BOLLYWOOD MUMBAI, INDIA
Why is Bollywood globalizing? 1. Technology advances- Digital media has improved prints of Indian movies. They are much more appealing because they lack the grainy scenes of past movies, as well as frequent advertisements that used to crowd the top and bottom of the screen as well as break into flow of the movie. 2. Breakdown of Language Barriers- Subtitles now allow more people to watch Indian movies without knowledge of the language, making Bollywood all the more accessible. 3. Cultural Differences- The main attraction in these countries is the mix of modernity and tradition in Indian movies. People in countries in Africa and surrounding Asian countries do not easily identify with American culture. Topics such as divorce are not as common to their lives as those in America. In addition, people from other countries are sometimes anti-Americanization and as a result choose Bollywood over Hollywood. “The Indian masala film is closer to the emotional grammar of the Asians and Africans than the Hollywood box office bonanzas.”- The Hindu: “Bollywood films make waves around the world” 4. Tailoring of Stories- In addition, producers and directors are tailoring their stories more to the western audience, although it is indicated that the more authentic the movie, the more westerners enjoy it. 5. South Asian diaspora- NRI’s (Non-Resident Indians) previously migrating to countries such as Fiji and Africa, have now increased migration to the western world. They often encounter a nostalgic connection to their homeland and try to connect with Indian through various mediums- food, movies, religion, etc. South Asian diasporas are considered a distribution territory by Bollywood distributors due to the large number of movie they import. With increased population and import of movies, comes greater exposure to Bollywood which generates interest in non-Indian friends or associates. “…this world is getting smaller, and [people] want to see what other cultures are like. I have a sense that world cinema is much more important to people now.” – Tower VP John Thrasher qtd. in “Hearing Bollywood’s calling, Eros finds a U.S. market for Indian films”

Now…What To Do • Government • Get the competitiveness mindset, act as the facilitators • Foster regulation that support the industry and healthy competition • Facilitate the development of cluster industry that has the interconnection with supporting industry and the related industry • Realize the high potential of this industry can bring, with the current momentum of change • Actively promoting local movie productions to international market • Facilitate the IFC for competitiveness not controlling it or intervene • Develop the education and research institution that support the development of competitiveness of human resource • Policy support, Grant support, and facilities support to local movie producers • Private Sectors • Continue to build competency of competitiveness in the global market, get more acclaimed from international community • Open for healthy competition • Start the move of “Competitiveness Movie Industry”, continuously educate the market and government • IFC • More and more independent IFC • Develop Indonesia Movie Commissions (integrated of Government-private sector-and IFC • Competitive mindset of IFC to promote Indonesia products internationally • IFC foster the development of education institutions
