Multistarrer is an Indian film industry term (used in Bollywood and other regional film industries) for a movie featuring several major stars in significant roles simultaneously. The star system in Indian cinema is intensely commercial, and a multistarrer is a specific high-budget genre bet — assembling multiple top names to maximise audience appeal. The term is used enthusiastically in Indian entertainment journalism and fan culture, with 'multistarrer' almost functioning as a genre label implying scale and spectacle.
