Bollywood - Bollywood (Hindi: ???????, Urdu: ???? ??) is the informal term popularly used for Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry in India. Bollywood is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is one of the largest film producers in the world, producing more than 1,000 films a year, with ticket sales of 3.6 billion.

Tollywood - Telugu Cinema refers to the Telugu film industry. The Telugu cinema industry is referred by some as Tollywood; the origins of that name are disputed, but it is generally considered a portmanteau of "Telugu" and "Hollywood".

Kollywood - Tamil Film Industry is home to Tamil-language cinema based in India and is sometimes referred to as Kollywood (Tamil : ???????? kolivu?). The name, Kollywood, has derived from Kodambakkam, the area in Chennai (formerly Madras), where Kollywood films are largely produced. Tamil language movies are also filmed in Sri Lanka.

Malayalam - Malayalam cinema refers to films made in the Indian state of Kerala in the Malayalam language. It forms a significant component of Indian cinema. Malayalam cinema remains the most popular medium of entertainment of the people of Kerala. The most successful movies at the box office are often remade in other Indian languages.

Kannada - The Cinema of Karnataka encompasses movies made in the Indian state of Karnataka. Most of the movies are made in the Kannada language, with a handful of them in Konkani or Tulu. Kannada films form an important component of the Cinema of India.

Where can I hear this shit?
Geet Bazaar, Sundays from 10am to noon on WKNC 88.1FM - http://www.wknc.org/music/music.php?id=24

Ok ok, looks hilarious. Where can I SEE this shit?
Every week Galaxy Cinema gets in a new movie from East. These movies are all over three hours long with intermissions. They all feature huge dance sequences. They all feature ridiculous action sequences. The best ones aren't even advertised on the website. They're unsubtitled, exclusive releases that are in one of the more exotic dialects (everything but Bollywood). These are the ones with the really ridiculous action and dance sequences. If you manage to get to a popular first showing, the crowd will shout and holler at the screen and throw confetti everywhere.

Here's one that showed recently that garnered such reaction: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nc3D3XZF9AA

It's fun to watch the popular movies with huge crowds. People will shout at certain parts and whenever the star comes on screen confetti is thrown from everywhere. Last one I actually watched was Sivaji The Boss with Rajinikanth.

It's also weird how many of the big Hindi movies will steal scripts and entire plots from English speaking movies. Fool N' Final was a direct rip of Snatch.

I want to update this. The song is "Kalluri Vaanil" and it's from Pennin Manathai Thottu. I was right. It was a Tamil movie.
