So what do you think of it?? I chanced upon Jaby Koay and saw most of his reviews but looking at his popularity many other foreigners have also begun doing the same.There are some 7 to 8 such channels doing Bwood trailer reviews and Indians are spamming their comments section for more. And its pretty obvious that most of these uploaders are doing this not out of love for Bollywood but to increase their views and subscriptions.
Isn't it a bit demeaning for us to constantly seek the validation of foreigners?? It feels like a vestige of our deep rooted colonial mindset where we still feel inferior to the whites or is it so popular because we want others to learn about our culture and see their response to it??

Jaby is fine but there are others who come off as so insensitive and pompous and it angers me to see Indians giving these people so much importance when their attitude reeks of disdain for our culture.

The Surfing Violinist is the best. I like watching their vlogs and genuine reviews of Hollywood and Bollywood movies.

So many Bollywood reaction channel has cropped up, that now it all looks fake. Fake reaction just to garner some views. It's really embarrassing seeing the Indians literally hounding them to review a movie. It's like they are begging for their approval.

Before Jaby Koay, it was Toma Puck who really started this trend I guess. But only Bollyfools(they were the only one who reviewed bollywood trailers before this trend caught up) and The Surfing Violinist seems genuine.

I actually like Jaby, i think he is genuinely interested in BW. In the short time that he started doing reactions he has gotten some very vast knowledge of BW. I watch his videos because i love his reactions and he is so funny.

I dont like the others. Bollyfools are good but they can be OTT sometimes.

though i agree what youre trying to say but think about this BW has gotten so big around the world that people want to spend their time reacting to our movies or talk about it.
Watching these foreigners talk about our movies and culture with respect shows how far our film industry has come. BW movies arent just some joke that the world use to think back in the days.

I came across Jaby Koay about a month ago - I love his reactions. He's a really cool guy. But I agree there are some American white dudes reacting just for likes and views and subs, and you can tell they are looking down on the films, it's awful.

Depends on the reactor,some are really genuine and watches the trailers with interest like Jaby Koay ,the surfing violinoist etc.But some are really doing it for likes and subscribes and they do'nt think very higly of bollywood either, that's embaraasing actually.Specially the way fans request movies franatically and the channels say not now we need time n all,🥱

Toma Puck seems so disinterested and rarely has anything meaningful to add...he could not even sit through a 3 minute long trailer of YJHD and went for a loo break in between😆

And for BM he just had a thumbs up for reaction and then such people are hounded by Indians. Atleast Jaby seems interested but many others are so condescending.

Bollyfools are desis so I am not counting them and I have yet to see Surfing Violinists.

Only i found jaby koay trailer reactions funny n entertaining...Rest bollyfools pesh entertainment The1st jake sounds too OTT and their videos doesn't look much entertaining...Actually it is hilarious to see their reactions without knowing the hindi language and most of the times they looks like W*F is happening in the trailer😆...They dont have the subtitle feature and most of the trailers got positive response from jaby koay...They usually get more views n comments for indian trailers in less time...We can call it as love for bollywood or publicity for their channel n also publicity for our films...😆Whatever it is they may work in the favour of film with this kind of videos in getting the enough exposure for indian films..
Nobody can stop those people who keeps on asking to review the trailers...😆It is better to ignore those comments😆

This was the reaction of jaby koay on fan trailer...I enjoyed the video..

Jaby actually reacts twice, first without subtitles then with subtitles, after watching wothout subtitles he guesses the story as much as he can then watches with subtitle to see how close he was to the story, and also because without subtitle reaction is more raw.
