My view on Bollywood:
A.) As an Indian, I am expected to see Bollywood films and love them.
B.) Many Bollywood movies
were good until the past few years where the same love theme has been tortured out of its misery and burnt alive.
C.) Movies like
Sholay (ooold school),
Lagan, and
Kal Ho Na Ho are left to represent Bollywood and India because they are good, and they are very good with British/European audiences, and are slowly growing among American audiences.
D.) 3 HOURS!!!!!! 3 WHOLE HOURS!!! That is the REQUIREMENT!! '
E.) Amita, Shahrukh, Ashwaria and Preity and others are why some people still see some of those movies.
The comment:
Only if you appreciate romance movies you would enjoy Bollywood (in its current state). For those of you that like sports, Lagaan was nominated for some best foreign film years ago. Honestly, I haven't seen a movie since Kal Ho Na Ho and my brother says I haven't missed anything so I'm not gonna waste my time. I'd rather Transformers.
Side Note:
If you would like to see a Bollywood film please consider seeing Lagaan ("Tax/Taxes") if you like sports or Kal Ho Na Ho ("Tomorrow May Or May Not Be") if you like romace/sad movies, or Sholay ("Flames") if you like action and humor.
