DhillonCanuck Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 For those of you who do not know what Bollywood is, it is the Indian movie industry. It has been going on for over a 100 years and has created many blockbuster hits compared to Hollywood hits or maybe even better. What has inspired me to make this thread is a movie called Agneepath which released on Thursday of this week. It is probably near the top of my list for all time movies. This movie shows how far Indian cinema has come over the last century. To show the financial side of things, movies are made of many crores, 5 crores is equivalent to one million dollars. Just over a couple months ago just the second bollywood superhero movie was released called Ra One starring Shahrukh Khan, arguably the best bollywood actor of all time. This movie broke the record with it's budget costing 150 crores equivalent to 30 million US dollars. The film which I mentioned earlier called Agneepath which translates to "The Path Of Fire" cost 70 crore and made 25 crore on the first day alone. Overall every year Bollywood has a higher quantity of films then Hollywood but I believe it is not just mainly about love stories anymore but it is catching up in other aspects as well. So the purpose of this thread is to ask how many people watch bollywood and their recommendations. I strongly recommend watching Agneepath, a movie that has everything and will probably be at the top of your list as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I thought there was a Bollywood thread already. Might have just been mentioned in a thread and not actually a thread itself. Are these movies in English or are there subtitles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaNuck Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 gave up on Bollywood films. too many to keep up with and most of the story lines arent appealing to me anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I grew up watching Bollywood movies, but I stopped recently. They've been all different kinds of bad as of late. The success of a dumbass movie like Dabangg just lowered the standards of the industry. Moreso than I think any movie has in the past. People eat that crap up, but that's what it is... crap.

Bollywood movies from the '90s were great. But I think the best movie in Bollywood history is Sholay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Agneepath really good? I see that Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor are in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost 3 hours long but it was time well spent, I would give it a 9/10. If you do watch it tell me what you thought of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.A.A Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Being a typical apni kuri, I grew up watching Bollywood with the family. Not as passionate as I once was, but still enjoy watching them when I have some free time. Last Bwood movie I really enjoyed was "Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara". If "Agneepath" inspired you to actually start a new thread, it must be pretty good. I've heard good things about it, and look forward to checking it out!
