If you search for "2000 Bollywood movies" on the Internet Archive (archive.org), you’re not just finding old files. You are opening a time capsule of a nation on the brink of a digital and cultural revolution. The year 2000 was Bollywood’s awkward, glorious, and chaotic pivot point.

• Eros Now: Specifically focused on classic Bollywood.
