Oh Bollywood how I love thee. reviews and suggestion for a newbie

Reviews and suggestions for a newbie from a newbie
A few things you need to know before watching if you are indeed a newbie.
BW is very cheesy, melodramatic, musical, colorful, romantic, patriotic, 3 hours, and Indian. And why do i like them? for all of the before mentioned reasons. A lot of BW movies have no kissing. But they can get a bit, hum…. PG13, but not for long . The newer movies are trashier then the older ones (go figure)
My favorite actor  SRK (Shah Rukh Khan THE king of BW) said “I keep hearing that our films are escapist and unreal but I find our films the most real in the world. We don’t have people going up in a rocket and single-handedly blowing up a meteor. We don’t have a president on Air Force One saving the world or things coming out of people’s stomachs. Our fantasies and escapism are real. It’s just people singing and dancing in the street If England had won the World Cup you would have seen people singing and dancing like that."
 You will see his name SRK on this list a lot, he has made like 50 movies in 20 years.
If you never have see one give one my list a try, I  suggest number #5 to start or #9 if your a dude.

My top 9 movies 

I’ve seen like maybe 30 and so far only 9 are really dear to my heart.

9. Don: The Chase Begins Again 2006 RATING:4

I think you might actually get a guy to watch this, guns, drug lords, guns, fighting, and singing and dancing  wink wink. I ♥ the story.

8.  Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Something Happens) 1998 RATING:4

 

Cheesy, with a side order of cheese please. People adore this movie. it’s not my favorite though, It makes the list because it’s got some good music, dancing, death, love. Great chemistry from the jodi (match)

7. Om Shanti Om  2007 RATING:5

I had a hard time picking just one clip for this movie, OSO has tons of good music.  Love SRK in this! Shanti is quite possibly the prettiest actress ever. This movie has a lot of like BW references that only make sense if you watch BW movies. It makes fun of itself, a lot.  It’s a bit more trashy then other BW , Put some clothes on people.

6. VEER-ZAARA 2004  RATING:5

(I love this song)  

this move is long, BW is famous for dragging the end out with pilot twists. But this movie is still worth seeing, and more than once.  A few wonderful dances.  Super melodrama man, it’s almost too much ! But the story itself the songs and dancing make up for it.

5 Rab Ne Bana De Jodi (A Match Made by God) 2008 RATING:5

 

Ok SRK is just, he is just amazing!! Gosh. No kidding iv seen enough BW movie now I understand why the whole world loves this guy. This is a sweet movie, GREAT music n dancing! One to watch over and over. This is the good first BW movie if you new to them.

4 Vivah ( A Journey From Engagement To Marriage) 2009 RATING:5

this is such a sweet movie with all the BW elements to make you happy: love, fire, tragedy, pain, dancing and singing! The couple both have such sweet faces! Cute cute cute!  

2. Parineeta  (The Married Woman) 2005 RATING:5

Love this story!  It’s almost number one!  It’s more of a serious movie,   I just love the complexity of the characters.  great music, a really a good quality movie with  a-1 acting.

1.  Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge ("The Braveheart Will Take the Bride") 1995  RATING:5

Staring  SRK & kajo ! this Jodi is like old school number one BW Jodi of all time !  I don’t know why I love this movie it’s kind of stupid sometime. LOL really it is. But SRK it’s just so charming! The music and dancing  make me happy. Iv noticed, It’s a lot of other people’s favorite BW movie too.I think a ton of the later movies have tried to be this movie. It’s just a nice BW mix: music, color, dance, love, obstacles, humor and “Happys endings”

 Hope you enjoyed my review, post a comment and tell me what BW movies you like!
