So far we've met Shanaab Alam, Viveck Vaswani, Vivek Kajaria and Hansal Mehta.

We've watched The Lunchbox, Anybody Can Dance 2 and Fandry. One was in an Indian cinema and another was in the personal indoor office of the producer of Fandry.

All of these men have been incredible - they have inspired myself so much.

One thing that they said which really stuck with me was that unlike the Australian and European film industry, Bollywood recieves no funding of any sort. All of the films are produced through individual funds, or money given by friends and business partners.

Australia and Europe are able to gain funds, bursaries and loans in order to create their films.

I gained a new level of respect for Bollywood Producers and Directors. They put their all into the films they make. The few that we have met are perfect examples of this. They put funds into a film they believe so much in, and each of them has been a success.

The films need to make a profit so that they can take that profit to make their next film. These budgets can range anywhere from $350, 000 and upwards.

Viveck Vaswani drilled into us the 'hard truth' stating that the film in the end is all about the popcorn sold. This means that your film needs to appeal to the audience, needs to pull them in at the Box Office. With piracy being a major issue in the digital entertainment industry the Box Office is where the Producers and Directors make their money back on their films.

Being informed of the financial situations in Bollywood as a private sector versus the public sector of Australia and Europe was something else. I knew very little of it before, and now I'm even more grateful for the county I live in and have a newfound respect for the filmmakers of Bollywood that have created some incredible films.
