Bollywood extends its reach

[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

There's a Bollywood tradition of shooting part of their films in foreign
locales, especially the musical numbers these movies are famous for. Usually
part of a dream sequence, these songs take the hero and heroine to the Swiss
Alps, the deserts of Egypt, and even Niagara Falls. A new trend in many
Bollywood movies, however, is to set parts of the plot outside India. It's a
matter of India's film industry acknowledging the growing South Asian
diaspora, which spends big money to catch a Bollywood flick.
