• Bollywood was born in 1899 with the production of a short film and Hollywood’s birth happened 11 years later in 1910 with a Biography melodrama.
• Hollywood produces 500 films per year on average and has a worldwide audience of 2.6 billion whereas Bollywood produces more than 1000 (not consistently) films every year and has a worldwide audience of 3 Billion. In terms of viewership, Bollywood overtook Hollywood in 2004 and has been leading ever since.
• Bollywood films tend to involve a slower filmmaking process due to India's relative lack of high tech production facilities.
• Indian film also involves lower cost budgets, mainly due to the average storyline’s focus on family, domesticity and social interrelations; as opposed to those $100m plus Hollywood action movies that award their stars huge pay checks.
• Usually includes periodic song and dance routines
• Movies tend to be melodramatic and sentimental, but also feature comedy, romance, action, suspense and other genres.
