About Hindi Movies

The Hindi film industry began in the early 1900's. The first Hindi movie Raja Harishchandra made its debut during the silent film era. Hindi movies are extremely popular and annual ticket sales and overall revenue for these films more than double that of United States or western-based films. Currently, the Indian film industry produces nearly 1,000 films a year in over 20 different languages.

People generally use Hindi movies and Bollywood in the same context. While Bollywood is a huge part of the Indian film industry, it is not the entire industry. Bollywood films are more often than not, musicals while Hindi movies in general include many different genres of film. Throughout the entire Indian film industry though, Bollywood films are the most popular of all Indian produced films.

Some movies are lower budget, inexpensively produced pictures. Most, however, are large, big budget productions rich in cinematic photography. You can find Hindi movies in every genre including:

• Horror
• Comedy
• Musical
• Drama
• Romantic comedy
• Action/Adventure

Hindi movies are very popular in countries such as the United Kingdom and Nepal. These films are experiencing a growth in popularity within the United States. The most popular genre in the Indian film industry is by far the musicals. These films include lavish productions, beautiful costumes, intricate choreography and fun, catchy tunes.

Plagiarism Problems

In order to not exceed production budget constraints and churn out films as quickly as possible, the Indian film industry was once known for plagiarizing certain western-based films. Here are a few examples:

• The Indian film Awarapan is said to be the same story as A Bittersweet Life.
• Ek Ajnabee tells the exact same story as the western film Man on Fire.
• Hum Tum is said to copy the story of the classic Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan film When Harry Met Sally.

Things to Keep in Mind Before Downloading

Here are some final things you need to keep in mind before downloading your favorite Hindi films to your computer (especially Bollywood films that often have a run-time of three hours or more):

• Clean up your Web cache – Temporary Internet files and pictures take up a lot of disk space and memory. Cleaning out this disk space helps the movie to play without interruption while viewing.
• System requirements – Before you begin downloading your chosen movie, be sure that system requirements and operating systems for the film download and your computer's system requirements and operating systems are compatible. If they aren't, you won't be able to download the film.
• Keep an eye on "free" trial – Many websites advertise free movie downloads when they are really offering limited time free trials to their websites. Read the fine print before you submit any kind of personal information such as credit card numbers, addresses and phone numbers.
• File size – Be sure to check the file size of the film against how much available memory you have on your computer. If you don't have enough available memory, the entire film may not download.
