      exactly! They don't even care about you ! Bollywood has a huge fan base and one hater isn't gonna make a difference at all!

   I like Bollywood.
   
   Maybe you are comparing Bollywood and Hollywood. In that sense, Hollywood produces some good quality movies.
   
   But Bollywood is not bad at all - I would still watch the latest Shahrukh, Aamir or Hrithik movie.

      We cannot compare Hollywood and Hollywood cos they are culturally world apart.
      Do you notice most Hollywood movies are on Hijack situation,Aliens, species etc.
      I have never seen a unique movie very lately

      @weblogian: Bollywood and Hollywood can't be same. If they are same, then we can call Bollywood also as Hollywood. No? There is difference. So, Bollywood.

   I doubt. Are all what you have said in your blog your real feelings? I think you are doing this thinking it may create buzz about your blog. I don't mean we all should love this industry by the way.
   
   But, I don't say I hate Bollywood. I have seen many Bollywood films and really like some of them.

   I've enjoyed very much the couple of Bollywood movies I've seen.
   
   It's different than Hollywood film-- the campiness of the humor is charming, and some of the music I found quite enjoyable.

    Um.. well I don't watch bolywood movies so I don't care
    Here in Russia there was a big boom of bolywood movies about 20 yrs ago. My family used to watch indian movies. I didn't like them especially those that were watched over and over again. Now most of my family members are passed away and noone watches these movies nor do I.

    I honestly don't know much about bollywood so why would I hate it? But I read it's like a 'movie mill' so at the very least it provides lots of employment which is not a bad thing...

    Like Hangingonahyphen, I know very little about Bollywood.
    
    What I do understand is that it's an economic and cultural phenomenon that's similar in some respects to Hollywood during the first part of the 20th century.
    
    I don't expect that many Bollywood films, or related products, will be the subject of breathlessly positive discussion in campus coffee shops, here in America. And I certainly won't expect a Bollywood film to show up in Cannes anytime soon.
    
    But, aside from a failure to appeal to the earnestly esoteric art crowd, and some probable moral issues, I don't see anything to hate. It looks like Bollywood is producing something that people who live around the 50th percentile like: and I have not problem with that.

    I saw some really good films in Bollywood that didn't get the acknowledgment it deserved
    and some really aweful Hollywood film that did get acknowledged, so I am my own critic when it comes to films, whether they're from Bollywood, Hollywood or home made movies.

    When I want to give thinking a break for a mindless 3-hours (and then some sometimes)... I have been known to 'escape' via a campy, kitschy complete-with-psychedelic 10-costume-change dance sequence Bollywood offering.
    
    Besides, we can't watch Kurosawa/Bunuel/Kubrick ALL the time, now can we?

       Norski

       Good point: One of my favorite films is Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" / "Shichinin no samurai."
       
       Another is Anderson's Meet the Robinsons ( www.imdb.com/title/tt0396555/ ).
       
       I like Shakespeare (if done by actors who play the parts instead of 'acting Shakespearean' - another topic entirely) and the Three Stooges.
       
       The point is, I don't see anything wrong with enjoying light entertainment, or the most heavy-duty, industrial-strength drama available - providing that the person enjoys what's happening, and gets something out of it. That can be a few hours of mental R and R, or the pleasure of following a well-drafted-and-directed drama.

    eh?
    you start off saying you hate bollywood. And then later, you recommend watching bollywood movies. And further still you go on to say bollywood doesnt get recognition??
    
    I personally prefer Hrithik/Aamir movies.
    Can barely sit through a Shah Rukh/ Karan Johar movie without being annoyed

       bollywood movie has a global appeal now a days...many movies have already got nominated for Oscars...every culture has its unique way of expressing something..After going through the subtitles I found Bollywood movies full of emotions..So there is no point hating it.

    Bollywood girls may be appealing and hot, doesn't make their movies look good. Well i don't like bollywood, because nothing seems rational enough to believe, they always make big deal out of everything.

    @nifraz....people do not hate bollywood movies...I would rather say that "hate " is avery strong term, It has become a self sufficient profit making unit..Even many British actors are always ready to act there...But I don't understand the necessity of too many songs in between a movie though some of them are really grt to listen(though the language is alien...yet..the tunes are great.)

    movies are for entertainment...rationality doesn't matter.At least Bollywood have succeeded in grabbing the attention of the western masses as the recent movies have a global appeal potraying a culture which is a mix of both west and east..I think Pakistani movie industry has a long way to go to reach there..we like Bollywood movies a lot over here in US.(but with subtitles)...
