  2. Cultural Diffusion of the Bollywood Music Culture

  3. Bollywood as a Cultural Link • According to some social scientists, the most important "binding element" among diasporic Indians is Bollywood culture. • Many Bollywood films make full, explicit use of song and dance to describe the actual journey into diasporic space: the space of imagination is thus amplified across national borders.

  4. The International Audience • International tickets sales account for 15% to 25% of the money made in theaters by Indian films, analysts say. For some films that figure can be as high as 50%. • Bollywood films bear signs of the global featured films: the new styles of clothing, music, dance, and cinematography, as well as the diverse, worldwide settings of the films. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihVAthbc0tI&feature=channel
