Bollywood Baby

As we were walking out of the theater I was trying really (I mean REALLY) hard not to be a total dork. What I wanted to do to was gibber about how ultra-super-fantastic I thought the movie was and how I loved loved loved loved loved it. Hyderabad's native viewers weren't all that worked up about it (just another Bollywood flick) and I really didn't want to embarass my lovely hosts.

So yeah, it was awesome. I don't know why people rag on Bollywood - I thought it was fantastic. Such costumes, such outrageous song and dance numbers. So utterly ridiculous and 800% over the top in every way. How can you NOT love it???? I can't even really do it justice with words so I won't try further.

I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a "final" song and dance number, but I guess the 6 or 7 other major numbers will have to make up for it.

I asked Sweet Pea if she wanted to practice some Bollywood moves last night when we got home but it was about 11, we had to be getting up around 6am for a wedding (weddings here are at very odd hours and days) and there was still quite a bit of "trip preparing" to do. Maybe I can get her to practice with me sometime while we are travelling.

I kinda wanna see it again. Not just kinda. And maybe with subtitles as I didn't really get the full gist of what was happening (not that is was really necessary.)
