Bollywood has evolved to meet the tastes of those who watch it. Well, obviously, I disagree with this interpretation, and so do 1.3 billion Indians who consume this media on a daily basis. As a result, many view it as a caricature of real music. Bollywood is much more exaggerated than American music. While some interpretations border on racism (a.k.a the Bollywood dance scene from My Cinderella Story 3), others are just misinformed. Many people, especially in American society, have a preconceived notion of what Bollywood is like. The songs in Bollywood vary greatly, as they are designed to fit different movie scenes. Every Bollywood movie is a musical Indian pop music is essentially all musical theater, but not the Mary Poppins or Sound of Music vibe we think of. Bollywood music is not only very different stylistically than Western music, but it also only comes from movies. Since I promised you guys all kinds of different genres, it only seems fitting that I include a genre that has had such a huge influence in my life. Growing up as an Indian American, a large part of the music I listen to is Bollywood.
