Sometimes the use of music was overdone. For example Indrasabha in 1932contained 70 songs. Since this era, music became the defining element of Indian cinema.
By 1940s cinematography played an important role in Indian movies. There remained a great deal of western influence on Indian popular cinema along with the song, dance, andfantasy staples.
By the 1950s Indian popular cinema had established itself as a form of art, entertainment and industry. Film historians call this period the golden age of Indian cinema.
The international popularity for many of these movies and film actors like Raj Kapoor made the Indian government recognize the revenue-earning capacity of the film industry.
The subsequent government intervention resulted in censorships and heavy taxation, which made life difficult for filmmakers.
In 1960, the Film Finance Corporation, which later formed the National Film Development Corporation, for financing and exportingfilms, was established.
The masala film – the quintessential Bollywood entertainer – burst onto the scene only in the 1970s.

Conclusion
Bollywood still has its controversies, but not with its funding. It seems that more than a few Bollywood films are very closely based on U.S. films to the point that many U.S. screenwriters have accused filmmakers of copying. Seeing as how cash strapped the industry was in the past, maybe they just didn't have the budget to hire writers. Regardless, the industry continues to grow at an extremely fast pace.
As the Indian film industry continues to churn out increasingly higher quality, bigger budget films, Bollywood continues to gain exposure worldwide. With the help of well known directors like M. Night Shyamylan bringing even more publicity to Bollywood, its impact in the entertainment industry will only continue to be felt.
