Why do films made in developing nations switch languages so often?

One thing I've noticed while watching Indian cinema is that the dialogue in the films will switch from Tamil or Hindi to Indian fairly often throughout the film, often with a few lines here or there being said in English. In these cases, it often sounds like the English line is in English to emphasise it, but if that's the case, why is English an emphasising language? How does that happen?

Outside India, other countries' films do this as well. The South African film, Tsotsi, for instance, switches between Xhosa, Zulu, Afrikaans, and English, with the characters speaking all of them at different times. Why is there so much language switching? Are conversations in these countries naturally so multi-lingual, or does this exist only in film? If it does exist solely in film, why?

You're confusing "developing nations" for "multilingual nations". Films from monolingual developing nations won't be making the switches. The switching is a characteristic of the country's language environment and not of their degree economic development. You'll find that North Korean cinema is not making such language switches, nor was old Korean cinema before they were considered fully developed.

~~Also what language is "Indian"?~~
