Bollywood Dreams

November 6, 2003 - November 29, 2003

In Bollywood Dreams Torgovnik explores the beloved pastime of an Indian population of over one billion. As the world’s largest film-producing country, India creates more than 800 films per year, making its movie industry a cultural and commercial phenomenon. Paying tribute to stars, film makers, technicians and moviegoers, Bollywood Dreams puts a human face on the fantastical, spectacle-rich films that compel as many as fourteen million people to the cinema on a single day in India alone.
