Films, Movies are a part of everyone’s life! Be it watching Avengers or Dhoom, there are certain that connected to the viewers and stayed with them even after it’s release. These are the characters, slang, or even a haircut for that matter, that makes it’s viewers follow the film’s or character’s footsteps.

Listing down below are few films that were a trend in itself:

Films trend –

1 – Dil Chahta Hai:

This film should be blamed for creating a Goa as an ultimate youth hub and parents restricted zone. From the friendship to emoting a matured love story, everything was perfect. But, what struck the chord with youth like us was their road trip to Goa. Which now is on every friend’s wish list to fulfill. Such is the power of film to its audience.

2 – Tere Naam:

The name Salman Khan in itself is enough to start a trend around the world. This took half of the nation cringing to this hair style and the rest half belonged to the ones, who themselves had one! And his ardent followers were going berserk. Above that the title song ‘Tere Naam’ were the most popular amongst every lover boy. Adding to the clichedness.

3 – Dhoom:

This film’s success led on to making sequels after sequels. Giving the birth to the craze for the Hayabusa bikes. But sadly not all trends end up being a happy one. As two youths passed away hitting a pole, trying to master the stunts in the film. Hence, film cautions should be taken seriously like we take it’s trend!

4 – Om Shanti Om:

Shahrukh Khan’s physique and his washboard abs earned him praises from all around the film fraternity. And thus giving birth to the legacy of ‘6 pack abs’. He went into hardcore training for months to get into this toned physicality which later on was well grasped by the audience, following the superstars footsteps.

5 – Ghajini:

Ghajini smashed all the box-office records after its release. With the applaudable performance of Mr. perfectionist Aamir Khan, also came into existence was his unique haircut and the word ‘short term memory loss’. Even this trend was short-lived, it surely did hella caught the audience eye.

6 – Dil Dhadakne Do:

Blame it or not, this film just made most of us go on a cruise trip with our family. From exploring different cities and countries, and exploring the relationship within this film summed it all in together. Making us feel jealous of going on trip like Mehra’s and exploring the world through cruising.

7 – Padman:

Akshay Kumar starrer Padman became the talk of the Tinseltown since the movie trailer. Movie based on a real-life hero Arunachalam Muruganathan garnered the support of Bollywood Biggies posing with sanitary pads and creating a ruckus in the social media.

8 – Mughal-e-azam:

Yes, you heard it right. Although this movie is decades old, its trend saw a rise in early 2000’s with salwar kameez pattern named ‘Anarkali’ dress. There used to be a time, when you would end encountering all the gals in a wedding ballroom probably wearing same patterned dress!

This films just reminds all of us that its influence is not just within its scripted boundaries, but way ahead than a creative mind can imagine. Every inspired film, leaves behind a flock of aspirers!

Bollywood or TV industry is not only about glamorous actresses ruling the charts.

With the growth in the industry, more and more talented individuals are required to run the show and bring in their talented creative energies to make beautiful cinema and TV shows. Hence, the requirement for girls is increasing day by day not only in front of the camera, but behind it as well.

Let’s share with you the top 5 Jobs In Bollywood that girls can pursue, which will get them not only good money, but lot of respect as well.

1) Editor

This might sound bit difficult and technical, but in reality many women are making their mark in this male-dominated field when it comes to film editing. A course from FTII can help you gain the basic knowledge and even an entry in a good production house as an assistant to learn the ropes of the trade.

2) Writer

TV is offering loads of work to talented writers who are ready to work harder than their wildest imagination. In return, you can expect to earn hell lot of money, not to mention the respect that writers command unlike earlier days when writers used to be treated like an unwanted baggage!

3) Creative Head

A TV show requires someone who can co-ordinate different departments like scripting, production, designing, logistics, casting etc. Women are known to be expert at multitasking and that’s the reason we see so many young girls working as creative heads in best of the production houses. Of course, one has to work their way up the ladder starting from scratch, but it is a respectable, well-paying, but a very hectic job profile! Who said hectic is not fun, right?

4) Executive Producer (EP)

It is a job similar to creative head, but the essence lies in executing the plans of the producer in the field (read on the set). One can be a freelance EP or join a production house on a salary basis. Either ways, one need to know the basic of film-TV show making and that can only be learnt through practical experience. If you have done some film-making course, it might help, otherwise, assisting an experienced hand can always go a long way to help you make your career.

5) Dress Designer/Makeup Artist

Who better than women to guide and decide your look in a show? That’s why female dress designers are highly in demand while the make-up department that was earlier dominated by only men is now opening its doors for more and more women!

This is a good time to be a part of glamour world even without being an actress. If you have talent and skill set, you can make your mark in this industry without having to let go of your dignity or respect!
