Monsoon wedding and Bend it like baccon.😆. will be a good start. Then I will introduce DCH and JNMD.. type of urban youth culture. I will give then heavy dose of Indian culture like HAHK, DDLJ.. and then bring them back to dark side of Indian society with like Traffic signal or Chandni Bar or Kai po che.

Then bollywood extravegenza... K3g.. Devdas, HDDCS, D2..

Then once addicted to my poisons.. I will ask them 10 bucks each for the movies I will show them.

I have actually done that to gora freinds.. except the money part.. 😆

This is for Turks. Since we're originally Asian, we like to dive right into the bollywood extravegenza and heavy dose of Indian culture. 😆

But that's a great list/method!

There are many other good films like OMG and RDB etc. but I feel they require some awareness about India, its culture, practices and history to understand and appreciate them better. Period dramas, family drama, romance, comedy and to some extent masala films might work best for non-Indian audience.
