What do you think about Bollywood?

Indian Movies

They're garbage, awful, horrendous movies and I don't see how almost a billion people can be into them. I mean, I've met plenty of Indians before who came to America, and some even here in South Korea, and they seem like pretty normal people. But then, you have that UTTER SHITE that is Bollywood musical numbers. I know Hollywood makes a lot of garbage, but most Bollywood movies are unwatchable, to me. I mean, Lagaan was already for a goddamn 7 hour movie. Nothing against India as a whole, though.

*Lagaan was alright

[Asker]

Wow... even I listened a lot of bollywood songs, still didn't find the song you mentioned...
But yeah, I would like to tell you that this could be 2000s song, which also Indian people don't now ( even not then)

[Asker]

There are lot of garbage movies... that's TRUE, but all movies are garbage?
Can you tell me any single industry in world with 100% superhit/hit movies?

[Asker]

Lagaan (meaning-agricultural rent) is almost 3.30 hours movie and can be boring for those, who doesn't like cricket.
Although, I suggest that you should watch some good movies '3idiots', 'Scam1992' to watch.

I dated an Indian girl. (Almost six feet tall and thick, too.) She was more "Western" than most, and still liked Bollywood movies. I saw this one movie called "Student of the Year" with her family and they all loved it. It was the longest two hours of my life. There's another one, this Indian version of The Avengers it looks like, and that was god-awful, too.

In general, the entire Bollywood "formula" (horrible dance numbers, horrible songs, ridiculous plots, etc) is very unappealing to me. I wasn't joking when I said I can't understand how anyone likes that crap.

And the movie clip is called "Chance Pe Dance." I watched it. 🤢

Everyone have different perspective. For what you found boring can be interesting for others, as how they relate themselves to the movie.

Thanks for sharing your opinion

Nepotism and also under rated some movies and songs are noless than any Oscar winning movie. Takent is there but the nice actors don't get opportunities.

[Agape93]

Boring with eh actors but some pretty actresses. Bad acting, bland stories and full of cultural quirks others may not understand unless they’re from that area

[Asker]

Yeah... Most of bollywood movies' stories related to ground reality, so it will not easy to others to relate themselves with it.

[Agape93]

Even then it’s just overall badly done in my opinion. Like student films with a big budget.

[Asker]

Students film?
Did you watch '3idiots'?

[Agape93]

Correct and nope never heard of it

[Asker]

That's it🤷‍♂️
Although, thanks for sharing opinion 🙂

[ibodi]
