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.
