Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
People who are sincere Da’ees face great challenges in inviting people to Deen. In doing so, they confront challenges with whatever they sincerely feel is the most effective way in overcoming the challenges. This is termed as wisdom. Allah Ta’ala says:
أُدْعُ إِلَى سَبِيْلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِيْ هِيَ أَحْسَن
“Invite people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good counsel. And argue with them in the best of manners”
It is possible that they may err in adopting the correct method in overcoming these challenges. Therefore, Da’ees are advised to make istighfaar after making Da’wah.
It is obvious that a sincere Da’ee would know that Bollywood films are haraam. His intention of discussing the films is not the films itself, it is to destroy the inclination of such films in his addressee by winning over his confidence and instilling in him the consciousness of Allah Ta’ala, death and life after death through which he would resent the films.
The Fuqaha have ruled that while intoxicants are haraam and impure, one may hold them with the intention of destroying them.  The holding of the intoxicants by a non-alcoholic and sincere person should be contexualised and not judged in isolation. 
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنِّ فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيْث
“Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is the most false form of talk”
