Hindi and Bollywood Cinema

This child group of South Asian Cinema collects that broader group's members whose own description names Hindi language or Bollywood, the mainstream commercial Mumbai-centered Hindi-language film industry that dominates this subcategory's current South Asian membership. It is kept apart from this parent group's other three children purely by language/industry, the axis this atlas's data most reliably supports for Indian cinema; at 105 of the parent group's 136 members it is itself a few members over the subcategory-level hundred-member guideline, left as one leaf group this pass because the available release-year data is incomplete and too skewed toward the 2010s to cleanly support a further era split, flagged for a follow-on pass.
