Does anyone remember those mostly-Japanese monster movies from the 1960s? Monsters would emerge from the sea on a regular basis to terrorize Tokyo. Godzilla was the best-known. Another was "The X From Outer Space". Fortunately there was a good monster, Ultraman, to defend Tokyo. Ultraman was like the Japanese version of Superman.
"Bollywood" is so-called because it is the Indian version of Hollywood, based in Bombay (Mumbai). Bollywood movies are famous for everyone stopping periodically and singing in Hindi. But this is preferable to Hollywood movies where everyone stops periodically and shoots each other.
I cannot see that Bollywood has gone in the direction of monster movies yet. What about the Statue of Unity, in Gujarat? It is the tallest statue in the world.

Now that India is the most populous country in the world, those who resent India's success manage to implant an AI device in the statue that causes it to come to life and go on a destructive rampage across the country.
But the people gather before the statue and sing in Hindi. This causes the statue to remember who it is and what it stands for. It then turns and destroys those who tried to turn it against it's own country.
