The Story Behind Filmi Trivia
Filmi Trivia is more than just a Bollywood-themed card game—it’s a celebration of South Asian culture, nostalgia, and the joy of coming together. Designed for desi family game nights, Bollywood movie lovers, and multi-generational gatherings, it brings a filmi twist to traditional trivia fun.
Born from countless memories of watching Bollywood movies and a desire to stay connected during the pandemic, Filmi Trivia was created to unite generations of South Asians around the world—through laughter, competition, and shared cultural memories.
How It All Began
In 2020, during the height of the global pandemic, our founder Sami was looking for ways to stay connected with friends and family while everyone was stuck at home. Every Friday night, she hosted a virtual trivia night called “Ladies Night: Bollywood Trivia”, where sisters, aunties, and close friends came together to laugh, compete, and relive the magic of Bollywood cinema.
Sami spent her weeks curating clever trivia questions and fun categories, inspired by decades of Bollywood films, iconic songs, and classic dialogues. These weekly gatherings became a lifeline—something everyone looked forward to, even during the most uncertain times.
Then one night, she thought: “Why isn’t this a real game yet?”
A Desi Childhood, Reimagined as a Game
Growing up in the 90s with immigrant parents, Bollywood wasn’t just entertainment—it was the soundtrack to South Asian life abroad. From cassette tapes at the local Indian grocery store to grainy VHS copies of the latest hits, watching Bollywood movies was a family ritual for so many in the diaspora. Realizing there were no trivia games that reflected this shared experience, Sami - along with her best friend and husband - decided to create one. After months of writing questions and testing with friends, they launched a successful Kickstarter campaign. In November 2022, Filmi Trivia officially became available for retail.
A Love Letter to the Diaspora
Filmi Trivia is a love letter to desi childhoods, to aunties who love SRK, and to cousins who know every hook step from "Chaiyya Chaiyya." It’s a tribute to the stories, stars, and songs that gave us a lifetime of memories.
With over 250 unique trivia cards across categories like Music, Movie Stars, Plot Lines, and Muqabla, the game is perfect for:
- Desi parties
- Bollywood-themed game nights
- Diwali gatherings
- Multigenerational family bonding
