This article, written by BBC journalist Rajini Vaidyanathan discusses the change in Bollywood from the view of, romantic, performing art productions to a new breed of films which now challenges and confronts modern dilemmas rather than sticking to the previously used formula. Of course a key part of Bollywood is, and always will be the singing and dancing which if we do use an influence from Bollywood would be good to incorporate, but what this article says is that Bollywood accepts and will move on from the old style. This gives me confindence to progress with my groups idea as we had concerned the narrative wouldn't fit into a Bollywood theme and that it now might do that.
"For decades, Bollywood cinema has stuck to a tried and tested formula - boy meets girl, parents object to the marriage, family is torn apart - a few fight scenes and dance routines later there is a happy ending."
