Bollywood Times
Famed cousin of Hollywood and subtilized by the agnomen Tollywood
This brobdingnagian docudrama industry
Has brought home the bacon
Over a meg neighborhood.
The thirties first tacit motion black and white
Greeted the first sound Irani’s Alam Ara
The Take World War II riotous plot
Storm-tossed by blue fank.
The daring director yet trod on
With a plot reflecting a life of a hapless farmer
Going along against the doomed aura
Marched till independence
Later at republic, got hold of the golden era.
The fifties and sixties sleek marcel
And movies reflecting social themes
Flowed from a thriving commercial egress.
Over across the border
Ever since Neecha Nagar gained ground
Paved the way towards internationally acclaimed
Ethical competitions.
The chichi modern era
The addend Kapoors and the comer Bachhan
Furled hairdo and bellbottom pants
Took on the seventies elan.
Succeeded by the eighties
Chocked up by drama, actions and thrills
Accompanied the Khans in the ninties.
Flirtatious era and
Cottony and forte music,
Thronged foxes
Bruits media outrages,
The mid ninety terror closed book
And more amusive bulletin pages.
Dirty dancing and wet bikini shots
Yet movies maneuvered with worth remembering thoughts.
The versatile era and
Macho-man crying,
Few love birds becoming life-long couples.
From the thirties to the nineties
Along the agonistic twenty first
The aging brobdingnagian docudrama industry
Has brought home the bacon
Over a meg neighborhood.
