NRIs-Their potrayal in Bollywood movies .

We all know that a lot of Bollywood movies now a days have their characterss based in US or UK or some other country.

Often these characters are shown to be westernised with no respect for elders basically lacking in our indian culture and values.

What do the NRIs think about this?

Do you think that the Bollywood movies potray us the way we really are or is it an exaggeration?

I know that we Indians living outside India make a conscious effort to preserve our culture and pass it on to the next generation.I make sure that my kids touch the feet and say namaste to all the elders in the family because that is the part of my culture and the place where I come from and I am sure the other Indians also do make an effort to teach their kids what their culture is.

For example the way Kareena Kapoor's character in KKKG was ,do u think it was a correct potrayal of an Indian girl living in UK?

Want to know the views of u guys especially NRIs.😊

See its easier to break than to make, in this case traditional values... most NRI's realize they still can survive if the just throw away all traditional values... so its easier to accept western values and put down indian tradition whereas in india, even in adversity or westernization a large percentage of people uphold these values so these isolated nri's become butt of all humor... regarding Kareena in KKKG its way too much exaggerated... and hardly realistic...😊

Since I'm not a NRI I won't give my views. 😛 😉 This part just reminded me of a review that I read of K3G by one of the users of IMDb. I'm quoting a part of it:

"...The films weaknesses (and there are many) start off first of all with the odiously conceited Kareena Kapoor, who in spite of the costume designer's self-proclaimed "sophisticated" wardrobe looks and acts like a cheap tramp throughout the film (note to Bollywood costume designers: in England and America the only women who dress in skin-tight cleavage-revealing sequined mini-dresses when they go to the mall are PRO*****TES. Get it right!).....

.....The third weakness (and Hrithik/Kareena fans will disagree) was all the disco look-at-Hrithik's-muscles look-at-Kareena-shake-her-butt dances. I fast forwarded them after a few minutes. Tasteless and boring, IMO. Hrithik is not a bad actor, he is more than just a bulging-biceped pretty boy, but you'd never know it from these scenes. Also, again, the fact that all the NRI women in the film are dressed like h**kers is just WRONG...." - dmul53

Ani excellent topic. My 2 cents and personal experience.

Kareena's characher in K3G was of a few Typical Uppar Class Rich airhead of Indian Origin not of an NRI. No Offense meant😳
