Songs from Bollywood movies are generally pre-recorded by professional playback singers, with the actors then lip synching the words to the song on-screen, often while dancing. While most actors, especially today, are excellent dancers, few are ... singers. One notable exception was Kishore Kumar, who starred in several major films in the 1950s while also having a stellar career as a playback singer. K. L. Saigal, Suraiyya, and Noor Jehan were also known as both singers and actors. Some actors in the last thirty years have sung one or more songs themselves; for a list, see Singing actors and actresses in Indian cinema.

The majority of Pakistan's population watch Bollywood films, due to the similarities between Hindi and Urdu languages as well as similar culture. Despite the ban on Indian films, a few of Bollywood films have been legally released there such as Taj Mahal. For the most part, Bollywood movies are watched on cable in Pakistan, and there is a huge market for Bollywood movies in local video stores. Many people in other South Asian countries, especially Bangladesh and Nepal... watch Bollywood films.

Funding for Bollywood films often comes from private distributors and a few large studios. Indian banks and financial institutions were forbidden from lending money to movie studios. However, this ban has now been lifted.[5] As finances are not regulated, some funding ... comes from illegitimate sources, such as the Mumbai underworld. The Mumbai underworld has been known to be involved in the production of several films, and are notorious for their patronisation of several prominent film personalities; On occasion, they have been known to use money and muscle power to get their way in cinematic deals. In January, 2000, Mumbai mafia hitmen shot Rakesh Roshan, a film director and father of star Hrithik Roshan; it had been reported that he had rebuffed mob attempts to meddle with his film distribution.
Bollywood makes many films each year. Many Bollywood films are called Masala films. In Hindi, Masala means spice. These movies usually have higher levels of sex, revenge, contrasts of rich and poor in them.
Probably why Bollywood has got more fans than Hollywood is because that most countries in that region don't really make that many movies in the first place. Plus since that part of the world has strict requirements of what you can put into a movie (such as no nude women etc...) of course you're going to have fans of Indian flicks.
