Due to its fame and cultural identityas the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word Hollywood is often used as a metonym of American cinema. Even though much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as West Los Angeles and the San Fernandoand Santa Clarita Valleys, significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects,props, post-production, and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does thebacklot of Paramount Pictures.

Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), Maharashtra, India. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; however, it is only a part of the total Indian filmindustry, which includes other production centres producing films in multiple languages. Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest centres of film production in the world. Bollywood is formally referred to as Hindi cinema. There has been a growing presence of Indian English in dialogue and songs as well. It is common to see films that feature dialogue with English words (also known as Hinglish), phrases, or even whole sentences

Which celebrities are members of the Illuminati?(hollywood and bollywood)

The Illuminati are generally powerful and rich people, not a lot of celebrities are members of the Illuminati. Just because the Illuminati controls the music and film industries, does not mean that all celebrities are members. Celebrities do not sell their

souls to become famous, the Illuminati believe in God, they just fear God. The Illuminati will kill anyone, anywhere at anytime to get what they need. The people that are "AntiNew World Order" and speak out against the Illuminati will be murdered like2Pac, and most recently, Michael Jackson. 2Pac and Michael Jackson were going to warn the entire world about what the Illuminati are planning. If you look at the title of 2Pac's album "The Don Killuminati" for example; 2Pac was referring to the Illuminati in this title, Kill + Illuminati. The Illuminati have killed 2Pac, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Jon Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, John F.

This report is a comparative study of the legal and business practices prevailing in the Indian film industry ("Bollywood" which, for the purposes of this Report also includes Sollywood, i the South Indian film industry) and the American film industry ("Hollywood") (the "Report"). Although Bollywood and Hollywood are the two largest film industries of the world in their own rights, the link between the two has been, until recently, rather tenuous. While each is aware of the other's existence, they have largely ignored one another. Apart from the occasional transitory migrations of individuals, there has been no deeper, longterm relationship established between the two. Both these mature industries have many areas of possible synergy and the ability to complement each other. But to create opportunities for the cross-pollination of talent and resources and enhance collaborative value creation, there is a clear and present need to understand each other's business and legal practices and to adapt and assist the industries in bridging the gap appropriately. The purpose of this Report is to help the two film industries come close enough to complement each other, create synergies and leverage on each other's strengths. Our specific research was based on finding answers to the following broad questions:

What is the current structure and composition of Bollywood and Hollywood? Who are the players involved in each stage of the value chain? What are the existing linkages between Bollywood and Hollywood? What are the major strengths and weaknesses, qualities of workforce and talent in Bollywood as compared to that in Hollywood?

What are the potential and strategic options for Bollywood with regard to Hollywood and globalization, pursuant to initiatives and incentives projected and provided by the Indian government and the industry? What are the differences in the legal framework and constraints within which these film industries currently operate and what are the areas that require improvement in Bollywood? What are the initiatives / policy issues that should taken at the governmental level to promote Bollywood?

This Report aims at:

Depicting a comprehensive picture of the existing scenario in Bollywood and Hollywood and their future growth and interaction potential; Offering a deeper understanding of the success of Hollywood and Bollywood, existing linkages and the technologies and processes followed; Understanding how Bollywood and Hollywood can work together and adopt each other's strengths so as to provide bigger and better entertainment in the future; Generating an awareness on improving Bollywood's legal and business practices so it may appropriately adopt the disciplined and regulated processes of Hollywood; and Identifying the needs of Bollywood and suggesting certain initiatives / policies that could be adopted by the Indian government to encourage and enhance the Indian film industry.

Holly-Bolly(wood) collaboration
Indian film industry to drive growth with Hollywood collaboration (Ernst & Young)
The Indian film industry is projected to grow from US$3.2 billion in 2010 to US$5 billion by 2014 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 14.1% and is further expected to benefit from an increased collaboration with Hollywood .

(VFX

industry)

There is a significant growth in the number of VFX companies operating in India. According to estimates, there are more than 40 major domestic VFX companies catering to domestic and international clients. Currently, India accounts for only around 10% of the total animation and VFX outsourcing pie. However, there is room for growth and the amount of work coming to India from Hollywood is on the rise. Of late, the VFX industry has been shifting toward higher-end assignments. India has well developed post production facilities available at low cost. A foreign producer who comes to shoot in India can complete his entire movie here, from shooting to post production to cut costs. Industry players are also tying up with film and entertainment companies on dedicated projects.

Travel&Tourism
In 2011, Indias travel and tourism industry contributed US$1.7 trillion (or 2.8% of the global GDP), which is expected to rise to 4.2% (US$2.9 trillion) by 2021. Furthermore, investments in the global travel and tourism industry are expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% to reach US$1.5 trillion by 2021 from US$0.6 trillion in 2010.

The Bollywood impact

New Zealand inked a co-production treaty with India in June 2011 in an attempt to gain from the Bollywood market, after realizing the benefits derived from various Bollywood films shot in it. Furthermore, Spain and India are close to signing an agreement that will facilitate and promote co-productions Ireland has been trying to attract Indian producers to shoot Bollywood movies in the country to give boost to its tourism industry. Irelands Minister for Arts and Tourism led a delegation to India and met senior Bollywood executives, asking them to consider Ireland as a filming location Switzerland hosts around 150,000 tourists from India and large number of Bollywood movies are shot in the country every year The French Government has set up Film France to attract international film shoots. It offers incentives such as refund of VAT on shoots by foreign film crews. France is also offering financial incentives to attract Bollywood producers to its shores. Many US states such as California, New York, Michigan, Nevada and Utah offer incentives to film and television production companies from India

Canada also offers incentives to producers of film, television, animation and visual effects from India and has attracted many Bollywood producers, who have shot movies in the country

Conclusion
Be it Hollywood or Bollywood, both prove the saying, "there is no business like show business." In spite of there being no definite formula for success and the risky nature of this business, the film industry has always attracted maximum attention and is still gaining in popularity. In recent times, Bollywood experienced the increasing influence of Hollywood, especially on business and legal practices. The reason for this has been the evergrowing international exposure that talent in Bollywood is getting as a result of the globalization of the entertainment industry. With India opening its doors to foreign investment in the film industry and permitting financial institutions to fund film projects, Bollywood is steadily witnessing a huge change in its outdated business and legal practices. It is very important to realize that films will always remain a risky business but becoming a business can mitigate the risk. Several Hollywood companies have shown an interest in co-production of films in India and the distribution of Indian productions in English. They have also expressed interest in bringing more of Hollywood to India, such as investments in infrastructure facilities, studios and multiplexes. To complement the foreign players and attract investments from overseas, the Indian film industry will have to work better and become more disciplined and organized. Corporatization and globalization are the buzzwords in Bollywood today. The transition process to move into the next phase has begun with issues like (a) drawing up of welldefined finance models; (b) planned organization structures; (c) transparency in dealings and accounting; and (d) addressing the global market, gaining importance. Furthermore, Lagaan's nomination for an Academy Award was an achievement in and of itself. Regardless of the fact that it did not win, there is no way that the Indian film industry can be ignored as a global force anymore. In December 2002, Lagaanwas released in Shanghai, the first Hindi film to be distributed in China in three decades.316 However, even while we are witnessing this globalization fever, there are lessons to be learnt for Bollywood with regards to marketing, diversifying and expanding in this global market. The way in which the Chinese, through films like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, penetrated the Western market and caught the attention of Hollywood is also an important point to be taken into consideration. The need of the hour is for the Indian film industry to realize the huge potential of venturing into the international

market beyond the non-resident Indian population. Producing films with local themes using the finest technical and directorial resources is the conduit to acquiring a greater foothold in the international arena. As Shekhar Kapur rightly said, "Indian films are the only ones which have the resilience to withstand the Hollywood juggernaut. In the next few years, one can be sure that Indian films and music will be seen and heard more and more outside the cloisters of non-resident Indians". As David Chute put it While Hong Kong cinema works by radical compression, Bollywood operates by expanding in all directions. This difference in style also demands immense amount of creativity, ingenuity, energy and craftsmanship to deliver intense pleasure for a long period of time. The important consideration that flows throughout the Report is the fact that there is an urgent need for Bollywood to improve business and legal practices employed and bring them on par with those prevailing in Hollywood. Even though Bollywood has weaknesses with regards to the inorganic and disorganized nature of conducting business, the lack of systems and processes, required management skills and poor enforcement environment, the fact still remains that there is enough talent, creativity and skill in the industry today and enough domestic and global opportunities exist for Bollywood to prosper and bloom. Correction of these weaknesses would help Bollywood in attracting international talent and resources. Further, just as in the case of the software industry, Bollywood can position itself as an ideal outsourcing base for Hollywood by leveraging its low-cost base and high-quality skills. On the other hand, Hollywood has the opportunity to tap into the vast pool of talent and benefit from the low-cost factor that Bollywood currently enjoys. However, it would require a lot more determination, commitment, effort and understanding from players operating in both industries if the chasm is to be bridged. Mark Twain once said, "For East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet. However, with Bollywood's outstanding features like cost effectiveness, a local, English-speaking populace, a large talent pool and a rich heritage of culture, history and geography, are creating areas of synergy with Hollywood and the 'twain' are set to meet!
