Brand Bollywood

Recently i happen to be a part of the gang which saw this documentary on Bollywood. Though it was a documentary still we couldn't move out of our seats bcs the research work so deep that whatever it had was new to us. Though being an Indian i thought i knew a lot about Bollywook but after watching this my knowledge about Bollywood has increased. Kudos to the team Brand Bollywood for their research work...AND a big hats off, Kudos, salute to the director Anupam Sharma for roping in so many Bollywood personalities to share their experiences and also for filming it... Anupam Sharma ji we look forward for more of good content from you..

"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.

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!

India is an amplified Bollywood ! We thrive on it,embrace it and live vicariously through it . To see how it was nurtured from the inception to a full grown phenomena ,was a treat in itself . Brand Bollywood is a fast paced ,informative and enjoyable movie . The narrative is India herself and for me that was a master stroke . The ups and downs , the movers and shakers , the glitz and glamour ,its amazing leap of globalisation ,a multi crore multi faceted Bollywood is all encompassing of Brand Bollywood. It's the directors vision and effort of weaving Bollywood in the gorgeous locales of Australia and giving Australia the peek into creative field of indian cinema. Wishing luck to the world to take a deep dive in to the history and come out blown away and enriched by deep colours of love , emotions and songs .

I recently watched a documentary which amazed me with its meticulous research and impartial exploration of the culturally rich art form of Indian cinema. The narrative thread of the documentary was particularly noteworthy as it showed the history of Indian filmmaking. The film delved deep into its subject matter and presented it in an engaging and all-inclusive manner that educated the audience fearlessly about both the highs and lows of Bollywood's narrative and business side of evolution and its complex global history. The documentary then transitioned into Australia, showcasing the beautiful Australian landscape to the Indian audience around the world. It chronicled the industry's struggle to gain acceptance Down Under. As a filmmaker myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and the knowledge it imparted. It highlighted how the film industries of both countries could benefit from a stronger connection between Australia and India.
