Musical Film
Musical film is a film genre in which songs by the Character (arts), characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing. The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film's characters, but in some cases, they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate "production numbers". The musical film was a natural development of the musical theater, stage musical after the emergence of sound film technology.

In a sense, the viewer becomes the diegesis, diegetic audience, as the performer looks directly into the camera and performs to it.

List Of Highest-grossing Indian Films In Overseas Markets
Indian films have been released in overseas markets since the latter half of the 1940s. Few of these have had significant commercial success. Target audience for Indian films in overseas markets has been mostly limited to the Indian diaspora. Due to this, the overseas gross of Indian films is often insignificant compared to the domestic gross. The first Indian film to have a worldwide release was from 1952 ('' Aan'', directed by Mehboob Khan). In the 1950s, Indian films saw success in a handful of regions. At the time, the most significant market for Indian films was the Soviet Union, gaining considerable success and occasionally leading to Indian-Soviet co-productions. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Indian film industry also expanded in China and East Africa, which, after the Soviet Union, accounted for some of the largest shares of overseas revenues. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the most significant market has been the South Asian diaspora. China, India's geog ...
