Nobody in the West has ever been as cool as the lead dancers in a Bollywood musical number.Disney+ needs more Bollywood.

I wonder this: Even in a Bollywood action movie or a Bollywood drama movie, do they always have a musical number or two?

I’m going to say this about Sony Pictures films and shows (at least those that are rated G to PG-13) coming to Disney+ later this year: I know that users like MisterPenguin and Disney Irish will disagree with me on this, but I feel that Disney will have to give up 20th Century Studios and 20th Television (despite that they are already integrated; Disney could split the film and TV assets with the 20th side separated in order to make a sale possible), because I think they shouldn’t have both films and shows from Sony and 20th on D+, as it could be too much for them to handle. They have to pick one or the other.

Yep, its a staple of most Bollywood movies.

So other streaming services handle all sorts of content from many sources, for example Netflix has been doing it for many years now. So why do you feel that Disney can't with D+ and it'll be too much for them?

Ok, well I think it'll be ok and D+ will be able to handle all sorts of content from many sources with no real issues.

Exactly. It's not like Disney+ is going for a family audience only catalog anymore. I wonder if they should though.

Nah, that ship sailed fairly shortly after launch. D+ should have content for the whole family which includes content for older demographics.
There's plenty of adult and serious content on Hulu. Outside the U.S., Disney+ subscribers see it in the Star tile within D+. And eventually, those of us in the U.S. will see it withing D+, too, when Disney is forced to buy out Hulu.
The Bob's are on record as being for adult content. They (and I) were amazed to find that 60% of D+ subscribers are from households with no children. And those households would like to see more adult content.
So, they've been publicly committed to "4 Quadrant" content (male, female, children, adults).

Last year, Disney made the decision to move their popular show to its digital platform. The show received a two-year pickup at the same time.

That this happened as the writers went on strike can't be a coincidence, can it?
Nah, it's part of the pivot away from driving up subs to simply being more profitable.
Being on ABC brings in ad dollars. It only makes fiscal sense to have it on broadcast *and* streaming.
The extreme version of this is seen with MAX in which direct-to-streaming movies has been declared dead. Theatrical release comes first to wring the most profit out of content.
