Bollywood films ban to be defied
Distributors and cinema owners in north-east India have decided to defy a ban on screening of Bollywood films in the region.

The Eastern India Motion Pictures Association (EIMPA) said that more than 12 associations of distributors and cinema owners will defy the ban.
