They're terrible - terribly entertaining. Oh man, how did I get myself
into this, but, I am starting to like the Indian Hindi-Movies. Anyone
else?

If you havent seen any, and enjoy foreign films, I recommend "Veer Zara"
[helps if you're somewhat familiar with India/Pakistan's rivalry - but
not too important]. Its a good story, well produced, and of course fully
Bollywood [requisite Marriges, Rain Song, Macho Man, and large
assemblies of dance segments that have nothing to do with the story]

Anyway, I just saw "Guru" last night. My roommate (indian guy) insists
its "all original, based on a true story". Maybe so, but, hmmm it sure
felt like Ayn Rands "Fountainhead".

nope! always lookin!

the bollywood movies are very tacky, yet very cool. I just so happen to
love hindi music, although the men's voices are alot more pleasing to my
ears then the females. I love the sound of the situar and the percussion
the sounds like a magnified rain drop kind of......lol

No Bollywood for me. I prefer American produced movies. Was
FOUNTAINHEAD ever made into a movie. I had to teach it one year, so I
thought it would be a good idea to read it first. Dang, 2 pages of plot
followed by 50 pages of sermons on individualism. Nope, I would have
fallen asleep during the first five minutes of the film. THE SOUND AND
THE FURY was made into a film also. I was scared to death to watch it
just in case it was like the book.

Oh and let's not forget the Fighting Dragons movie that won an Oscar a
few years back. Sword fights while flying through the trees? Oh, come
on. English subtitles? That's hard work.

They,re cheap knock off,s usually with dopey scripts, and talentless
actors, generally not worth the free admission.

I have NO IDEA what you all are talking about lol

Crappy, low budget movies !

Eww why would anyone enjoy crap?

Ask the guy that started this thread !

"Crappy low budget talentless movies"

Did you mean Hollywood? Bollywood? European films - lets face it, doesnt
matter where you're from, most films are crappy. The Bollywood films are
not usually "knock-offs", they've got their own thing and styleand they
are very DIFFERENT in style.

They're usually big budget spectaculars. At least the ones that make it
to the States. (There happens to be a hindi-theatre near me, so thats
how I've gotten to liking them, an 'aquired taste' for sure).
