during the 1970s, commercial bollywood masala films drew from several foreign influences, including new hollywood, hong kong martial arts cinema, and italian exploitation films. following the success of bruce lee films such as "enter the dragon" in india, bollywood films starting with "deewaar" (1975) up until the 1990s often incorporated fight sequences inspired by 1970s martial arts films from hong kong cinema. rather than following the hollywood model, bollywood action scenes tended to follow the hong kong model, with an emphasis on acrobatics and stunts, and combined kung fu (as it was perceived by indians) with indian martial arts (particularly indian wrestling).
