My friend is new to Indian Entertainment and he just started dating this Indian girl and he doesn't want to feel like a complete ignoramus when it comes to Indian Entertainment culture. And he was wondering what Bollywood movies are good. And what Indian music artists are too. What do you fellow AF Indians recommend?

Are those movies? Can you make your recommendations more organized in thought? Because my friend is right beside me right now confused on the titles.

here here, what's with this newb $hit? I thought you people would learn by now, especially you hammy being near AF supreme and already a mod. In the other rate him thread, people claimed the picture was me until I handed out my authenticate pic. What's to stop my credibility now? Anyhow, lately I've been telling some people of AF and it seems they're checking out topics more. So lay off of me. sure.gif

fiza is a good first movie to watch. it has elements of romance, danger, family, patriotism, ect.



black is an excellent movie on the adaptation of helen keller's life.



devdas is perfection as far as hindi cinema goes. beautiful story, cinematography, and superb acting.



u might also wanna check out gadar, company, and chandni bar... if u want more realism.

Just be yourself, pretending to know about Bollywood probably isn't gonna help you and for all you know, she might not even care about Bollywood.

theres so many to choose from. another good movie for bollywood beginers is Dil Chata Hai. this one is pretty modern & contemporary. as for musical artists, id recommend stereo nation, raghav, adnan sami, bombay vikings, ect.

Watch the 1989 Mahabharat Series. It was so popular that people across India stopped working to watch it.

Yeah, it was the same with Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan Series.

I was in India when that was going on, and it was immensly popular. One time while I was at the doctor's office, the clock struck five and the doctor just left in the middle of my check-up to watch Ramayan on Doordarshan (or whichever channel it was)...... embarassedlaugh.gif
