In the past ten years Bollywood has built a global audience bigger than Hollywood’s by updating its traditional themes and shabby production values to appeal to Indians abroad and the middle classes at home. Estimates of its box-office turnover range as high as $5 billion (£2.5 billion), up from $1.5 billion in 2004.
