Producing far more movies and even drawing bigger audiences than its American cousin, Bollywood has been on the rise in Japan as well in recent years. The boom reached a new high with the 2009 comedy-drama 3 Idiots, which became the highest-grossing Indian film in Japan ever. In addition to that massive hit, this three-part program features the 2013 action-comedy blast Chennai Express and sci-fi blockbuster Krrish 3 (2013), giving viewers a hard-hitting introduction to mainstream Indian cinema.
Note that all films are shown with Japanese subtitles only.
