BOLLYWOOD!!!

Bollywood is a word that either refers to all the movies that are made in India, or it can refer to a specific genre of movies that qualify as "Bollywood" movies. Slumdog Millionaire can be a Bollywood movie as it was made in India however, it doesn't meet the requirements to be a pure and true "Bollywood Movie".

"The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest in the world." (Wikipedia 1).

I think from Slumdog Millionaire that we can expect a great deal more movies that are from Bollywood coming into the American theatres.
