Hindi films, TV soap operas a necessity amongst Bhutanese
Bhutan's capital may have just one cinema that screens only Bhutanese language films all year round but Bollywood has been able to make its charisma in the country, through VCDs and DVDs of its movies that are simply available.
The Himalayan country has only seven cinemas.
In most Bhutanese homes, life comes to a fester in the evening as housewives allocate over three hours watching television serials in Indian channels that are authorized to be aired in the country.
