Check by Artist, or Composer. For example, RD Burman or Kishore Kumar, or Pritam / Amit Trivedi That is faster IMHO.Last I checked they did nit have anything specific to bollywood.

I tried Tidal (US) account for couple of months but cancelled it mainly because of limited MQA albums. Also heard that amazon has already launched HD version of prime music in US.. so hoping of a release in India in near future. I guess prime music HD would be a better integration in a stereo system and hell lot cheaper than Tidal.
Thnx. I also subscribed today using info from this thread. Was able to login into cxn v2 using old app. Stream magic app login do not complete for me.
Yes it does have lots of Indian music collections but as Nikhil pointed out you need to search with proper keywords. And its search engine is pathetic and they need to learn from Spotify or even Gaana or Saavn.
If you use Tidal Desktop app to access Tidal then you will get Master quality aunthincate (MQA) version of albums which are certainly sounds better than HiFi FLAC version. Desktop Tidal app itself decode MQA and send data to Integreated amplifier/AV receiver.
I should have clarified.. not much of MQA albums for Bollywood (data as of last year February time frame).. so if in case someone is inclined towards more of regional music, though they would have access to the regional album, they might not necessarily MQA. So in terms of VFM folks would be better off with Spotify/Prime Music.Tons of Bollywood on TIDAL. You just need to search for it.
Here are some albums from new to golden oldies.

For high quality Bollywood I don't think there is a better source online.

When you say limited MQA albums, do you mean limited MQA versions of Indian albums? That’s true. Most of the Indian albums are in FLAC which is actually a better format (my preference over MQA even when both versions are available) if your DAC is not MQA enabled. As for Prime Music, I doubt there HD quality will be even comparable to tidal FLAC - they may at the most catch up with the resolution and quality gap with Apple Music and Spotify Premium. For sure Amazon’s Prime Music (as well as Prime Movies) is a great VFM option, but is perhaps the poorest sound (or picture in case of Movies) quality wise in comparison with other options.
Try again. It works perfectly for me with my CXN V2. More stable and better UI (though far from what it needs to be) than the old app (CA Connect). Or write to the Cambridge support for help. They are responsive. Or PM me and we could do a telephone call and attempt solving it.
True. But it seems the Indian music library depends on which country you are subscribed from. I see a huge Indian collection in the US subscription. Those subscribing from Turkey seem to say that they don’t find much Indian content in theirs.
Not quite. Tidal MQA has three folds, of which only the first is unfolded by the Tidal desktop app. The rest two can only be decoded by a MQA enables DAC/streamer (check if your Marantz AVR’s DAC is). What you are otherwise listening is not the true MQA quality. I don’t have MQA enabled DAC in my CXN V2 streamer. And I much rather prefer the quality of the FLAC (Hifi) version than the incompletely unfolded MQA version. The former sounds much more organic and nuanced/textured sound to me.
Thanks for informing... just subscribed todayTidal is offering 4 months of its higher-quality music service for just $4

That's not $4 a month — it's $4. Period. For its Premium or HiFi services.flip.it
I tried multiple times to open an account but its blocked. An auto message pops up that it is not available here !Hi,
On a similar note, has anyone tried Qobuz in India?
What has been the experience thus far?
to create an account - is a VPN required? does it then work for regular listening without a VPN?
sound quality vs Tidal Hifi (i.e. if you compare 44.1/16 of the same recording, on both services)
You need to use a vpn to create an account. Thereafter you may login without vpn. Try Hola vpn extension in Chrome or app in your phone.I tried multiple times to open an account but its blocked. An auto message pops up that it is not available here !
I selected USA in Hola and tried Qobuz but the same message pops up saying its not available.You need to use a vpn to create an account. Thereafter you may login without vpn. Try Hola vpn extension in Chrome or app in your phone.
Try a European country. The service is French in originI selected USA in Hola and tried Qobuz but the same message pops up saying its not available.
Is paid subscription needed for VPN to work? I'm unable to get the VPN work on my phone.You need to use a vpn to create an account. Thereafter you may login without vpn. Try Hola vpn extension in Chrome or app in your phone.
Then i guess the offer is over.I selected USA in Hola and tried Qobuz but the same message pops up saying its not available.
Did you use the Tidal login created using US VPN? First I tried my european login for the same page, I got the same message as you got, Then I restarted from "Claim Offer" and used my US login. It worked with my credit card though not with PayPal. Try using credit card instead.I tried with US vpn and started a free trial using paypal. When clicked on claim offer in https://try.tidal.com/spring it redirects to the login page with a message saying that offer is no longer valid.
@sunand777 Did you try something different to get it?
