Bollywood

I find it hard to keep track of my obsessions. One day I will actually try to track them, but for now, I just want to discuss my recent obsession: Bollywood! I got into Bollywood movies a couple months ago, and since then I've watched at least a dozen of them. And since they average 3 hours each, that's a lot of movie-watching. The Bollywoods I watch are mostly romantic comedies, and a few action flicks. They are emotional roller coasters... I've cried so much just watching these movies and I can't get enough of 'em.

Breaking it down!

Favorite actor: Shahrukh Khan
Favorite actress: Kajol
Favorite movie: impossible to pick one!

List of great movies:
Dilwale Dulhania La Jayenge
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
Heyy Babyy
Om Santi Om
Paheli
Chak De India
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

These are just ones I've watched 'recently' and love love love them. But I'm sure there's more I've yet to see, or some I'm forgetting at this moment.


Now, for a few beautiful stills! They're not the best quality but you can get the sense of the movie.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi:

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam:

Om Shanti Om:
Paheli:

Even if you find the stories cheesy or too lovey, the music is also frickin' amazing. The soundtracks can easily stand on their own as works of art. I love to listen to them all day, because there's nothing like them.

Now I just need to learn Hindi so I can stop worrying about finding subtitles for these fabulous movies!
