    The ironies of Bollywood

    FEATURE. Tabish Khair adresses the term ‘Bollywood’ in this issue of 16:9 and finds that the term does not cover all the films coming out of Bombay, let alone Calcutta and the thriving centres of film-making in South India. ‘Bollywood’ describes primarily ‘commercial’ films made in Bombay – films featuring song, dance, action, drama, and often borrowing features and ideas from Hollywood.
