Bollywood is known to make waves all across the world, and China is no exception. With leaders of India and China meeting to solve larger issues including border disputes, there is a way found by the Chinese President that can diminish the differences between the two countries - films.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has seen a number of Indian films, including Hindi and regional, and believes it would be a good idea that Bollywood movies come to China and vice-versa.

Modi and Xi were seen enjoying an instrumental rendition of 1982 Bollywood superhit song 'Tu, tu hai wahi dil ne jise apna kaha,' from movie 'Yeh Vaada Raha' by Chinese artists here on Friday, reported PTI.
Xi had told Modi last year that he had watched Bollywood star Amir Khan's 'Dangal' movie and liked it. 'Dangal' was a super hit in China and broke several records in the Chinese movie industry and raked in over Rs 1,100 crore.
