Brand Bollywood

This creative and artistic journey orchestrated by Anupam Sharma answers the question posed to many international travellers like me: Why is Bollywood so popular in India? Now I don't have to give lengthy explanations. Will just recommend them to watch this 93 minutes of pure delight, information and entertainment.

This movie educated even a movie buff like me on the evolution of films in India as we got freedom from the clutches of British rule. It paved the way for new opportunities to artists, musicians and film makers. Technology evolved and Indians were smart to imbibe them. The development of cinema continues unabated. Bollywood has in some ways become a mirror of life. Thanks to Anupam for all the effort in putting so much interesting stuff together in the form of this movie.

Brand Bollywood Downunder is an iconic feature documentary which serves as a love letter to Australian/Indian filmmaking.

This feature educated me on the art of Bollywood film production and its importance to a worldwide audience.

Anupam Sharma has yet again engaged a cross-cultural audience through colourful, artful and entertaining filmmaking.

From shots of archival Hindi cinema to exclusive behind the scenes footage, this film serves as a behind the curtain look at the Bollywood industry in Australia.

I would recommend this film for adults and children alike who have an interest in all things world cinema!

Brand Bollywood Downunder, directed by Anupam Sharma, intricately explores Bollywood's relationship with Australia, spanning from its historical roots to its global expansion.

Sharma adeptly merges profound knowledge with captivating anecdotes, offering a cinematic experience equivalent to exploring various film industry museums. The documentary vividly recounts Bollywood's genesis and its evolution beyond Mumbai and India.

The film's narrative is enriched with rare insights and lesser-known facts, revealing Anupam's deep passion and expertise. It seamlessly blends interviews, archival footage, and scenic Australian landscapes, creating a visually compelling and informative journey.

Brand Bollywood Downunder goes beyond mere documentation; it celebrates Australia's role as a vibrant backdrop for Bollywood productions. It highlights how Australian locations have become integral to Bollywood storytelling, showcasing the cultural exchange and collaboration between Indian filmmakers and Australian communities.

This documentary not only underscores Bollywood's global influence but also illuminates how it enriches Australia's cultural tapestry. It's a must-watch for anyone intrigued by Bollywood's international footprint and its profound influence on Australian shores.

"Brand Bollywood" is not only about Bollywood!

This fascinating documentary takes us on a dynamic journey outside of the mainstream to achieve a deeper understanding of Indian Cinema.

With a creatively personalised "India" as our narrator and a vibrating fast-paced edit, Brand Bollywood thrives in telling us the evolution of Indian Cinema, the Indian film market, and the relationship between Bollywood and Australia. In times like this, when most people considers Bollywood as the opium of the people, this documentary came to show us much more and from different perspectives. As I am a history and cultural-enthusiastic myself, I found it insightful as well as entertaining. Most importantly, on a general view, this documentary unfolds the truth of Cinema, both its Art and Business sides, and therefore, I recommend it to any professional filmmaker, film student or anyone interested in knowing about the 7th art industry.
