Who the Bollywood pack suits

This pack is a favourite for Indian and South Asian families, college friends and anyone who grew up on Hindi cinema. It covers actors, directors, iconic films, singers and TV shows, plus a few South Indian superstars like Rajinikanth and Allu Arjun. Elders will love the classics, while younger players will recognise Pathaan, Jawan and Animal.

Sample rounds and clues

Shah Rukh Khan vs Salman Khan. "Khan" is the obvious shared clue. "Open arms" points to SRK, while "Bigg Boss host" points to Salman.
Sholay vs Deewaar. Both are seventies classics starring Amitabh Bachchan. "Amitabh" is a perfect neutral clue. "Gabbar" gives Sholay away.
Lata Mangeshkar vs Asha Bhosle. Legendary singing sisters. "Playback legend" fits both, which is exactly why this pair is so hard.

Other filmy pairs: 3 Idiots vs Munna Bhai MBBS, Bahubali vs RRR and Hera Pheri vs Welcome.

Making it easier or harder

If some players are not big film fans, use Classic mode. The imposter knows their role and may see a hint like "Khan superstar", which helps them keep up. In Undercover mode, the imposter quietly gets Kuch Kuch Hota Hai while everyone else describes Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, and the debate gets dramatic fast.

Pair Bollywood with the cricket pack for a very desi game night, or add custom words for your family's favourite films and songs.
