Bollywood

'Dil To Pagal Hai' was huge when I was in India, many years ago. Had a catchy theme song, I recall.

The only Hindi films that I have enjoyed have been these - (am not gonna go into a tirade about Bollywood) - these films have appealed to me for different reasons... Amar Prem has beautiful music... Chupke Chupke is hysterically funny; Khamoshi, Goduli and Ankur are films that have not been popular with mainstream cinema audiences... but I found them interesting. Anand was a very touching film. All these films were made in the 70s.

Goduli

Ankur

Chupke Chupke

Anand

Amar Prem

Khamoshi

In addition to these... I have enjoyed some ancient films (due entirely to the music) so I shall add:

All films with KL Saigal

Anarkali

Music is something that sustains me - and the old Hindi films (pre-partition) had incredibly beautiful music. I don't like most of the post-partition music due to the predominance of shrieky mangeshkar's voice; though I have to admit in Anarkali she sang beautifully

That was my olive branch for the day

cool! Oh and many times, the desi grocery stores do have rentals.

There's more but I don't want to overload you!

I was hoping you'd pop by, because I think we talked about Bollywood once before...thanks for the suggestions...

I also saw Bride and Prejudice and liked it. To make myself seem extra cheesy I got really excited when I saw Gilmore Girls' "Rory" was in the movie too!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know she was in it before I saw it, but it would have been a selling point for me too!! I love Rory!

That was my olive branch for the day

Is Chupke Chupke different from Chori Chori Chupke Chupke?

I also didn't know she was in it before watching it. but when me and Suj were watching it...I saw Rory and I yelled "RORY!!???" and I startled Sujeet. I just wasn't expecting her in the movie at all. That made me like it even more that our own Rory was in it haha.

Thanks all you fine peeps....

Without going to a Desi grocer, so far I've got 5 of the movies on my Blockbuster list (even two of the older ones) you guys have recommended...

Y'all RAWK!!!

I don't know a lot about "bollywood" films but Lagaan I have to agree was great.

Got it on my list...

kal ho naa ho is a really good one (if you don't mind something a little sad....)

bunty aur babli is silly, but entertaining (the 'father/son' jokes between abishek and amitabh got old after a while, though)

hum tum is cute

Another tip is that only certain actors are in so many movies, that when watching...you may think "hey, this same couple was in the last movie".

In 2 of the movies I told you about, the same couple is in both even though the movies were made years apart....like how Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have been in movies together. Except it seems so many movies in Bollywood feature the same 2 or 3 actors...that part can be a little annoying.

The guy in nijusjaanu's avatar is one of the most famous actors and is in 2 of the movies I told you about.

I DID notice that actually...hehehe. That's ok...I got a bit of new and old, so it's mixed up a bit.

Try these (first two are old but I know they are on netflix)

Mother India

Sangam

Pinjar

Hum Tum

Kabhi Kabhi (different than Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Ghum)

I am sure I will think of more later!

If you want to watch a Bollywood-style film in English, 'The Guru' is extremely funny and it pays homage to Bollywood complete with singing-and-dancing-in-the-streets.

I started watching Bride and Prejudice on tv and DH came along and said 'what IS this #######?' and switched the channel... I'll have to keep an eye out for it showing up on Encore or more likely Sundance when he's not home to object
