Bollywood is the abbreviation of Bollywood Studios, located in the Mumbai Film Base in India, representing some of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is one of the world's largest film production bases with hundreds of millions of viewers. Bollywood movies are usually music. There are scenes of singing and dancing in almost all films. Indian audiences expect their spending to be worthwhile, and the performers of the film are often referred to as "paisa vasool", meaning "the value of money." Singing and dancing, love triangles, comedy and super-sports thrilling scenes: mixed together in a three-hour, intimate performance with a curtain break. These films are called "masala" films and are named after the word "masala" in Hindi for mixed spices. Like "masala" spices, these films are really a mixture of things. |

Unfortunately, there is no way to make Chrome direct requests for a hostname to a specific IP without a standard redirect - you could set up a smart HTTP proxy, but it's often not possible or not convenient. This extension settles for a sub-obtimal approach: requests to the indicated hostnames are redirected to the chosen IPs with an additional Host header. The browser's address bar reflects this behaviour showing the hostname right after the IP (e.g. http://127.0.0.1/www.example.com/). The extension also tries to take care of all requests to either the IP or the hostname in a consistent way. Issues After the redirect, the user is effectively in a different domain that the one they expected. They may notice some functional differences:
