Looks like a confluence
LOS ANGELES: Hollywood met Bollywood at the Academy Awards this year, and the makers of Oscar champ Slumdog Millionaire hope it is a sign of future melding between the U.S. dream factory with its counterparts in India and elsewhere in the world.
The low-budget production was a merger of India’s brisk Bollywood movie industry, which provided most of the cast and crew, and the global marketing reach of Hollywood, which turned the film into a commercial smash, said British director Boyle. “We’re Brits, trapped in the middle, but it’s a lovely trapped thing. You can see it’s going to happen more and more. There’s all sorts of people going to work there. The world’s shrinking a little bit.”
It was a theme Oscar voters embraced through the evening with other key awards honouring films fostering broader understanding and compassion.
