Isn't amitabh half Punjabi ?

Not much to do with Sharifs. Punjabis and Punjabi cities have rich culture. You can see that in both Pakistan and India.

I think on his mother's side.

India does have several linguistic based Film Industries, so stories from a Tamil, Telugu Marathi, Keralite and Gujarati perspectives can be told.

What Bollywood does is sell a fantasy based cinema, and in no way should be cnsidered art. while I do listen to the occasional song, watch the occasional film, I watch Malayalam films as I am a Keralite. So I can watch movies that reflect anxieties that uniquely represent a Malayali's problems.

You are not going to see a Muslim or a Christian much in a Bollywood film. But since both groups make up 45% of Kerala's population they can't be ignored in our state
