# South Asian Film Industry Coverage

## When to use
When a question points to a South Asian film but the specific industry is unclear, or when clues suggest a non-Bollywood regional film (Malayalam, Bengali, Tamil, Pakistani, Bangladeshi).

## Technique
South Asian cinema spans many industries: Bollywood (Hindi), Tollywood (Telugu), Kollywood (Tamil), Mollywood (Malayalam), Dhallywood (Bengali/Bangladeshi), and Lollywood (Pakistani). Each has distinct actors, directors, and themes.

Identify regional clues: language hints, actor name styles, cultural references, geographic settings (island stories → Bengali, classical music → could be any). If the region is unclear, search broadly with "South Asian film" or "Indian cinema" before narrowing.

Once the region is identified, use industry-specific keywords (e.g., "Malayalam movie", "Pakistani cinema") for more targeted results.

## Query Templates
- `[regional industry] movie [plot keywords] [era]`
- `Malayalam film [year] [plot detail]`
- `Pakistani cinema [actor characteristic] [era]`

## Worked Examples

### Example
- Question: 2008-2011 film titled after an island, story of a servant and fisherman's daughter
- Search: `movie servant fisherman daughter island title`
- Result: Bengali film Monpura — would have been missed if searching only "Bollywood"
- Why it worked: Kept the search region-agnostic, letting distinctive plot keywords find the Bengali film

## Anti-pattern
- **Defaulting to "Bollywood movie" for all South Asian films**: This misses Pakistani, Malayalam, Bengali, and Tamil cinema entirely. Use broader terms or identify the specific regional industry first.
