Bollywood/Hollywood is a 2002 film by
Indo-Canadian director
Deepa Mehta. Its stars
Rahul Khanna and
Lisa Ray in leading roles. The film was lighthearted, humorous, and family-oriented, as opposed to Mehta's other films (most notably her
Elements trilogy of
Fire,
Earth, and
Water), which feature very serious themes and focus on social issues. The film pokes fun at traditional Indian
stereotypes, as well as at
Bollywood (it features several Bollywood-style song-and-dance numbers). Bollywood actor
Akshaye Khanna (the brother of Rahul Khanna) makes a special guest appearance in the movie.
