Bollywood films are often long - three hours, with an intermission.

Bollywood films are full of musical dance sequences, colorful costumes and creative choreography.

Romance and love are important elements in Bollywood cinema. However, kissing is almost never shown on screen.

About 14 million Indian people go to the cinema everyday, and 4 billion cinema tickets are sold each year for Bollywood films (compared to 3 billion for Hollywood.)

Bollywood is a nickname referring to the Indian film industry. The 'B' comes from Bombay (now 'Mumbai') - a large city in India, and a base for the film industry.


Bollywood is the largest film industry in the world, making more than 1000 films each year - twice as many as Hollywood

Your trailer looks to be very interesting... why don't you analyse some Bollywood trailers... and find the things (conventions) that are common between all of them - sort of like a "recipe for Bollywood trailers" and use that as a guideline when making yours to enhance its professionalism?
