Bollywood is not the ONLY Indian industry.
Agree with the opinions here. I have no patience for majority of south Asian movies thanks to long drawn out melodrama (and don't get me started on the songs). My view is tainted since I was born in the US but I would still say Bollywood is pretty bad - could do a LOT better given the human capital at disposal.
One thing I would like to point out to Pakistani folks is that Bollywood is India but India is not Bollywood. Do realize there are other major industries out there and huge population segments that barely follow/care about Bollywood. I do see a bias in attention towards Bollywood from folks in Pakistan, which of course is justifiable given your language/ethnic proximity to the industry. Alluding that Bollywood represents the entirety of Indian film industry is factually incorrect and is myopic.
If you want a higher percentage of quality south Asian films from a sample set, try Malayalam (my favorite among Indian films, though I do not understand the language). Quality is far better and relatively more films are without songs. Granted, it could be tougher for Pakistanis to get into south Indian movies given the language factor, and of course the thread topic is about Bollywood.
