Kissing on screen still did stir controversy. Rules were different when India was governed by British laws, which weren’t stringent. Hollywood is known for its three-act structure, she says, but Bollywood movies have an intermission, right before a minor climax, adding that some scholars even call it “the cinema of interruptions.” The two-part structure can be observed in all the movies from the ’90s like “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and “Dil Toh Pagal Hai.” A censored BollywoodĬensorship has also been another source of interruption in Bollywood. The roots of song and dance as a part of storytelling originate from Sanskrit dramaturgy in the mythology genre, explained Rai. Though Bollywood movies are often called musicals, they aren’t musicals in the Hollywood way. So, cinema came to India around the same time as it came to the rest of the Western world,” said Swapnil Rai, assistant professor in the Department of Film, Television and Media at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The first Bollywood film was made in 1913. “The first Hollywood film was made in 1910. Though the term “Bollywood” started circulating in the 1970s, it became its own industry in the earlier part of the century.
Most people often think of Bollywood as an imitative version of Hollywood. With all the different cultures, languages and religions, kissing on screen has remained a subject of controversy and debate, in one form or another.Īrt and culture always go hand in hand, and the clues to understand the censorship laws that govern this $2.5 billion industry lie in the culture it originates from. Indian cinema has evolved over the last century in the way it draws its audience. So I like to keep them very clean,” according to Bollywood Hungama.īut to Khan’s dismay, the rise of streaming service like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar and others are changing the rules of censorship. “My mother my father, my seniors, my family, children they see these films of mine. I can’t even watch that content,” he said. That is the way I think cinema should be. The Bollywood vet said in a video last month: “if you see the characters I have played there has never been bad language or exposing or lovemaking scenes or kissing scenes. Salman Khan, the Tom Cruise of Bollywood with a net worth of $300 million, had Bollywood’s attention when he revealed why he preferred keeping it PG-13 on screen while promoting his latest release “Antim,” or “The Final Truth” in English.
Bollywood is known for its dramatic musical singalongs but no kissing scenes, at least for the most part.
