If you want to introduce Bollywood to an international audience, then it would be best to start with a Hindi movie that has won (or been nominated for) international awards, such as:

Do Bigha Zameen (1953)
Mother India (1957)
Shatranj Ke Khilari (1977)
Salaam Bombay (1988)
Fire (1996)
Earth (1998)
Lagaan (2001)
Monsoon Wedding (2001)
Water (2005)
Rang De Basanti (2006)
Chak De India (2007)

Another great introduction would be Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Although it's technically a British production, it is very much a 'Westernized' Bollywood movie, so I would also recommend the following Hindi movies it was clearly inspired by:

Deewaar (1975)
Salaam Bombay (1988)
Satya (1998)
Company (2002)
Black Friday (2004)
Taare Zameen Par (2007)
