I kinda dig the idea of Bollywood films- you know saturated colours, lush decor, amazing outfits and so on- but I never really rent them, since I am quite afraid of the song and dance numbers and the story lines are too highly dramatic.
I have seen about 4 Indian films- Agnivarsha, Kama Sutra and Monsoon Wedding and Masti, and I suppose the last one is the only Bollywood one and I really enjoyed it. Kama Sutra wasn't much to talk about, Agnivarsha was excellent, but more esoteric, so between Monsoon Wedding and Masti- I think Masti takes the cake.
Monsoon Wedding got quite big here and it was such a trivial story- it started with a promise for something and wound up in nowhere bland land +offered no eye candy. Masti on the other hand doesn't attempt to run for an Oscar and is absolutely fabulously enjoyable and stoked with pretty people and pretty decor and even the music numbers are cool- I watched them.
