Bollywood top xx year fundas

And I thought about how

1. It has become fashionable to have a profane word in a film title or a film song
eg: Kaminey, Pappu cant dance saala, man lafange, Lafange Parinde, etc

2. How diseases have been explored in last 5 years for film scripts
eg.: Khamoshi, Black, My name is Khan, Taare Zameen Par, Guzaarish, Lafange Parinde, etc.

4. How Hindi language is gaining momentum again through songs...
eg.: many egs but can't write the whole songs, but many of vishal bharadwaj, gulzar, prasoon doshi songs...
