On contrary , in their language

"Drama bazi" is referred as a Indian movie , used in negative sense, normally use term "Filim Hindi"

Example:

• The team conceeded 5 goals in 3 minutes , a story like an Indian movies(Filim Hindi)
  
• Stop your crying and complaining and this Indian movies (Filim Hindi)
• I was shocked to see such bad scenes, almost like an Indian Movie (Filim Hindi)
• He is always late, every day a new Indian Movie (Filim Hindi)

People living in Middle east may be familiar with the term "Flim Hindi"

Indian songs are mostly written in Urdu, poetry and that does not translates well into Arabic language so , the meaning is lost is translations.

Some folks watch the movies however generally folks watch Egyptian Movies as the humor and stories relate to the general Arab

Most modern Arabic movies do not have songs in them but in their old cinema they used to have songs integrated which is still quite popular in general crowd

I think in countries like UAE there are more indian construction workers than the natives, so maybe that's one factor.

nope . pakistan does have the max number of searches for donkey sex, rape, camel rape etc just do a search. btw just because rape is a crime in india that receives a lot of national outcry and publicity does not make it a "rape capital".

 

[Room]

don't worry about these morons who have lol' lywood as their film industry.
First of all th8is question is an oxymoron in itself.
Actually it is more famous than Hollywood.
Just to let you know Arabs are making a Bollywood theme Park along with Hollywood. So that answer's your question.

per capita rape is higher in pakistan and so are other crimes. Also, Pakistani has to prove with 3 witness that she was raped and even if it is proved that she was raped, she is the one who is blamed. hence not many cases are reported in pakistan.
