The empire that is bollywood

An uninformed informed may not be aware that hindi films and hindi teleserials are incredibly popular in West Africa, as I have observed in Ghana. The movies are titled in English and dubbed in local languages or English, and distributed widely. The teleserials get the same treatment, except that they're divided into 'seasons'. That I found interesting: Indian teledramas don't seem to have seasons. I'll bring photos of the DVD's of  'The young daughter in law' (Chotti bahu)the next time I'm at the markets.

I'll write in greater detail about the Indian influence in Ghana in a future post.
