INTRODUCTION

A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still images which, when shown on a
screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to phi phenomenon. A film is created
byphotographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature
models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a
combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects. Contemporary definition of
cinema is the art of simulating experiences, that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings,
beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other
sensory stimulations.[1]
The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry. Films were originally recorded onto plastic
film which was shown through a movie projector onto a large screen; more modern techniques may
use wholly digital filming and storage, such as the Red One camera which records onto hard-disk or
flash cards.
Films usually include an optical soundtrack, which is a graphic recording of the spoken words, music
and other sounds that are to accompany the images. It runs along a portion of the film exclusively
reserved for it and is not projected.

Haathi Mere Saathi (English: Elephant My Partner) is an Indian film and a favourite with children in the
early 1970s. The movie has a Disneyesque appeal with an Indian twist.Haathi Mere Saathi was the biggest
hit of 1971 going by box office collections eclipsing the Raj Khosla-made Mera Gaon Mera Desh and was
critical acclaimed film. Rajesh Khanna was the biggest star of that period, and Haathi Mere Saathi ranks
high among the biggest ever hits of his career. But the film ranks as a classic because it is still unequalled
as the complete family fare in its genre for kid.[1] The film at that point in time was the biggest hit ever made
by a South producer in Hindi.[2]
The story was written by producer Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar, who overviewed the film and
played a small cameo in it. Directed and edited by his brother M.A.Thirumugham, it had screenplay by

CONCLUSION
In its beginnings, the Indian movie industry had a sordid history. Before 2000, The Indian government
didn't recognize film as an industry and banned all banks and lending institutions from providing loans
to all Indian filmmakers. As a result, the film companies had to find private financial backing on their
own.
At first, the wealthy merchants and businesses backed the films, then, organized crime got into the
business of making films. After the Indian government lifted the ban in 2000 and officially declared the
making of films an industry, many banks and lending institutions were slow to financially back the films
due to the its criminal ties in the past.
In the mid 2000's this negative tide slowly began to turn for the positive, and the industry began to
produce higher quality movies, gaining in popularity in eastern countries but not making much
headway in the west. It wouldn't be long before the impact of Bollywood would be felt in the west with
the release of flashy, cinematically eye-catching films that would soon define an industry.
Once legitimate financial backing became an option for Bollywood filmmakers, the quality of
production increased to a point where they became more in line with the films western moviegoers
were used to seeing. By 2001, the industry far surpassed the U.S. film industry by films and by
revenue. Here is a closer look at the numbers according to businessweek.com
