Many mainstream stars worked in low-budget or controversial films early in their careers or during periods of professional struggle.

The Indian film industry is globally renowned for its "Bollywood" blockbusters—films characterized by high production values, star-studded casts, and lavish musical numbers. However, existing in the shadow of this glitzy mainstream is a prolific, often misunderstood sub-genre: the B-grade film industry. Often dismissed by critics and ignored by the urban elite, this sector of cinema has its own stars, its own economy, and a dedicated fan base. To understand Indian cinema comprehensively, one must acknowledge the role and history of these lower-budget productions.
