Out of the great mass of cheezy flicks there are some that stand out to me, my favs are...

Deewar
Hum
Lagaan
Mission Kashmir(I found it a bit cheezy, but still liked it)
Swades

so what's your favorites?

Your right, India makes the most cheesiest flicks in the world!

But the ones I like from all of them are usually movies by Ram Gopal Varma (since his movies aren't cheesy):
Satya
Company
Kaun
Darna Mana Hai
Ek Hasina Thi

Or good dramas/epics like:
Black
Dev
Lagaan
The Rising
Asoka
Kisna
Legend of Bhagat Singh
Kal Ho Naa Ho
Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander
Swades

There, I added Swades.

oh come on, Asoka?

^ Don't get me started on Mission Kashmir, what a piece of trash!

Just jokin, Mission Kashmir was a decent movie... but at least Asoka had a lot more of this:

Hmm its way too difficult for me to choose
Here goes:

-Asoka (jiggyjiggy )
-Kal Ho Na Ho
-Munna Bhai MBBS
-Style (i know )
-Pinjar
-Stop!
-Karam
-Mission Kashmir
-Yes Boss

I'm suprised, you guys don't think Swades is a very good film?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Swades. I'll go add it to my list now.

i remember there was a bollywood flick on sino-japanese war. it was pretty popular in china. don't remember the name though.

^ Dunno which movie that is

Swades... it was okay, but not excellent. The progress of the story was kinda
slow and yeh the story itself wasn't so good. Kinda average

I liked Swades because the story was very meangingful, which is very rare in Bollywood.


I don't think I've seen a movie like that either. Do you mean the Sino-Indian War? I didn't know they even showed Indian films in China.

Here are some of me favourites.
All right I probably mentioned these a hundred times

Kabhi Khushi Kabbie Gham
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Devdas
Kal Ho Naa Ho
Kuch naa Kaho

Hmm getting mixed expressions on Asoka is it worth watching never seen this one only know it through hearsay so what do guys think of it for those who watched it.

it was on the sino-japanese war. it was widely distributed in the country because the movie glorified mao while demonizing the japanese and the KMT.

My one favorite Bollywood flick: Nagina with Sri Deva. I love Sri Deva. To me, she's the very essence of Indian beauty. Aishwarya Rai is beautiful, but some about Sri Deva that's just captivating. Her snake dance is the best snake dance I have seen in my life.

OK I think I've tracked that movie down. Was it called "Journey of Dr. Kotnis"? Although I haven't seen it, it sounds similar to what you described. It was a bio-pic about Dr. Kotnis and was made in 1946, long before the term Bollywood was used. There was another Indian film based on Dr Kotnis called "Nightmare in Red China" made in 1955 and a Chinese film based on him, called "Kedihua dai fu", made in 1982. I didn't know there were any Indians involved in the Sino-Japanese War but Dr Kotnis seems like he was pretty respected in China.

I just noticed there's quite a few Hmongs watching Bollywood films. I'm just curious but how come?

Hmong people watch all sorts of movies. We don't limit ourselves. Most of my friends prefer Korean movies though. I think it has to do with the fact that we don't have our own country. If you want more info about the Hmong people, just go visit the thread.
