Hooray for Bollywood

Long over due.
Watch out!
The Nigerians are coming!

Hey Reporter_Nueweek -- racist much?

As for the atricle in Newsweek: India's been making movies for soo many years now, and they churn so many out every year. If they want to try to come to Hollywood sure go for it, but they don't really need to. They have a massive audience around the world (yes that's right around the world!) so they don't really need hollywood's "approval" so to speak, or American's "rescueing" them.
Plus yes, there is a massive cultural gap, as most Indian movie makers try to make "family" movies - ie movies where the whole family can sit and enjoy and not be embarressed or what not. I don't really think American's get the concept.
And on a side note, hasn't it sort of been talked about for quite a number of years? if it happens great, if not .. no problems either.. .like i said earlier.. bollywood doesn't need hollywood or vice versa.

and for those posts that are condemning Indians, my reply is the same, dont like it dont watch it, dont use it, dont do it.......dont practice it.....

What surprises me is the bitterness coming out of some of these posts!!! No one is atatcking Bollywood so why this open outrage on Americans and their sexual views. Thats their business, you dont want to accept the American Idea of sex ..dont!!!! who the heck is shoving it down your throat!!!
If bolly wood doesnt need Hollywood Kudos to them!!! but that doesnt eman you sink to the low level of spewing venom on Hollywood.
Be the bigger one, rein in your tongue or fingers in this context.
Most of the Indians writing here probably live in America, if you have such open disdain for Amwerican ways maybe you should go abck to the palce that supports your views ons ex, marriage, kids etc etc.
I am an Indian, spent most of my life in india, now in the US, I would think twice before I let out my bitterness on the coutry I live in and which now is my home!!!! If we indians are taught in our culture to respect, appreciate and be the bigger person I definitely am not seeing it in these posts..... Im proud to be an Indian with my india values but I am just as proud to be a resident of the USA.

Indian movies is real crap, and are simply a bad choice. If one really want to watch fake and baseless stories,. Its better one should watch Tom n Jerry cartoons, instead. Inidan movies is all about running around the trees, male actors with female dance steps

Preet...You are one bitter dude/dame..where is all this anger and resentment coming from??? and if im not mistaken you live in the US of A right!! and you love it here with all the freedoms it gives you....maybe Bollywood doesnt need Hollywood but you do,...isnt that why your here???
Before you pounce on me and tear me to shreads....let me tell you..I am an India, still an indian citizen living in the USA and I chose to live here for various reasons..not Hollywood or Bollywood so i would think twice before spewing venom on the lan my feet rest on!!! think about it.

I don't think so Bollywood needs Americans help like someone said "Americans are we always need to rescue everyone" When did Americans rescue India when India was in need???? NEVER so I don't think so Bollywood needs Americans help............... And also talking about sex, violence because of the huge culture gap between the undevelopped US of A and the more mature India..........Well I guess we can say that we don't go around and sex with 20 or 30 people and later on we don't know even know who is that poor kid's dad aleast Indian's know who's their kids dad is....Maybe you guys haven't seen the rest of the bollywood movies...First watch then Judge...........

As an American interested in Southest Asia, I believe Bollywood shows the side of Indian culture only shared by the top 10% of India. The rest of the 90% watch those shimmery progress on the screen, dream about it and get on with their usual business of worrying about basic necessities. If innovative equals adding more glitter, then yes, they have become very innovative.

but there is no kisses in thier movies
i wander why

It is nice to see other ethnic groups get recognition for talent. The only problem is, since America is so dang open, sexually, because of culture and religion, they may prohibit themselves to have a more larger base. You know how America is about their sex!

where hollywood errs in pricing of tickets is thus- $2 per ticket will encourage a famiy of 4 to go to the movies. at $12 we wait for it to come out on DVD. Bollywood pricing is fair in most towns and villages. In the cities it has become exorbitant at $4-$6 and the yuppie crowd that is earning $1000-$4000per month go to the multiplexes and watch Ronnie's yuppie films with yuppie values. Hollywood needs to learn the wisdom of smart pricing.
