How BollyAI works
How a verdict is built, and what it refuses to fake
BollyAI reads verified metadata, trade estimates, and OTT signals through human-edited gates before it publishes a word. The method is the product; the refusals are the moat.

Five steps from raw signal to a signed answer
Every external value is stored with its source, fetch time, and a confidence label (verified or reported). Titles and people are keyed on Wikidata QIDs, never guessed.
BollyMeter reads what critics and audiences actually reported to land a /10 craft score with a grounded one-line basis. If reception is too thin to ground, the score is left null rather than invented.
Two independent same-metric readings within 10 percent render the lower figure as a trade estimate. Ten to twenty-five percent apart shows the lower figure with a caveat. Wider, or single-source, stays in tracking.
First-person viewing claims, invented OTT view counts, and unattributed quotes are blocked by build gates. A violation does not get softened; it breaks the build.
Aditya Sharma edits and signs every verdict. The drafting is disclosed AI; the judgement, the source checks, and the byline are human.
Subtitles are fuel, not cargo
Subtitles and scripts are read to ground the work, the ending explainers, the recaps, the episode guides, so an explanation is anchored to what actually happens on screen rather than to a guess. They are never served back as text. A line of dialogue appears only as a short quote, under twenty-five words, with a citation, in service of the analysis. The fuel stays in the engine; only the verdict comes out.
The honesty rules are gates, not promises
BollyAI has not watched anything. It writes in the third person about what critics and audiences reported, with citations.
Indian platforms do not publish per-title viewership, so BollyAI never fabricates one. Unverifiable means omitted.
Box-office figures and OTT dates carry their sources and confidence labels in the open, so you can see the uncertainty.
Pull quotes name a real source and URL and stay short. If a quote cannot be verified, it does not appear.
