Bollywood.....

I love it how Bollywood as i typed on my computer was underlined by a red squiggly line. It wants to correct it to Hollywood. Why is only Hollywood a dictionary term!, Why not Bollywood. I understand it has been taken from america and changed slightly....but we deserve it!! America has taken our scientists, doctors, engineers.........taxi drivers........gas station attendants etc.. we just took the name....and slightly changed it......Bollywood. I know the first thing that comes to everyones mind is, 'Oh...Its the movies in which people with dots on their foreheads dance in the background, while some cheesy and lame actor leads them. Well....YOUR WRONG........thats South Indian movies. Bollywood is North Indian. Never get this wrong.....especially in india...Or someone gonna get hurt real bad..:).

My Preteen and Teen years heavily revolved around movies. For the most part, English Movies. I really enjoyed them. Though I still watched Hindi Movies(Bollywood). Hollywood came out with better movies, The story line, Special effects etc. Bollywood at that time was still learning that india didn't only consist of Parents..and...Old people. So the movies they came out with were not original, they were not realistic and all the actors were really old men portraying 22 year old guys!!.But Its all part of the process.

Moving on a few years, Present Day Bollywood has changed in amazing ways. The dancing and singing is still there( which along with most indians, I love), but the originality, the filming, the editing, EVERYTHING has changed. It has gotten much better. Until this summer, Any movie on my top 5 list was an english movie. Inception being at the top. But then, I saw this Bollywood Movie called 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. I WAS BLOWN OUT OF MY MIND! I walked out of the theatre thinking to myself, WOW......Bollywood did that! HA..TAKE THAT HOLLYWOOD!!!

The title literally translates to 'You're Never Gonna Have Life Again'. This is now my top favorite movie. Once released on DVD, I shall try and get a hold of it. Then we can have an Indian Night!!!....and watch it.. perhaps even do a cheesy old style bollywood dance!!!.....

Fun fact- One of the main actors in this movie, Graduated from my high school. She is seven years older than me. Also, she is not Indian. She's French. :)
