Hypothesis

My hypothesis is that traditional forms make Bollywood film stronger; religon is an aspect of the restriction in the industry which gives power. This is why Bollywood films are individually powerful as they find alternative ways of expressing powerful emotions. Bollywood benefits as an industry as 'India is a country with 17 major languages, almost all of which are spoken by a populace larger than England.' There is six different major religious denominations and ethnic minorities which are the same size as entire Eastern European countries. Therefore the Bollywood industry is a uniting form that brings together this large audience all of which come from a different demographic. So the hypothesis is that the traditional elements in the films are part of the success of the Bollywood industry.
