Marketing Lessons From Bollywood

Watching movies on a Sunday with my 10-year-old is my #SundayDoneRight. And watching two back to back hindi movies with amazing and gripping scripts is "sone par suhaga" (read: icing on the cake). And, and being able to write something about it makes for a super productive Easter Sunday.

Bollywood, the Indian film industry, is known for its glitz, glamour, and larger-than-life characters. However, there are several marketing lessons that businesses can learn from Bollywood:
