Bollywood has done more harm to Muslims/Islam than any thing else.
I don't even know where to start from. They have normalized false belief, pagan practices, frivolised Islam, encouraged Shirk among Muslims.
This is more telling, because Muslim household are smitted by it
+
Bollywood has changed the heroes in Muslim household.
They have changed how the hero is to be how they look, how they dress, behave and act.
Muslim parents take pride in their children mimicking a hero or shaking a leg to their songs.
A hero names their son/daughter &
+
voila, it new born in Muslim families are named after them. Not that all the names are bad, but I'm focusing on why these names are kept. These young parents are themselves "fan" of Bollywood heroes. These heroes are their ideals/idols. (La haula Wala Quwata, illa billa)
+
Ring ceremony (there is nothing as elaborate engagement in Islam), marriage ceremonies, the Fahash in them is aped by Muslims in their own functions. Bollywood is writ all over. It has entered so much into a Muslim household that slowly hatred for Shirk and Kufr is liquidated,
+
& now Muslims have become apologetic about basic Aqeedah matters.
Muslim households know the name of almost every hero in Bollywood but name of 5 present day scholars are hard on them.
Azaan has as much respect as muting or lessening volume of their sets. At times not even

that. Have witnessed muezzins, imaams request the neighboring Muslim houses to "lower" volume of their sound systems, TV sets while fardh salaat is happening. Have seen fights over it.
This is something that has "invaded" our homes and weakened the heart. Tawakkul is now just
Lip service.
What is required from us?

I'll relate an incident.
In my kid's school, there was something problematic to tauheed that was being taught & the kids were being asked to memorize it.
I asked a scholar on the way forward, I was so perturbed that I asked him, if I
+
should withdraw my kids?
The scholar said, No, don't do that.
He gave me the following advise
1. Try to find a better school, see if there are some Muslim ones.
(I asked if I should Home school as there was none)
2. Home schooling is great, he said, but requires planning
+
extreme level of enthusiasm and focus. Not everyone's cup of tea.
(so it was ruled out)
3. He asked me to seek appointment with teacher/principal and explain why you don't want you ward to learn this concept.
4. Withdrawing kid is not a solution, because you lose a lot, your
+
kid might develop inferior complex later. Also more importantly, you cannot stop wrong from reaching your kid. It'll come through all others means, in visit to relatives, while venture out for shopping, etc. you can't stop, you have no control over external factors. So he said
+
5. Make your home, where you have control, your fortress against shaitan, against all kinds of wrongs, Fahash, evil... Let it be that, FORTRESS.

The 5th point here is what I wish to focus in the context of my thread. We have lost our homes to Bollywood culture.
We cannot stop
+
Our parents, our sibling, our spouse... from viewing them. This is alarming!
Sadly this is harder on Muslims than hitting streets in protest +++

It's time we slowly but surely, start working on our own with wisdom & good speech.
Concentric circle, that's how dawah is done
