Films can be divided into two categories: blockbuster films with large budgets or independent productions. Blockbuster films can cost hundreds and millions of dollars to make and distribute. These movies are often made by large studios that want their films to reach as many people as possible. However, these films with big budgets appeal mostly to older viewers.
Independent films are generally smaller-scale productions that may be financed by individuals or groups of investors. These films are often targeted at niche markets and appeal to particular tastes. They are generally less costly to produce and market. However, this doesn't mean that they're always cheaper to watch. It is actually very difficult to find most indie movies.
We need both types? Is it necessary to have both blockbuster and independent movies? Hollywood is much bigger than Bollywood. Hollywood produces more movies than India every year.
