In honor of the 60 minutes piece on Aishwarya Rai, I`ve decided the film catagory needs a Bollywood thread.
There`s just something about it. Sure it`s missing a lot of the rawness that`s become so popular in most of American cinema, but somewhere between the decently well scripted plots, interesting music, and on the whole beautiful actresses, I`ve become quite a fan.

hot chicks are nice, but singing/dancing in movies is not. if I wanted to be a fag I'd go see a broadway.
Now Bombay is called Mumbai.
So, why is not Bollywood called Mullywood ?

And Priyanka is not Puriyanka.

most people dont get Bollywood movies casue they dont understand indian culture that much. the songs in the movies are a tetesment to our culture and color as a people. most people dont watch hollywood musicals of the early year in the 40 and 50s. bollywood makes more money than hollywood cause it has mass appeal.

I think Bollywood flicks are pretty entertaining. They're colorful, lively and the music's catchy but one thing puzzles me. A friend once explained to me that they aren't "musicals" in the sense that the songs go along with the plot. Instead it's like the story grinds to a halt so everybody can burst into song and then it's back to business as usual. Confirm/deny?

LOL INDIA MAKES THE MOST MOVIES OF ANY COUNTRY PER YEAR
AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME MOVIE
SOME CRAZY GUY WITH A FUNKY MOUSTACHE SINGING AND DANCING MAKING CICKEN PECK MOTIONS WITH HIS HEAD AND FLAILING HIS ARMS AROUND
SOMETIMES THERES A CRAZY CHICK MAKING CHICKENPECKING HEADMOTIONS AND FLAILING HER ARMS ALSO
AND THEY DO CHICKENFLAILING AT EACHOTHER, NOT REALLY WITH EACHOTHER... ITS SOME KIND OF INDIAN MATING DANCE THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE 4THOUSAND MOVIES PER YEAR ABOUT
You know what's worse than bollywood films? mexican films. they're all about some woman getting raped and/or kidnapped and then there's two or three guys in cowboy hats with machine guns.

Amores Peros (or something like that) was a damn good Mexican movie, it was almost *classic*... that's how damn good it was. But I imagine that's an exception to the rule.
There's a cable channel here that shows Bollywood movies every Saturday - they are, as 25 said, completely pointless. The only intriguing one I've seen is this weird ultra-low-budget movie about some half naked chubby guy defying a half naked chubby god, at some palace temple thing but then the daughter of the god married the first dude and then I got lost.

I just like East Asian/European movies better than bollywood for some reason, mass appeal doesn't necessarily mean it's a good movie.

Of course, art house flicks that no one has ever heard of are the only real movies, right?

monsoon wedding is the best movie, but i am unsure if it counts as a bollywood film. it does however deal with an indian wedding..
