Can Bollywood Help Transform Nollywood? by Seun(m): 12:10pm On Aug 06, 2008
In October, a delegation from India’s film fraternity plans a trip to Lagos, Nigeria, to forge closer links. The Indians hope to tap a new overseas market for their movies, while the Nigerians are trying to better organize their production houses and gain more technical expertise, as they look to evolve along the lines of India’s fledgling studio system.

“This is a real chance for Bollywood to play a major role in shaping the Nigerian industry,” says Mohal Kaul, director general of CBC, a membership of Commonwealth nations that promotes trade and investment. “Nigeria has realized that as far as the quality of films and professional knowledge goes, they need to improve on that.”

What's your take on the above news? Does Nollywood have anything to learn from Bollywood about film-making, or are our constraints more economic than technical? Will Nigerian filmmakers improve when they interact with Indian filmmakers?

definitely, i believe nigerian filmakers will learn a lot from their counterparts at bollywood.

they produce clean(visually) films, though i can't say much about their storylines, i dont think they are as bad as what we have presently in nollywood.
