Bollywood


I read the plot summary of Slumdog Millionaire.  Many people think it is a Bollywood movie even though it was produced by an American company.  Slumdog Millionaire is about a boy who went onto the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire".  He grew up uneducated but ended up answering all the questions on the show, but he was suspected of cheating because nobody knew how he knew all the answers.  The movie then was about his life and how he learned all the answers to the questions.  
Slumdog Millionaire is not a Bollywood movie because it was not produced in Bombay, India and it is not a Hindi language film.  It is also not set up the same way as a Bollywood movie is with the lipsinking, dancing, and length of the movie.
