Bollywood's golden age in Australia's Greek community
: A poster, partly in Greek, for The Son of India
As Australia prepares for a visit from one of Bollywood's biggest actors Shahrukh Khan, Greek-Australian Peter Yiannoudes is looking back at another era of Bollywood cinema in Australia. Peter Yiannoudes imported films from Greece for Australia's Greek community and then expanded to include Indian films, mainly Bollywood features which played to packed houses of mainly Greek migrants in the 1950s and 1960s. He's now setting up a museum in Melbourne with some of his favourite movie posters from that era.
