It was the usual cliched Bollywood plot: boy meets girl; girl ignores boy; boy follows his heart and girl into countryside; bandits attack girl; girl conjures Cthuhlu; spontaneous singing; Cthulhlu eats bandits, boy, and girl; ends with a dance number.

Finally I understand Bollywood. Thank you.

Yep, VanEck, you pretty much nailed it.
My own Bollywood spectacle of choice is Gunaam, a musical based on Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians, in which both dance spectaculars and dead bodies turn up with the same frequency. (I am not making this up. Seriously. Killer loose on a remote island. Lots of singing about love and being beautiful. And then, whoosh, another dead body.)
Useless trivia moment: The opening musical number of Gunaam, “Jaan Pehechaan Ho,” is the video that Enid Coleslaw is watching during the opening credits of Ghost World.

Excellent use of the Lovecraftian Deity Cthulhlu. I am keeping my tattered copy of the Necromonicon from you. :-)
