Who else loves masala films like me?? - Page 2

Oh yeah and Singham was a good watch. With masala films we can, well I can, watch them over and over and not get bored.

I honestly couldn't get passed the first 5 mins of Lootera.

I love the genre. Some of the BW masala movies are done very good.👍🏼

I thought masala meant romance. ( Sorry I grew up in Australia so I am not familiar with this lingo ).

Anyways. To be honest I loved them when I was younger but as I grew up I started to hate them. Same being said I can not watch these very serious movies like Ek VIllian, Highway, Lootera. I need to have a break with a comedy movie

I can watch serious films, e.g Highway and EV may be serious but they do have entertainment value added to it. I love films like EV etc.

A film like Lootera is too boring IMO.

I love masala movies too but some of them are really bad like Himmatwala 😆

Art cinema etc may get you critical acclaim from half a dozen of people but it doesn't get the cash registers ringing!

Films are mainly made for entertainment and nothing else


I think that's quite a parochial way of viewing things and segregating films. I find some "art movies" just as entertaining as the masala movies. I enjoyed watching Andaz Apna Apna Hera Pheri just as much as I enjoyed watching Lootera and Dhobi Ghat. It should be left up to individual people as to what they consider entertaining. I find all genres entertaining if they resonate with me.

I'm not saying that everyone should find Dhobi Ghat etc boring. I'm just voicing my opinion. I didn't mean to generalise at all. Masala films are essentially more entertaining for the majority of the public, hence why they make so much money when compared to an art film.

One cannot love Bollywood and turn up their nose at masala movies. One cannot like Salman Khan and turn up their nose at masala movies. As both these criteria apply to me, though I do make a big stink about acting, the truth is I enjoy masala movies too. I grew up on them, why shouldn't I ?

I am of South Indian descent and grew up around people who predominantly see only non-Hindi movies, but 'kitne admi the' is a famous dialog few who have seen BW masala movies would not recognize. That is the power of a Sholay, a great masala movie.

I think you should see a therapist if you enjoy these crappy movies. I would rather watch a intelligent Hollywood film. 🤣😈

I like masala but not the Ready, CE kind. CE is crap even as a Rohit Shetty film. I enjoyed Singham and Golmaal series more. Akshay's Mohra is one of the best masala movies ever. But Rowdy Rathore is gimmicky. Dabangg is the only modern masala film of Salman which is likeable. Even D2. But Ready types are mere gimmicks.

finally some1 like me 👍🏼 even watched himmatwala too and enjoyed it enuff said 😆

⭐️ i know right. The amount of times i have seen masala films bashed on this forum has surprised me. If your a true bollywood lover then you cannot despise masala films. Bollywood strives on these type of films, always has done and i think always will do.
