This was spurred by chatting with @hastyhobbit on another post but my genuine hill to die on is that the only film industry I would ever trust to do an adaptation of the Silmarillion is, in fact, Bollywood. Not the Indian cinema industry or regional film, but straight up million-dollar budget high-chaos Bollywood 🙏🏽

The sheer commitment to melodrama for melodrama’s sake, the utter camp, the ridiculously Noldorin aesthetics, jewel politics, domineering father figures, lamentations!

Like truly only Bollywood would be able to watch the first kinslaying and go, yeah, I can totally get why Maglor wrote the Noldolante about this. Let’s make it a dance number.

They’ll look at Elwing jumping off a cliff and turning into a fucking bird and put it against a piano-led backing track about motherhood. Elrond and Elros would be played by the same child and spend half their time giggling and running around in the background during the bloodiest scenes to add pathos.

The tagline to the film would be “family is the most important thing”. Huan the dog would be voiced by Boman Irani and make silly little scatological jokes to break up the tension. Celegorm will 100% be called some equivalent of “blondie”.

Beren and Luthien? God, they would BODY that storyline. The love songs. Catching her dancing in the forest. The extended 20 second zoom into Thingol’s furious face while the two of them cavort in the Swiss mountains would put Elrond’s “😡 she stays for you 😡” bit in Fellowship to SHAME.

Heist film + comedy + tragedy + romance + musica + period war drama all in one? Bollywood essentially has a PhD in that exact thing.

And if the Fëanorians do not do this then I do not want them:

the prosecution rests, your honour
