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.

Since I grew up watching Bollywood movies I know them pretty well although i have stopped watching the recent films. I agree that Lagan was very good especially for a Bollywood movie. There are obvious good movies that come out every so often but I must say that from what I have seen before most Bollywood movies have a reoccurring theme and sometimes plot. This gets boring after a while
