Alrite...let us analyse both aspects of Cinema then...i seriously feel Malluwood produces classier movies than this two.

Kollywood
Kollywood movies focus on entertaining the audience rather than making movies from the soul. Most of their movies are romantic or sentimental potboilers with the occasional masala film in the midst. Usually Kollywood has some sort of patter in which it follows the formula of a predecessor film. After the introduction of Aaru as a gangster film and having moderate success more films ensued in the same manner with pattiyal, pudhupettai, chithiram pesuthadi to name a few. This was also illustrated after vikraman's family sentimental potboilers were followed through by similar stories like anandam...punnagai desam. However Kollywood has some of the best technician like PC Sriram, Arvind Krishna as cinematographers...AR Rahman and IR in music, VT Vijayan in editing to name a few. The good thing about Kollywood is it has a mix of both offbeat films and mass entertainers be it romantic action or comedy and their offbeat films are totally original with a extra focus on human relationships which was started by K Balachander.

Bollywood
Bollywood films used to be quite similar to kollywood with a slight differentiation in the presentation. After their close association towards hollywood they changed their image completely where they started producing films with innovative storylines and gave more focus on glamour just like hollywood. Offbeat films are more on the rise with provoked and water being some of the films that have evoked interest in the circles. However some of these films bear a very similar resemblance to hollywood style of filmmaking which greatly reduces the originality aspect.
