Bollywood in Poland

Last time I was in Poland there was quite a bit of popularity with Bollywood with the release of King Khan (Shah Rukh Khan)'s films like Main hoon na (Jestem przy tobie) and Kal ho naho (Gdyby jutro by niebylo - or something like that?)... was wondering if anyone into the bollywood scene has seen new movies released or new bollywood parties going on? Im coming to poland late november and want to party bollywood style!

BTW! did anyone see the filming of "Faana" earlier this year... it was in Zakopane! Was wondering...

hey, i've always wondered y india's film industry prospers because they're usually long, have mediocre stories or plots about silly love filled with unecessary glamour and flashiness and if its lucky might have the support of skilled, respectable actors like sharukh khan as u mentioned or a veteran like amitabh bacchan. i also kinda dislike how they're always recycling cast members who r gorgeous. they should make a realistic movie more often about women and men who aren't so model or supermodel quality. why do indian people like seeing them?....

I dunno yaar... I think a lot of us like Bollywood films because its part of the culture. The stories are not alwys silly love filled plots... i mean theyre all about love in some way, because i guess love defines a big part of who we are... we all need to eat... and we all fall in live at one stage in our lives. For me I love the music... I love Big Bachchan, and his son is good too...

And the length... well just remember there is usually intermission... which is something other countries forget about :P

The larger than life stories of bollywood are mainly targeted at the mass of Indian population whose only entertainment is movies. Those who struggle for a basic existance, often have no source or mean for fun other than bollywood. Those 2-3 hours in the cinema, they forget all about their surrondings of abject poverty and lose themselves in a world of idealism, fantasy and pure entertainment. This is the reason many of the movies are called masala movies as they include the 'spices' love, relations, music, dancing, fighting and so on.

However these days there are movies from bollywood aimed at the middle class english speaking Indians. Many of these movies in english are of much higher standard and mostly in lines to the mainstream european movies.. or as it once existed. This may not be directly classified as bollywood, but are produced by the same production companies.

Indian movies are shown in Poland now> When I was in Katowice, I just saw one, Kamasutra!

why all indian movies are the same?
there is no kisses let alone sex scenes in those movies(strange! kama sutra came from india).
usually they are a bit childish and naive.
female voices sound always the same.
a lot of movies tells stories about posh and loaded young people not many about day to day reality in india.
