Bollywood films are going places. There is no denying the fact that at the global front Indian films have established a strong foothold. And if the industry’s growing popularity is any indication, it will be not long that the best of Hollywood investors line up at our doorstep to cash in on the immense talent available here in India.
Danny Boyle, perhaps knew this phenomena well before he conceptualized his mega Oscar triumph – ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. The entire film was shot in India. Star cast included Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto. All Indians except for the storyteller – a foreigner
Not that the film reflected the actual essence of India but it did help in putting forth at the international map our potential in terms of aspects pertinent to the success of a project. Be it skills, resources or the ability to transform even the frivolity of things into real worth. And finally at the year end, in the prestigious Academy felicitation the whole world rejoiced to ‘Jai Ho’!
Apart from Indian mores forming a background for international films, there are has been a rising trend among west filmmakers to make films based on the ethos primarily focusing on Indian cultural fabrication. The case in point is another celebrated director/producer of Hollywood Jennifer Lynch showing interest here in India while she filmed her super natural cum mythological thriller ‘Hisss’. Starring Indian bombshell Mallika Sherawat, the film won wide scale appreciation at several prestigious film festivals, all across the globe.
And not only this, there has been a surge of young filmmakers in India who have taken the baton to a respectable level. They stand at par with renowned directors, producers, Bollywood celebrities and they know exactly how to project their work and make it acknowledged at the international forum. For instance, at Cannes this year, there were scores of films selected from India under various categories. The reality struck when films got recognitions and were awarded for some exceptional performances by Indian artists.
Therefore, it can be rightly said now that Indian cinema has progressed and the demand for Indian films has increased more than ever. Bollywood heavyweights like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitatbh Bachan, AR Rahman enjoy a fan following worldwide. No doubt that their contribution has been significant in changing the face of Bollywood to an excellent destination for any cinema aficionado of the world!

Celebrity News Could Actually Be Good for You
Recently a study has been released that shows all of those people who love their celeb news, are actually benefiting from reading it. It’s not just reading about A-listers like Brad Pitt or Gemma Arterton, but also getting your daily dose of Big Brother or X-Factor gossip about Cheryl Cole that helps you. Reading about a celebrity’s health problems helps to promote awareness in the people who read about them.
The most prominent case where this has happened was Jade Goody. When she was diagnosed with cervical cancer, she spent a lot of time promoting screening and testing for other women. Her public battle with the disease caused an increase in women going to be screened which has continued. In fact the uplift was so prominent that people in the industry actually named it the ‘Jade Goody effect.’ This is something for anyone to be proud of and a fantastic example of someone utilising their celebrity to help others.
Even though not all celebrities choose to highlight their battles with disease, just their acknowledgement of the disease can encourage people to get health checks for that disease. It’s often something people don’t even consider until the newspapers and magazines are full of stories, like Michael Douglas’ struggle with throat cancer. The media exposure through the power of celebrity is often enough to reach a far greater level of the public than public service health announcements. This effect is even greater when the celebrity is someone respected around the world.
While the increased awareness of illnesses such as cancers are a hugely important side effect, there’s also aspects such as drug addiction. Reading about a celebrity’s drug addiction problems, such as Lindsay Lohan’s, can often prompt friends or family members to realise that there is someone they know who is exhibiting the same symptoms. It may take a raised awareness like this to encourage family and friends to confront the possible addict and see where their concerns are justified or not.
The next steps would often be to get the person to seek help if possible, and again that’s something that the exposure of the celebrity’s issues in the media can help with. Recognising a similar problem, or someone with the same temperament can help you to find the treatment program or rehabilitation centre. Looking at celebrity gossip to see which rehab centres worked for celebrities can help the person who has a problem. Problems such as bulimia, anorexia and alcoholism can also be featured in celebrity news and so finding that information on treatment programs and centres is also a valuable tool.
There is nothing more naturally in human interaction that talking about others. This is a source of drama in relationships, but also a source of shared joviality for many. As time has progressed, we have all looked at people removed from ourselves and projected what we feel towards them based on stories and hearsay. Simply put, gossip is fun whether it is about royal families or the newest teen heartthrobs. Celebrity gossip is a multibillion dollar business today that does not look to be stopping any time soon.
