One of the brains behind Bollywood and a participant in this spectacular documentary, Shekhar Kapur, defines it like this: "We hate it, we love it, we see it as something regressive, we see it as something modern. Is it melodramatic or mythical?" Bollywood has fascinated the world with its stories of romance and its spectacular choreographies. It has defied the Hollywood industry with an indigenous, highly ambitious cinema. But there's another question to be answered: How did Bollywood manage to captivate billions of spectators? Here is a documentary that reviews seventy years of romance and cinema in its purest form. (Sitges Film Festival)
