  5. “More proof that Bollywood is infinitely superior to Hollywood.”
    And here is more proof in just two words:
    Aishwarya Rai

    “More proof that Bollywood is infinitely superior to Hollywood.”
    Good post Kate, lots of laughs in this one but it does have a serious side.
    Good point JJM. True as well. I was reading the other day that Hollywood in the world market is being surpassed by Bollywood.
    Its not Anti Americanism as some aver. Its picture content.
    If I was an Hollywood executive I would be prudent asking some hard questions as too why this tend continues to grow.
    Do people around the world really want to see pictures of young female children rapped & called art?
    Why is there no more real romantic movies except formula flicks?
    Even without the special effects a movie that makes one love life, or laugh at it. Is much more preferable than cynicism & conspiracies, ending in mass murder.
    Which has become the usual fair of tinsel town. Besides that the Stars have fallen farther than Satan. Personnel lives out of control , they act more lie an aristocracy than actors.
    Finally what ever happened to innocence on the screen? Action movies without a cemetery of bodies?
    Hollywood better clean up its act or soon it will not have a venue. Capitalism will have sundered them with a better product. A more pro human view of life & people.
    I leave it to you. Which would you rather watch. A film steeped in existentialism & the hopeless morass of human kind? A movie with fun & affirming the best in human traits, with whimsical fun thrown in?
    Its interesting to note the most box office returns seem to be for movies about fantasy or real events Romance without sexual scandal. None formula pictures. Ones with a twist or morals. Of course the favorite seems to be the hero that overcomes all odds to make things right against impossible odds.
    Little of this in Hollywood these day’s. I guess that’s what happens when bankers & lawyers take over the arts.

  15. Paul McCartney should steal his ex-looney’s leg and beat everyone with it in that video.

  17. OMG – ROTFLMAO! One of my favourite movies is “Hollywood Bollywood”. The Shakespeare-quoting granny is hilarious. And the heroine’s meeting with her would-be suitor “Killer Khalsa”. What were her parents thinking! The dance scenes reminded me of the old Hollywood musicals where suddenly everyone would burst into song & dance. Pure escapism and lots of fun.

  19. Thanks Kate,
    This was reminiscent of the party scenes in all those really bad James Bond movies from the 60’s and 70’s. Nostalgia is wonderful sometimes.

  22. “We also create false promises”
    It seems like an odd lyric…
    Clearly this is one of those instances where the translator was just getting paid scale, and so did’t put much effort into translating everything, or with any detail.
    At any rate, I don’t know if this rivals the opening sequence to “Ghost World” but it has its appeal, esp the rather tactile charms of the curvy female dancer (love that clingy, shiny material her dress is made of)
