HOLLYWOOD TAKES ON BOLLYWOOD
 As well as being the wealthiest and most populous city in India, with over 20 million inhabitants, Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is home to India's incredibly prolific Hindi-language film industry. This is no cottage Industry. Every year, Bollywood - the word is a portmanteau of Bombay and Hollywood - produces roughly twice the number of feature films that are made in Hollywood. Those Hindi films are watched by an audience of 3 billion people worldwide, whereas the total audience for Hollywood films is only about 2.6 billion. However, the surprising truth behind those statistics is that 80% of the revenue from Bollywood films comes from inside India, while 50% of the money made from Hollywood films comes from outside the US, but almost none of it from India.
 Anyone who has watched both a traditional Bollywood film and a Hollywood blockbuster will perhaps understand why there is so little crossover between the audiences for these films. They are simply worlds apart. From the perspective of an audience used to watching Hollywood blockbusters, Bollywood films are puzzling and impossible to categorise. They follow conventions that are simply not reflected in American films. Bollywood films are always very long (three hours is normal) and therefore they have an intermission. They often combine elements of what a western audience would consider different genres within the same film. For example, whatever the storyline and wherever it takes place, a Bollywood film will almost invariably contain scenes with singing and dancing. Those scenes will involve lots of extras in costume and often be filmed in the Swiss Alps, even though the main story probably takes place in an Indian city. To the western eye, the transition between these scenes is abrupt and startling. To the Indian, no film is complete without good songs and dances. In other words, having a seamless plot is considered less important than making a strong visual and aural impact.
 Hollywood would love nothing more than to break into the vast and potentially lucrative Indian market, but their efforts have been in vain. Indian audiences just don't like American films. Now, having failed to sell their own films into India, most of the big Hollywood studios are investing in Bollywood-style films. These are shot in India in Hindi, using Indian actors, directors and crews. However, so far these, too, have enjoyed little success. This is perhaps less to do with cultural issues in the films themselves (after all they are, except for the funding, entirely Indian) than with issues relating to the Indian marketplace. The truth is that most Bollywood films don't make money either. In fact, Indian studios only succeed by producing many films and hoping that one or two of them become hits. Up until now, Hollywood has only dipped its toe into the water of Indian cinema. If it wants to succeed in the Indian box office, it will probably need to jump in.
 In the meantime, Hollywood and Bollywood will remain poles apart. As one Indian reviewer said of the serious Hollywood epic Ghandi about the life of Indian civil rights activist, Mahatma Ghandi, 'I thought the film was pretty good, actually, but it perhaps lacked a few song and dance numbers.'

ENDURANCE TESTS
 You're stressed and anxious, you have problems sleeping. What you need is a challenge. There has never been a better time, but which one to go for? Traditional marathons and triathlons are still popular but newer events have now appeared. They are held on difficult terrain and represent a greater challenge to participants. They are popular in the USA and are very competitive.
 The first long-distance triathlon was the Ironman. It started in Hawaii, on Waikiki beach, in the 1970s and there are now forty countries across the world which hold Ironman events. An Ironman is the hardest one-day endurance test in the world. Participants must complete a 3.86-km swim, a 180-km bike ride and run a whole marathon - and no stopping is allowed!
 The World Championships are held in Hawaii every year. The run in Hawaii is particularly difficult because you have to cross a desert!
 Other tough races include the Trans-Rockies. These are six separate contests which take place in different locations in the Rocky Mountains. You can do a twenty-four-hour bike race along Canada’s highest peaks - but don't try it if you suffer from vertigo! Alternatively, head for New Mexico, where there is a ride that lasts three days through the desert - just try cycling through sand dunes!
 As for the traditional marathon, you can still take part in the world’s biggest, in New York. However, if you really want to push yourself, try the World Marathon Challenge. This is seven marathons, in seven days, on seven different continents! It’s called The World Marathon Challenge for a reason! For many people, this is the challenge of a lifetime. Participants have to run 295 km, spend fifty-nine hours in the air and fly approximately 38,000 km from the Antarctic Circle to Sydney, Australia. All at your own risk!
