The power of Bollywood is huge in Arab countries and it has quite an impact on the Middle East region. Nearly all the movies that are released in India are released there as well, including Telugu and other regional flicks. It is no secret that Bollywood has succeeded in building ties with Arab countries, much better than two decades ago.
