Pretty much everyone knows the reason that Mumbai is no longer called Bombay. The name was always Mumbai, but sometime ago when the British were ruling India-it turned into Bombay. Thank goodness for independence.
Well, subsequently, the film industry in Mumbai became known as Bollywood. It was partly the fact that-again, the city was called Bombay and they wanted to pay a little homage to Hollywood. Well, Desi Hits! has just received word that there's going to now be a name change to the film industry.
Bollywood is now going to be Mollywood. That's right, Mollywood is here to stay so get used to it. The name change has reportedly been long coming and was finally decided on by the Indian Film Association. They want to unite their country under the rightful name of Mumbai, that's why we want to start getting the word out.
It seems like a good idea, considering Bollywood and Mumbai don't make much sense. We just feel bad for all those countless books, DVDs, even dances that will have to soon ditch the word 'Bollywood' for 'Mollywood'. For example, will the new Katrina Kaif Barbie now be called 'Mollywood Barbie'? We're sure the film industry and the government are going to come together to make this change happen seamlessly.
All you have to do is tell your friends and family. This is something that the entire country needs to come together and get behind. So we want to know what you think about the name change of the film industry. Do you think that it's a necessary and important distinction that needs to be made? Or do you want to just leave the name as Bollywood and move on with the whole issue? Give us your thoughts and be sure to voice your opinions and concern!
Just kidding! Happy April Fools Day!
