Bollywood music is used specifically to describe music from Bollywood musicals (musical films made in Bombay) and generally to describe all popular film music. Also known as filmi, it is the most popular form of music in India. Bollywood songs are often featured in song-and-dance fantasies of Bollywood films. In many cases it is the songs that make the movie not the other way around. These songs have been a fixture of Indian film since sound was introduced to film in 1931. Bollywood music is popular throughout India even though most of the songs are sung in Hindi, a language many Indians don’t understand. It is also popular among overseas Indians, Pakistani, Bangladeshis and people in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other parts of the world.. Many Tibetans like Bollywood music. Although it is too kitschy for many Westerners it does have a cult following among non-Indians in Europe and North America. The book is a humble attempt to present the life and contributions of a few forgotton Bollywood composers. The Lives and Contributions of these Forgotten Composer is Unforgattable.....
