How it differs
Hangman starts on the Mixed deck, which draws from Bollywood, Hollywood, places, animals and food. The Bollywood deck uses only Hindi film titles, which are often long multi-word phrases. In player mode it becomes the backup deck if a picker runs out of time.
Questions
Which films are in Bollywood hangman?
More than 70 well-known Hindi films, from Sholay and Mughal E Azam to Dangal, Jawan and Pathaan.
Why are some titles written differently?
The keyboard is A to Z, so titles use letters and spaces only. Punctuation is dropped, so you'll see Chak De India and Mughal E Azam.
Are long film titles worth more?
They can be. A correct solve scores 3 plus one point for every letter still hidden, so cracking a long title early pays well.
Can we set our own Bollywood titles?
Yes. Switch to player mode and take turns typing a secret title. The Bollywood deck stays as the backup if someone runs out of time.
