## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Indian entertainment news specifically — Bollywood, regional Indian cinema, or India-focused OTT content — rather than general film/TV industry news from Western outlets like Variety or Deadline. It's the right choice when your user is asking about Hindi films, Indian actors, Indian streaming platforms, or South Asian entertainment culture. Prefer it over the general film/TV sibling endpoint when India-specific sourcing is required.
