Over the course of 75 years of Indian cinema (from 1946 to 2021), there have been several notable developments and milestones: Golden Age of Indian Cinema: The period between the 1940s and 1960s is often referred to as the Golden Age of Indian Cinema. During this time, filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Guru Dutt, and Bimal Roy created masterpieces that earned critical acclaim worldwide. Bollywood Emergence: The term “Bollywood” became popular in the 1970s and refers to the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay). Bollywood films gained widespread popularity across India and in various international markets, contributing significantly to Indian cinema’s global appeal. Parallel Cinema Movement: Alongside mainstream Bollywood cinema, there was a parallel cinema movement that focused on more realistic and socially relevant themes. Filmmakers like Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, and Mrinal Sen were pioneers of this movement. Global Recognition: Indian films gained recognition at international film festivals and received critical acclaim in various countries. Films like “Mother India,” “Salaam Bombay!,” “Lagaan,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Bajirao Mastani,” and “Gully Boy” are some examples of Indian films that received international acclaim and awards.
