Now that Bollywood (Bombay-plus-Hollywood--an affectionate nickname for India's terrifyingly productive film industry) has finally gone mainstream in the West (Bride and Prejudice, Monsoon Wedding), many American listeners are curious to know more about the genre's extremely busy soundtrack singers. Club-goers are already primed by Bhangra nights, but for the uninitiated, the high-pitched female voices, loosey-goosey chorales, and wild-and-wooly instrumentals may take some getting used to. However, anyone willing to make the effort will be quickly rewarded. This compilation is a great place to start as it is well-produced and fairly typical of the genre at its best. Among the male singers, Kishore Kumar is well accounted for. Of the big female names, Lata Mangeshkar is represented but her even-more-famous sister, Asha Bhosle, is not. But Chitra, who sounds like an Indian Dolly Parton, almost makes up for her absence. Anyone who wants to know still more about this most flagrantly hedonistic of musical styles is directed to the exhaustively annotated Rough Guide To Bollywood and Manteca's delightful I Love Bollywood. --Christina Roden

I love all music. I especially love music that makes me want to get up and dance. Bollywood takes me from want to shake my groove to the introspective relaxed mode

I fell in love with Bhangra, so I ventured over to Bollywood for a similar flavor. Bollywood has a much different feel than does Bhangra. The beats and musical arrangement are more similar to Western culture than are Bhangra, so I was pleased with the presentation, but found that I am much more of a Bhangra fan. I enjoy travelling musically away from Western sounds. Bollywood lacks the hard dohl beat of Bhangra, but does hang on to the cultural echos of India. I do enjoy my Bollywood album, but I still favor my Bhangra favorites. If you haven't tried Bhangra and you do enjoy Bollywood, try Bhangra's Punjab collection. You won't be disappointed.

I am a fan of Indian music, and this cd offered fun singalong songs. They are very catchy and pretty. All the songs are my personal favorites. This music is not the same, to me, as the music of Ravi Shankar and other more traditional Indian artists. These songs have more of a western structure, with the 4/4 beats and the verse/chorus pattern. I recommend this cd to anybody looking for the 'typical', romanticized Indian sound that they might have heard here in the West.

Everyone knows the best thing about Bollywood is the music. This is a fun collection across time of some popular songs. I like most of the older songs the best, but there are a couple of exceptions. This is a really broad selections that soungs best with the volume turned up. Feel free to sing along (um...its probably for the best that I don't speak hindi anyway).Standout songs: Laila o laila, wada na tod, badi mushkil, pyar do pyar lo, hay maine
