films are the most important form of entertainment in india. film industry in india is among the largest in the world in terms of films produced (approximately 1000) in different languages which include films in hindi, kannada, bengali, tamil,marathi, telugu, punjabi and malayalam. approximately twenty-three million indians go to see a film every day. film federation of india is the apex body of film industry in india whose objective is to popularise and promote the cinema bollywood accounts for 46 percent of the total indian film industry revenues film industry experts. according to unofficial estimates available in january 2001, the indian film industry has an annual turnover of rs. 60 billion (approximately us$1.33 billion). it employs more than 6 million people, most of whom are contract workers as opposed to regular employees. as at the start of 2001, a reasonable budget film in hindi could cost us$1.75 million. a low budget hindi film can be made for even as low as rs. 15 million. a big budget hindi movie can cost in excess of us$30 million. the 'bigness' of the budget is attributable mainly to the high fees paid to 'stars', celebrated music directors, high-end technologies and expensive travel costs to shoot in exotic locations worldwide. at the time of writing, it is believed that 'stars' like shah rukh khan and salman khan are paid around rs. 100 million (us$440,000) per film. india has a national film development corporation (nfdc) which finances some films. a few film makers, who would find it hard to obtain finance from the regular sources, have been financed by the nfdc. however, nfdc cannot be considered to play a central role in the film industry because it finances too few films which, too, are not of the type that has made the indian film industry so vibrant.
