For the umpteenth time, even though we're living in the year 2015, where countless strides in cinema<\/a> have been made, somehow people still manage to come up to me and guffaw, \"Bollywood movies have the girl and guy dancing around coconut trees, right? So funny!\"\u00a0<\/em>First, no, not funny and no, Bollywood movies have long dropped that dance sequence - it's passe.<\/p>

Another point to note is that the Bollywood cinema genre majorly falls under semi-musicals and that's what they're known for so don't complain about the singing and dancing - it's a musical, what did you expect?<\/p>

However, the billion-dollar industry has also dipped its talented feet into Hollywood<\/a>. It may still not be the norm to see Bollywood actors crossing countries to appear in prominent Hollywood<\/a> flicks, other than brief cameos or poorly constructed characters, but that has not stopped filmmakers from creating independent works of art. And while some went horribly\u00a0downhill with cringe-inducing attempts at displaying the East meets West thematic, others surprised us with their thoughtful storylines and seamless character development.<\/p>

Typically, these films touch on inter-racial or arranged marriages, conflicting ideals of adapting to a Western culture while still staying grounded to one's\u00a0roots and even on racial stereotypes that plague children as they grow up in different environments.<\/p>

So while a part of Bollywood continues to churn out catchy musical numbers with a tinge of comedic flair, at least we can find solace in the other bit that has managed to seamlessly or so blend two different film worlds.<\/p>

And don't worry, most of these films are in English.<\/p>
