About this list:

I love Bollywood (India's Hollywood) movies. I love them so much the other teachers tease me. My defense is they are beautiful and innocent. So many festivals, so much color, so much music....and SO much family.Yes, the story lines are often predictable..even clique. In that aspect, they remind me of Hollywood's early, early movies. I admire the culture. Maybe that's one reason I love them. I only list the ones I've seen. Look for subtitles...unless you speak Hindu

Qualifications:

I watch them very often..I teach Indian students

Description

This Bollywood movie will break your heart. I especially like it because it shows India itself, as represented by their movie industry, recognizes parts of their culture that must change. Be ready to cry...and want to protest.

Dil Se.. Dvd

Description

Wonderful music. This is the movie that made me realize the songs and dances often have little to nothing to do with the main story line. Often they are what someone is thnking. This will probably become a classicc.
