I learned something new. I didn't realize that Disney owned a studio/media/entertainment conglomerate in India.
I've been streaming some Bollywood movies on Netflix, and one of them (Kai Po Che) during the credits I noticed references to Disney UTV studios. So I looked it up on the internet. The company started as a privately held entity in 1990, went public in 1998, and was fully acquired by Disney in 2011. Disney first contracted with the company to dub its movies into the Indian languages in 1996.
I just found that interesting. Some of the movies are pretty good, of course you have to read the English subtitles. Movies are LONG though. I've found most Indian movies are 2 to 3 hours in length, some are longer than that.
