Hoo-ray for Bollywood

So there is a video rental store just around the corner from us that carries titles from Bollywood. And every time I pass by there, I think I should get a membership and check out some of the films.

I know there are at least a few people on my f-list who are into the genre, so can you recommend a good place to start? Particular directors or actors to look out for?

I mean how could I give up the chance to see more material like this?
