Bollywood Day

 


Dance is the heartbeat of Bollywood, serving as a powerful tool for storytelling, emotional expression, and cultural celebration.

I found this lovely number from Devdas.



The first Bollywood film was released in 1913.


Director Dhundiraj Govind Phalke is considered the father of Indian cinema.

The story is based on the mythological Hindu king, Harishchandra.

But Sholay, from 1975, is considered the most defining movie in Bollywood history.


I might need to check out some Hindi horror movies.

Dr. No was written in 1958, and his first Bond book, Casino Royale , was written in 1953.

I've only read the one in photo, and it was enjoyable. ** As for what I'm actually reading, I started a book recommended by my aunt and my sister, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I'm in the early stages, but it's setting an interesting stage. What are you reading??
