  1. One of my sisters is in India right now & she got to watch a Bollywood movie being made. She said the security around the stars was amazing as in many! Thanks for the list of movies, must check some of them out.

    1. I hardly ever eat Indian food, but I like it when I do. I should learn how to cook a few dishes here at home.

  4. I haven't seen a complete Indian movie--only excerpts. Never drew me in, I guess. But I should watch one before I die...just for the experience--LOL! ;)

    1. There are real differences between the older and newer films. If you've only tried the newer ones you might like one of the older ones better.

    2. I've never watched an entire film--old or new. Just snippets of all the choreographed dancing and singing. ;)

    3. There's a variety out there. I hope you find one you like :) I find the older ones with the singing and dancing fun to watch. They tend to be long, but the musical elements are such a change what what we see here. I haven't seen anything recent, since I depend on coming across them online.
