Slum Dog Millionaire Entrenched Bollywood's Challenge to Hollywood?
By Chris Chew

Mumbai has always been the Hollywood of India with a thriving film making industry primarily
catering to cinema goers in India. The movie, Slum Dog Millionaire shot this ancient Indian city to
worldwide attention and is now attracting more curious tourists than ever.

Mumbai, perhaps more well known by its former name, Bombay, is the capital city of India's
Maharashtra state is home to a population of about 13 million people and is the largest metropolis in
India. It is also one of the most populated cities in the world. Some people refer to Bombay as the
tinsel town of India akin to Hollywood because Bombay is the centre of the Hindi movie industry.

Because of this association with Hollywood, Hindi movies are referred to as Bollywood made movies.
The recipe for success in Bollywood is the usual poor boy meets rich girl theme interspersed with
plenty of singing, dancing and costume changes. However this successful formula may have to be
changed. While this formula is still a staple Bollywood fare, an increasing number of movies are
experimenting with diverse story lines, from gritty dramas to horror flicks.

Industry observers say is the changes are related to, ironically, India's booming economy, which has
produced a better educated middle class that demands more sophisticated and more complex plots.
This evolution is successfully proven in the movie "Slum Dog Millionaire".

In a strange twist of events, the transformation is happening at a time when Bollywood's visual
focused style of filmmaking is infiltrating into Hollywood, influencing movies like Moulin Rouge. Indian
filmmakers in the United States are infusing Hollywood made movies with the colors and lavish
aesthetics, Bollywood style.

oulin Rouge was reportedly influenced by a trip the film's director Baz Luhrmann made to India and his
fascination with Bollywood style movies. The movie even featured a closing number based on the Hindi
song "Chamma Chamma".

Because of the popularity of Bollywood made movies, Mumbai is attracting tourists from all over the
world and also domestic tourists, just like its counterpart, Hollywood. To satisfy the estimated 14 million
or so Indians who troop to the cinema every day, the Bollywood churns out more than a thousand
movies a year. This is at least twice as many movies as Hollywood produce in a year.

The Bollywood actors and actresses will break out into songs and dance routine anytime, something
which often leaves Western movie goers somewhat perplexed and puzzled. Earlier made movies may
even include up to 40 songs per movie. However, these days, the song and dance segment has
watered down to about seven or eight per film. Location shoots in the movies often take place in
beautiful foreign locations, something industry sources believe is made to appeal to the poor and to
attract domestic tourists.

"Most Indians go to the cinema purely for escape. When there are characters singing and dancing in
beautiful locations in Europe, say, like Switzerland and that, for most Indians is the only way they will
ever get to see those places" said Ramchandran.

However, with India's booming economy, millions of people have moved out of poverty trap into a the
middle class and film productions seem to be moving in tandem from pure escapism to more
sophisticated stories and plots.

How much changes are to be made to Bollywood style of film making will be seen from the years to
come. In the meantime, Bollywood has certainly made Bombay famous as a holiday vacation
destination for tourists visiting India thanks largely to Slum Dog Millionaire.

How Not To Be A Business Flop
By Wendy Hershey

We've all heard the sad statistics - 97% of online marketers fail. They fall flat on their faces with many
attempts to grow successful busineses. Discouragement flies high with thousands of online marketers
who repeatedly attempt in vain to succeed. Their motivation gradually sinks to such a low level making
it difficult to climb out of the deep pit of failure.

So, why is there such a massive number of people failing in online marketing? There must be some
type of pattern that these people continually follow down their path of failure. Or perhaps, they just
don't realize what it actually takes to be successful? I believe it's the latter.

The truth is this: There are definite things that a person must believe and do in order not to be a
business flop. Success will be on the horizon if a person will take action with the following:

1.Believe That You Will Become a Millionaire

You are what you think. If you can't first mentally picture what you want to be, then you will never be
that person. Simple as that. The image must first start in the mind before it manifests outwardly. You
must believe before anything occurs. Without a belief, failure is certain. Believe to become that
millionaire!

2. Speak Out Loud That You Will Become a Millionaire

There's power in the spoken word. Look in the mirror and speak to yourself, "I will become a
millionaire." The tongue gives you power. Speaking negativity breeds negative results. Don't let
negative words roll off of your tongue. Speak out loud to become that millionaire!

3. Hunt for a Millionaire Mentor

This is a must have! You must be connected with a mentor who can lead you from scratch to where
you want to go. You ONLY want to be under the wing of a millionaire mentor. Don't waste your time
with anyone less qualified. Millionaire mentors can be found in any online business. You just have to
be persistent in your search for one. Ask for a referral to one. Do an internet search for one. Go get
your millionare mentor!

4. Be Relentless to Become a Millionaire

You are like a dog on a bone... you never let go of your dream to become a millionaire. You become
unyielding to any setbacks. You pursue the goal despite road blocks. Your eye is always on the goal.
You visualize and speak your goal everyday. You are relentless!

In summary, you will eventually come to the point where you no longer can tolerate being a business
flop. It's such a nasty label! Take a step on faith today and start with a change in what you think and
what you say.. "I will be a millionaire." Open a window and yell it to the world! Look yourself in the
mirror ...do you see that smiling millionaire looking at you? Of course you do. It's you. You can be
whoever you think or say you will be. It's not up to anyone but you. Just believe.
