Grrrr......how much?
Bollywood connections
"The Indian mafia is notoriously heavily involved in Mumbai's Bollywood film industry, providing films with funding and using them as fronts for other activities. Although in recent times police investigations have forced mobsters to make their activities more subtle, for most of Bollywood's existence stars openly displayed their mafia connections, attending parties with mafia dons and using their help to gain new roles."
(Never understood the value of Indian Cinema.
Is it a cultural phenomenon?
A uniquely Indian form of art that India can truly be proud of?
A center of excellence and craftsmanship within global cinema which is unrivalled?
Naturally not having been brought on Bollywood I have never appreciated it.
The stupid repetitive songs, and same old dance routines wholly out of context.
The ham fisted acting.
The repetitive subject matter.
One finds it intensely irritating.
But thats what you get when gangsters, NOT TRUE ARTISTS PROUD IN THEIR CRAFTSMAN run the show)
