Cover the full South Asian film ecosystem — Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, Malayalam, Bengali, Pakistani cinema — not just Hindi films
When a question points to a South Asian film but the specific industry is unclear, or when clues suggest a non-Bollywood regional film (Malayalam, Bengali, Tamil, Pakistani, Bangladeshi).
South Asian cinema spans many industries: Bollywood (Hindi), Tollywood (Telugu), Kollywood (Tamil), Mollywood (Malayalam), Dhallywood (Bengali/Bangladeshi), and Lollywood (Pakistani). Each has distinct actors, directors, and themes.
Identify regional clues: language hints, actor name styles, cultural references, geographic settings (island stories → Bengali, classical music → could be any). If the region is unclear, search broadly with "South Asian film" or "Indian cinema" before narrowing.
Once the region is identified, use industry-specific keywords (e.g., "Malayalam movie", "Pakistani cinema") for more targeted results.
