More often than not, these movies consist of things like a hatke issue, western-styled music, stylish clothing, and lots of white back-up dancers.
I know my post already has managed to develop a negative tinge >.< but that is only because I am an NRI, and when I see movies that try so desperately to cater to an Indian who doesn't live in India, it makes me, strictly IMO, feel very embarrassed. Yes, I am an NRI, so yeah, I have seen some things, heard of issues that aren't much popular in India, or that's what I guess.
I watch Bolly movies because I like feeling reconnected to my own country. I like watching the actors, the stereotypical Bollywood aspects, the surprising aspects which aren't stereotypical. As an NRI, I don't need to watch extra-marital affairs or an excessively exercised lust trip to be entertained, and to be reminded of "how my country is maturing."
To me, movies that have such an agenda embarrass me. Again, STRICTLY my opinion.
I wanted to know some of your views, because I know there are tons of NRIs in this forum. And I wanted to know the views of non-NRIs as well.... what do you guys think about such movies?
NOTE: Before anyone suggests or insinuates, I have been a KJO fan for my life. But yes, some of his movies embarrass me, but again, I AM NOT TRYING TO BASH HIM via this post.
