Most Indian movies have dance numbers and songs. The western world seems to think this is really funny. It's culture. Their are many movies that are extremely well made and some don't have songs or dances. What about the gems like Omkara, Eklavya, Guru, Black Friday, Dosar, Dharm, Saira. Most westerners think "Bollywood" is Indian cinema. That is only Hindi cinema and most bollywood films are really commercialized(Not all) ..I don't think the western world has an idea of what India is capable of producing, yet build on the stereotypical image. According to a American Newspaper, all Indian films are "Boy meets girl" type storylines.That is absolutely not true since thier is a variety of differant stories. (Action, suspence, scary, drama, serious, romance) across the country (Not just bollywood). They may have love in it, but it isn't always the main plot. Also apparently "They never show blood or kiss scenes"...It's funny how not true that is. What do you think of Indian cinema?

Once you can get over the dance and song numbers I think they are great. I love Devdas. Bride and Prejudice is cute.

I'd never even heard of 'inian/Bollywood' films until I started coming on here last year. And I'm OLD! I want to watch one online somewhere but, thus, being American, I want to watch the 'right' one first because if it's really bad, I'd probally never try another one. But, if it's really good, then that would be awesome to discover something 'new' in movies! What you suggest for an American to watch for the first time as an introduction into Indian Cinema? :-)

I've only seen one on world movies but I quite liked it (although it would have been a real "bollywood" one), I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I thought the song and dance numbers were designed to be funny.

Indian cinema never comes to the theaters where I live, so I know absolutely nothing about it. And if it did, I doubt I would go see a film because I know not even one Indian actor or actress. Also, I don't like subtitles.

I find them quite fascinating, myself. I can't find them often, but whenever one makes it over here in DVD form or some other form, I watch it.
