[[caption-width-right:350:'''Carmen:''' This case feels like something out of a Bollywood movie... but with fewer musical interludes!]]
Chief Ripley sends the Bureau to Bollywood Studios, Mumbai, India, to get some well-earned vacation time after their hard work in the country. Unfortunately, said vacation doesn't last long when Carmen and the player come across the body of actress Priya Joshi, beaten to death inside of a movie studio.
!!Tropes:
*AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase17HorsebackMountain Once again]], one is performed by Dupont just when Carmen is begging for him to not be called.
-->'''Elliot:''' The bad news is that when I turned it on, everything was written in Hindi. So, unfortunately, I had to call in-
-->'''Carmen:''' Oh, no-
-->'''Dupont:''' I am delighted I could be of help, young Elliot!
*BigBrotherInstinct: Despite only being cousins with her, Vikram was asked by Priya's parents to look after her, since Bollywood is a corrupt place and very dangerous for young women. {{Subverted}} when we find out he's the killer.
*BigDamnReunion: Lars and Angela get reunited with their daughters after Lars makes them fly to India, with the girls deciding to stick along with the Bureau for the time being.
*BludgeonedToDeath: The victim was killed by being repeatedly hit in the head with dandiya sticks.
*BuffySpeak: When you find a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katar_(dagger) Katar]] inside of the victim's bag, Carmen calls it a "weird knife thing", something Jonah remarks.
-->'''Jonah:''' This "weird knife thing"? You've always been good with technical terms, Carmen.
*CallBack: [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase19BadMedicine Arsha Raju, Sanjay Korrapati]], and [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase20TreacherousWaters Sandeep Sadhra]] reappear as suspects.
*CaptainObvious: When Sanjay tries to sell you a bottle of neem oil by claiming it's good for anti-aging since he doesn't have any wrinkles, Carmen says that might be because he's 13.
*CastingCouch: Gurvinder made Priya sleep with him if she wanted to be in one of his movies, something that Carmen finds disgusting, specially since she got pregnant by the whole ordeal.
*DressingAsTheEnemy: {{Downplayed}} since Om Padmasana isn't actually an enemy of the Bureau, but Jack dresses as the guru to convince Lars to not leave the Bureau to follow a spiritual path, which actually ends up working despite Lars seeing through the disguise.
*EscapedAnimalRampage: Mid-investigation, an elephant escapes from the Bollywood studios with some evidence, wrecking havoc in its path and forcing Carmen and the player to follow it all the way to Bangladesh.
*FamilyHonor: Vikram, Priya's cousin, killed her after she became "corrupted by Bollywood", claiming that becoming a diva, sleeping with the director, and getting pregnant were disrupting the family's honor and she needed to be stopped.
*{{Fanboy}}: Sandeep was one of the victim, admiring how she chose to ride on his tuk-tuk instead of a fancy limo despite being a growing Bollywood star.
*FeudEpisode: Lars and Jack get one during the Additional Investigation, due to Lars refusing to stop following Om Padmasana and becoming brainwashed with his teachings.
*FieryCoverup: According to Angela, the reason why the victim was covered in neem oil was because the killer intended to burn her body, but didn't manage to do so due to being interrupted.
*FilmiMusic: One of the killer's traits is that they listen to Bollywood music.
*ForgottenFirstMeeting: In just a few weeks, Arsha has already forgotten who Carmen or the player are.
-->'''Carmen:''' Ms Raju, we're from the Bureau. We met in New Delhi, remember?
-->'''Arsha:''' ...No. What do you want? Make it quick.
*FriendToAllChildren: Dupont claims to be good with children, which is why he accompanies you to talk with Sanjay when he requests your help during the Additional Investigation.
*FullNameUltimatum: Carmen angrily calls Lars by his full-name after he starts lecturing her about spiritual enlightenment instead of giving you the analysis results.
-->'''Carmen:''' LARS REGINALD DOUGLAS, tell <Player's Name> what you found, or so help me, I'll slap you into next week!
*GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Priya refused to get an abortion after she got pregnant with the director's child, which infuriated him.
*IJustWantToBeLoved: Sanjay tells you he wants to become a Bollywood star so people will appreciate him more instead of discriminating him for being a StreetUrchin.
*MySecretPregnancy: Priya tried to hide her pregnancy due to fearing what her family would do if they found out, which turns out to be justified when we discover Vikram killed her for this reason.
*NotListeningToMeAreYou: Due to Lars being distracted with Om Padmasana's book after starting to follow his teachings, Carmen and the player have to insist so he gets to talk to them.
*PetTheDog: Despite her status as a RichBitch, Arsha is probably the only person to treat Dupont with respect on-screen, sincerely thanking him for fixing her dress, gifting him a signed photo of her, and even inviting him to a charity cricket gala.
*PrimaDonnaDirector: Gurvinder Chowdhury, the film director whose film was being starred by the victim, is shown to be an egoistical {{Jerkass}} who only cares about his film and not his leading actress' life getting cut short.
-->'''Gurvinder:''' We're already over budget and behind schedule! I can't believe Priya would let herself get murdered in the middle of filming. It's just so unprofessional!
*PulledFromYourDayOff: The Bureau stumbles into another murder during their vacation in Bollywood.
-->'''Angela:''' I thought the reason we came here was to give the team a break, <Player's Name>?
*RichBitch: The victim could actually give Arsha a run for her money in this aspect, as she treated everyone below her like crap for no reason other than a superiority complex. Examples include refusing to pay Sandeep after he drove her all day around in his tuk-tuk and calling Sanjay, an orphan kid, a street rat after basically stealing his money.
*SameSexTriplets: The Douglas Triples are all female.
*ShoutOut:
** The victim, Priya Joshi, resembles Creator/PriyankaChopra.
** Vikram Joshi resembles Shakti Kapoor, who played a character named Vikram in ''All Rounder''.
*SkewedPriorities:
**Gurvinder is more concerned about how Priya's death will delay the film production than the fact that she died.
**There's also Sanjay, who seems more interested in selling you a keychain with the victim's face than mourning about her death despite claiming that he wants to be a star like her.
*SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When Jack dresses up as Om Padmasana to stop Lars from going crazy, Lars realizes who it is because Jack is the only one who calls him "dude."
*StickyFingers: Sanjay stole the victim's bag after she refused to give him an autographed photo that he paid for.
*TurnToReligion: Continuing from [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase21PlaguedByDeath the previous case]], Lars has turned to Om Padmasana, his book, and his spiritual teachings after almost dying due to the virus, which is why he's too distracted to perform analyses and decides to bring his daughters along the Bureau's travels so they and Angela can become followers too.
*WhoWritesThisCrap: Carmen and Dupont have this reaction after you find a movie script, where Arsha's character asks Priya's is she murdered her goldfish Fluffy. As it turns out, Priya modified the script to make fun of Arsha.
