I am from India, but I have been following IMDB for years but only for Hollywood. Kindly tell me how do I view the normal version, like USA, and not the Indian version. Otherwise I will have to look for else where!

I'm accessing IMDB from India but am not interested in Indian movies (whether upcoming or trailers or whatever) but I find no way to disable this feature. This is killing my experience and extremely irritating.

Thanks for raising your concerns. Currently, there is no way of filtering out Indian moviecontent from the IMDb India Homepage. The Indian movie and celebrity content iscomplementary to the comprehensive Hollywood content coverage that we've beenproviding for years. We are continuing to showcase relevant US movie contentand news on IMDb. To see Hollywood news only, you may click on the 'Hollywood'tab within the Latest News section on the homepage. We are always updatingcontent and features based on what resonates most with customers. We'llcontinue to keep an eye on the content that gets most engagement, and willaccordingly update the IMDb homepage.
Best,
Kurt

Recently, I am seeing multiple local language movies / actors (Hindi / Tamil) information being displayed on my IMDB front page. I would like to view only English movie listings as I do not follow any regional movies from my country. Can you please help me out

I have made a blog post here with step by step guide.

I agree with everyone here, that IMDb is not the best choice/option for Indian Movies/Content.
There are plenty of website doing these already. And, Frankly, Hardly any movies are good to be showcased as you do. If its for advertising then its a discussion.
Even on the homepage, I feel the balance is not right. Too much focus is placed on Local content.

Although I'm Indian and live in India, I have zero interest in Hindi/Tamil/Telugu/Kannada/Malayalam movies. Is there any way to turn these promos off, please?

Since last three days my IMDb page has been surrounded by topics like 'Trending Indian movies', 'Top 10 Indian movies', 'Amitabh Bachchan quiz' etc. If I wanted to get connected with Bollywood and get these topics I would've searched for them or better yet have had the option to choose for my customized country-based experience. But instead I get this slapped on "desi effect" which is annoying at the very least and off-putting the whole site experience otherwise. If IMDb doesn't change or modify this feature then my fav. site for anything and everything entertainment-related will get ruined for me and others like me who come to this site to get away from the annoying and nauseating Bollywood movies.

Why isn't Kaabil(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5460276/) on the Most Anticipated Indian Movies ?

How do I hide the new "India spotlight" sections of the IMDB website? I don't like Indian movies/TV at all and they're now in my face and impossible to ignore every time I visit the site. I tried changing my country in the account settings, but that didn't work.
