FILMS IN INDIA

The country leads the world in the output of movie films, with more than 900 produced annually. They command an enormous
domestic market and have become increasingly popular abroad, particularly in Asia, Africa and West Asia. The major
production centres are Mumbai, Madras and Calcutta. Movies are the most popular medium of entertainment. Much of the
commercial cinema revolves around social dramas and thrillers with many songs and dance sequences thrown in. But an art
cinema which takes a serious look at Indian society is becoming increasingly popular. There has been widespread recognition
of Indian artistes and directors at film festivals in different parts of the world. The late Satyajit Ray was awarded many
prestigious international awards including the Oscar in 1992 for Lifetime Achievement in Cinema.
