Peruvian Bollywood fandom today has been mainly inspired by SRK…….First diplomatic relations between India and Peru were established in 1963, but in 2009 the Indian community in this country amounted merely to 150 families. Nevertheless, the history of Indian fil-viewing as well as the popularity of Indian songs and dances date back to the late 1970s. at this time, the circulation of Hindi cinema in Latin America and the Caribbean had been influenced by cultural exchange among partners of the Non-Aligned Movement …..
