Bollywood Numerology
Some examples of Bollywood film names: Heyy Babyy, Singh is Kinng, Krazzy 4, Karzzzz, A Love Issshtory.
Notice the strange spellings? It's not just variant Indian spellings. It's numerology. Apparently Bollywood directors swear by it. From the Deccan Herald:
In other news, we've decided to change the name of Weird Universe to Weirrrdd Universe.

Names of films like ‘Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai’, ‘Zubeidaa’, ‘Kabkakkth Ishq’, ‘Kyaa Kool Hai Hum’ are all products of numerological calculations. Some of them have done good business...
The upcoming ‘Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam’, starring Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat, has recently been respelled after the director consulted a numerologist. Even a director like Ashutosh Gowariker added an extra ‘a’ in ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.

And just where do you think the "47" came from? You'd have to amputate a leg or two to get more moojjjo working for you that that!

Expat...nooooooooo.........argh....you got me!
Seriously though, numbers come rushing at me at lightening speed, bounce off my head, and take off in another direction. Nothing sticks, they just leave bruises.

This thread smacks of math. I'm leaving.

I wouldn't count on numerology too much. It just doesn't add up. It's not real, just imaginary.

MM, you're going to divide us again with your fractious attitude. And by the way, what is Bollywood?

Bollywood is the term used for the film industry in India.
