Why does bollywood (hindi cinema) call itself

[pandu]

the biggest indudustry if Hollywood really has larger audience? I am a canadian and Ive seen hindi cinema and they are boring with every movie about love. The actors cry too much which is not present in the other indian industries like telugu and tamil, which are better and have a variety of themes like hollywood. Seriously havent they heard of action, thrillers, etc. Hindi cinema plagarizes too much from our hollywood movies and other industries within india.Last I checked there were more people able to speak english (billions) than speak hindi (millions).

Bollywood produces more films annually than Hollywood,that is why they're the biggest film industry. And consider subtitles--Indian films are shown in Nepal, China, Sri Lanka, Bangaladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, France, Russia, etc. South Indian films are less known because they are produced in local dialects, and the backing for them is less popular.And yes, Bollywood has many thrillers and action movies, you just need to look for them. Problem is, you're in Canada, and I'm guessing you're not Indian, so you wouldn't know where to look for all the films.

I know, bollywood probably calls itself the biggest industry because it makes the most movies yearly, and i know telugu and tamil movies are much better.
