This movie shows why Bollywood sucks


The two so called indian 'actors' should just stick to overly melodramatic superficial hindi movies. Just look at the two--Salman Kahn is sleepwalking in this film and Aishwaraya is simply horrendous. Only in bollywood these kind of people would be called 'actors'. Please keep these 'actors' away from hollywood, and spend a budget with good hollywood actors and actresses instead of being cheap and resorting to below-par bolllywood 'actors'.

I agree that Bollywood is full of mostly bad actors and actresses, but so is hollywood.The only clear difference is that hollywood has great actors/actress and even better directors, which bollywood doesn't have just yet.I think when bollywood starts making movies with real emotions and character development, they will become more on par with the rest of the world.

have you ever seen black, it was up for an oscar at one point. rang de basanti? lagaan? all three were about to be put up for oscars. and deepa mehtha's water WAS up for an oscar. actually i think lagaan won one. maybe you just dont take the time to watch quality movies, which my opinion gives your arguement no basis. you clearly gave no example whatsoever and decided to pick the worst actor (salman khan) as your defense. in that case, hollywood sucks, because everybody's divorced and people like paris hilton get tons of publicity for sucking up movies. there you go. add lindsey lohan to the list. but you fail to see the good. like hollywood has made tons of good stuff. atleast in bollywood, nobody is out making sex tapes, and sniffing coke.
i ahve to agree with one thing, salman sucks and this movie looks dumb. just don't trash the whole business.

I haven't seen "Black", but from what I've read it's nothing more then a Hellen Keller ripoff.And what does Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have to do with the overall hollywood movie industry.They are not big hollywood actresses,they are tabloid celebrities that get movie deals, nothing more.Also, what does an actor or actress personal life have to do with the quality of there works? You are bringing up things that have nothing to do with films; I can easily say at least in hollywood they don't bleach there skin to look move white, but just like you bringing up "sex tapes, and sniffing coke" that doesn't have anything to do with film.Please stick to the topic

Black was not up for an Oscar. Paheli was the submission from India that year and did not get the nomination. Lagaan did not win an oscar even though it was nominated.No Man's Land from Bosnia won that year. Deepa Mehta's Water was noiminated but it was the official submission from CANADA. I just wanted to straighten the facts. Also, people in Bollywood also are guilty of drug use and sex scandals, they are just not dumb enough to flaunt it out in the open like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Bollywood makes more movies than Hollywood as well, so volume wise they are on top. Quantity does not equal quality. For the thousands of films they release each year, maybe 3 or 4 are worthy to be called quality films.

i agree with you at a certain level, the bollywood industry is way below par compared to hollywood standards. But you have to look at the people watching these movies, the majority of indians love bollywood movies. they aren't accustomed to to over-the-top hollywood movies and therefore find nothing wrong with the bollywood movies. the directors and producers know that no matter what, people will see their movie, so why waste time and money making it oscar worthy, there only after the money. they keep their budgets to the minimum required for the films to be considered movies

Hey mamamia123....bollywood has just a few great movies and belive me you would able to count them all on ur ten fingers(mostlikely less than ten even). But comeon are you gonna defend the industry which churns out the most number of movies in the world with handfull of movies. And as far as ur mention of Paris Hilton, she isnt even an actress, i mean she tried in a few movies but that didnt really worked and its almost the same for Lindsay Lohan as well. But then again you can certainly compare hollywoods failed stuff with bollywoods stars like Salman. He s a pathetic excuse of an actor anyways. I ve seen monkeys putting more emotion and life to their character in movies(Amrican Pie) than Salman.

The problem is everybody comparing themselves to Hollywood, America, or the western world. Make what works in India and stop worrying about America. Bollywood is great the way it is. Yes you have stinkers like in Hollywood, but if you are going to change/improve then do it on your own terms. I mean seriously movies that are Oscar winning from other countries mostly are the these poor little people are downtrodden. Aww look at the poor little indian or African. So in other words just do your own thing.
