Definitions
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.
The multistarrer had three of the biggest names in Bollywood and still somehow failed at the box office.

The standard British English term for what Americans call a 'movie star' — a famous, glamorous actor or actress known primarily for their work in cinema. While 'movie star' dominates in American culture, 'film star' remains the go-to phrasing across the UK and much of the Commonwealth. The term carries the same connotations of wealth, fame, and larger-than-life charisma, often used both literally and ironically to describe someone dressing or acting well above their station.
