...world's busiest movie industry. In Bombay they call it Bollywood, and it puts Hollywood to shame: more than 700 films a year (roughly three times the number produced by the major Hollywood studios) in the nation's 16 official languages. Such actresses as Sridevi, Twinkle Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapoor and Chunky Pandey have their careers and private lives monitored by adoring fans with an intensity that Lana Turner would have envied.
