Dear Playgrounders whose eyes turn east towards a world painted gaudy like the dawn, whose lips smoulder so sweetly with unmollified masala, whose ears lay like lingas for anointment with those churning bhangra beats --

What Bollywood movies should one see? I want to know the Casablancas, the Godfathers, the Wizards of Oz, the Star Wars, and the Lords of the Rings of Bollywood cinema. Pretend I'm teaching a course on Bollywood, and say what flicks would you expect to see on the course outline.

Dhanyavad/shukriya.

Dostana.

If the name doesn't make you want to see it, here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_olXEXJLic) some (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL1B_q72Hnc&feature=related) songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0UnhpfpxL8&feature=related) that will make you.

As a bonus an obligatory fanservice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8aQfPPgf28&feature=related) song from the movie :tongue:

PS: it's about two dudes who want an apartment but the only one they can find is with a girl who wouldn't let them live there unless they were gay. So... they say they're gay. Hilarity ensues.

So it's almost like a reverse Threes Company? Sounds interesting.

I can't recommend much as the only Bollywood films I've seen have been low budget horror movies...

well, if you don't know what Bollywood movies you would want to watch, first you need to read some movie reviews so that you won't regret in the end at this website that i found on the web http://www.ratemovieshere.com/ that is very useful..

Sounds like a Bollywoodized cross between Three's Company and I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry.
