Bollywood movies can be great.
I watched 3 Idiots before I left SA - highly recommended!
Well done India :)

So Kristen and I went to watch a Bollywood movie yesterday... The Dirty Picture. We were told by friends that the movie was good, and not as dirty as the name implies.
Not recommended! It is simply a movie that reflects the decisions of a film industry to sacrifice the beauty of the Bollywood culture, for cheap thrills and explicit sexuality. The audience of 100 men were ecstatic. Kristen was the only female in the theatre. We were thoroughly disappointed. Kristen and I stayed for 20 minutes, and then left. It may have had a good ending, but they lost us before we had a chance to find out.
Shame India :(

In India we have had the pleasure of watching 2 movies on TV with the family we stayed with - really good. First was... (see below). It can be translated to: You only have one life to live. Really good production quality - and the content was wonderful. A rich, comic love story without having to resort to violence, sex and language!
Second was Namastey London - Kristen liked this one best!
Well done India :)

At least 2 out of 3 were worth your time. I have only walked out of one movie and that was Werewolves of London, a version in the late 80's. It was just too stupid to sit through.
ReplyDeleteHope you two have a very Merry Christmas.
