hello! yesterday you mentioned growing up with Bollywood films, and I wondered is there one you'd recommend for someone new to them? I'm very curious, but I don't really know where to begin, and I'd appreciate a reccomendation from someone familiar with them :3

oh god idek where to start cuz they’ve always been a part of my life. i guess a good beginner movie is Lagaan? It’s basically an underdog sports movie with great music. Maybe Devdas? Jab We Met? I’m so bad at this cuz bollywood films have certain cultural sensibilities that can be hard for a non-desi viewer to get. So i’ll just list off some of my fave bollywood films:

Awaara, Mughal-e-Azam, Sholay, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kal ho na ho, Dil Se, Dil Chahta Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, Devdas, Om Shaanti Om, Chakde India, Taare Zameen Par, Koi Mil Gaya, Dhamal, Welcome, Jab We Met, Swades, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Rab Ne Banadi Jodi, Band Baaja Baaraat, 3 Idiots, Wake Up Sid, Highway, RamLeela, Piku, Gangs of Wasseypur, Zindagi Na Millegi Dobara, Lunchbox, Dangal… and ofc Lagaan and Devdas too.

I’m missing a lot probably and this is very 2000s centric lol. Remember Bollywood just refers to Hindi Cinema based in Mumbai and it barely scratches the surface of Indian Cinema.

The quotes are hilarious af😂✊🏼but nonetheless individual performances are clap worthy👏. Ranveer singh once again steals the show.

I finally understood why ranveer singh was chosen to play rocky in rocky aur rani ki prem kahani. It's because nobody could have played a west delhi boy who is hot,funny, irritating, cute and cringe at the same time. Ranveer singh has slayed his individual role. Full marks to being rocky randhawa but negative marks for his chemistry with alia. Their chemistry was better off playing safeena and murad in gully boy. Alia bhatt also has played the role of rani very well. Kudos to her bengali accent. But again there's absolutely no chemistry. RRPK is a must watch. Its 3 hours of proper bollywood kjo style entertainment. Don't know about the actors making a come back but karan johar has definitely made a come back. If you have grown up loving DDLJ, K3G, KKHH, then the karan johar fan in you will be mighty pleased.

I would have preferred

Ranveer-Anushka, Alia-Varun, Ranveer-deepika, Alia-Sid to make this movie a 10/10.

Ps: if you are a sucker for old hindi songs, please go watch RRPK ❤️
