No, never. I dont care.
Why in the fuck would I. If I could think of an appropriate punishment in hell it would be getting strapped down and forced to watch Bollywood movies on a loop.
I've watched 2 old ones when in Albania that I liked. The Bollywood ones I have watched a few min here and there but nothing I could watch the entire movie.

in all honesty, their entire movies and songs are absolutely and utterly disgusting crap
I hate musicals to begin with so Bollywood is ultimate torture. If I was locked in a room and forced to watch Bollywood for 24 hours straight, I would try to kill myself at some point.
I loathe musicals as it is. Given that's largely what they export, I don't chance giving them a watch. There's a fandom in this country though, bet on it, but I'm not there with them.
Their songs and movies are garbage
Not much into movies now but whenever I go for , it is usually Bollywood . And almost always , its offbeat sort (or as it was once called , the Parallel cinema) over the mainstream one (or as it is called out , masala cinema) . Both these cinemas usually have their own ensemble set of directors , actors eg. all the A-lister stars like Hritik , Aishwarya , Priyanka , Shahrukh etc. belong to masala cinema . Though due to their melodramatic/farcical nature , these masala movies are indigestible to me as opposed to parallel cinema which is tilted towards realism or as they say "big screen is mirror of society"
Spoiler!
However not every flick is as per my liking on various accounts like from plain neo-feminism/liberal propaganda to simply mediocre direction . Also , there are genres where I can prefer others too eg. Hollywood for sci-fi/horror (though quit it after Annabelle , stale,ran its course or may be just....I am over this genre) . Or Punjabi cinema for comedy (but it is only suited for a Punjabi as the humor lies in Punjabi jargon itself)
