Ahhh good ole Preity I remember we had to choreograph a dance to Jiya Jale in a week and we could only manage half the song because it was so damn long But Manisha Koirala is beautiful in that movie.
Hmmm, I'm glad some good movies have been mentioned here.
Black ( while not original) is brilliant..... its great to see an indian movie without all the singing and stupid dancing all the time. The theme is gorgeous though.
Veer Zaara- yeah its an almost typical indian movie with singing, dancing. But Shah Ruhk Khan gave a great performance. ITs a touching movie, with music that stays in your mind and for the non-cynics , in your heart. ( the girl who played the lawyer in this movie, is also the deaf/blind girl in Black)
Water- an amazing movie about the plight of widows in India. GReat acting, great ideas. The director has two other movies ( Fire and Earth), can't wait to my hands on them.
Lagaan - is a great movie. Simple, powerful, beautiful. The scene where the village women pray for victory gives me goosepimples everytime i see it. The Bhajan( hindu prayer, in a melodious tune) can bring a tear to some eyes.
my faves Khabie Kushie Kabhi Gham- kind of a typical indian movie. With three stupid songs that I just bypass all the time. A very touching movie, that never ceases to bring tears to my eye. 1942- A love story- an older movie, different story line. Simply the best songs ever . The main song tears me up since i reminds me of an uncle I lost some years ago. He and his wife used to love to sing it all the time. GREAT movie. A love story of a man and a woman and people and a country. In my opinion has one of the most romantic scenes in alll the movies I've ever seen.
BTW all those new movies like Dhoom 2 etc belong in a toilet.

Hey all, haven't posted here for a while.... been busy with school and stuff.
I recently saw "Bheja fry" and "Traffic Signal", both excellent movies.
Bheja Fry is one of the funniest Indian movies I've seen in a long time. Vinay pathak acting was awesome.
Traffic signal is about the lives and travails of people living around a traffic signal in Mumbai. Its like the shortest Indian movie I've ever seen... lasts less than a hour and a half.
Get a grip you racist newbie freek, you should be banned for that comment, Im not sure but I believe verbal racial attacks are against the rules and something should be done.
I watched Devdas again for like the hundredth time today, its one of my favourite films, its just so sad I obviously have to watch it with sub titles as I dont speak the language lol, but you get used to it after a while lol,
