Why are Hindi movies so popular?

• Cross country marriages has caused a hike in the interest level towards knowing the Indian culture and watching Indian movies as many Indians are getting married to Americans.
• If not marriage, at least staying and working together with so many Indians has played a major role in developing the interest towards Hindi movies which has resulted in a longer queue at the ticket counter for a Hindi movie or a longer list of people who buy Hindi movie DVD.
• Indians are more Indians when they are out of India and that is one reason that possibly the person who would never watch a Bollywood movie in India otherwise, would not mind spending a few dollars to buy Hindi movie DVDs as that would help them stay in contact with the mother tongue language and trace their roots back home.
