Get a life. Why not? Bollywood movies are much 'bigger' and have more 'depth', and obviously has more to offer than Hollywood and everyone else! So just STFU, and move on with your pathetic lives, and don't watch the movie if you don't want to.
shareI've been watching Bollywood movies all my life...and the last thing I would say is that they have 'depth'. How can movies that copy almost every single aspect of their Hollywood counterparts be considered to have depth?
Anyways im sure Arnold is playing himself...the Governor in the movie. It's a small cameo, and I'm almost positive that's the only role he can legally play while being in office.
Bollywood movies have DEPTH? Are you high? Bollywood is filled with immature love stories and most of those movies suck!
There are doing it for money, not because they like Bollywood.
You are so thick. For money? They've both most likely had TONS of more offers, and they CHOSE a Bollywood movie because THEY WOULD LIKE TO, now get over it.
shareYou're a Indian, aren't you? Typical Indian smugness.
shareYou *beep* racist, yes i'm Indian, but that's got nothing to do with the fact (that you so obviously can't take) I pointed out, that they've had 100's of offers; FACT, and why would they choose to star in a Bollywood movie? Because it's far away from typical Hollywood cliched junk.
shareSee, I thought so. Only an Indian would be so blind to say that Bollycrap has 'depth'. Don't be so foolish, try to look beyond your blind Nationalism.
shareWhat's funny is that YOU seem to be an Indian yourself. You should be proud you moron, not dissing it. Look at a movie like 'black' and 'gangster', they are great, and have more depth than most hollywood movies, these days.
shareblack was almost a frame by frame copy of 'The Miracle Worker'. They changed around a few characters and minor situational details, but it was basically the same movie. Amitabh was Anne Sullivan, except they made him a male, and he wasn't partially blind like her. The performances were top notch...especially the person who played the young girl...but in no way did the movie have any 'depth'.
I actually enjoyed Gangster...a lot. Very well acted, and generally well made movie. But again, its was most definitely 'inspired' by another film since it was written by the great Mahesh Bhatt; the same guy who made 'Raaz' aka What Lies Beneath or 'Murder' aka Unfaithful. He's just not capable of coming up with an original idea, in fact its rare that any Indians come up with original ideas. Its like they watch HBO when they need 'inspiration' and then jot down some notes about a random Hollywood movie and adapt it for the Indian Film Industry.
Hindi movies are simply entertainment, nothing else...you can't possibly say they have more depth than most hollywood movies, because they're all adapted from hollywood movies. The last original Indian movie I can remember seeing is Munnah Bhai.
By the way, most Hollywood actors do commercials and cameos in foreign movies because they make millions for a day or two of work and they are never watched by the American public. Search youtube for Japanese commercials with Hollywood stars. Arnold got 2 million to appear in a 90s Japanese energy drink commercial that he shot in less than a couple of hours, i'm sure he's getting paid more for his cameo in this movie. If they signed on to do big studio projects, they would get bigger sums of money, but they would also be tied down for a few months. To think that the stars in Kambakkht Ishq are doing it because bollywood movies have 'depth' is ludacris.
Oye, baifkoof! I'm an Indian as well, Bollywood has depth?!? Are you retarded?! Is that why there are so many pathetic ripoffs (very poorly done by the way) of hollywood scripts that are 'converted' into Bollywood productions i.e. they dumbdown the entire story as to make it less 'confusing' for the rather simple minded demographic of the average desis, and also add in a hokey comedy angle (even if they're ripping off the script of a Tarantino movie godamnit), a love interest and cheesy music segways?
shareAll those movies you've listed are carbon-copies of Hollywood films, mate. Anybody will be hard pressed to find an original movie from Bollywood--the plot is always stolen from Hollywood films, and they add this cheesy love story and WALA...you have a Bollywood film. Or, there's dancing too!
Maybe you haven't heard of people like Satyajit Ray? Cause your too busy watching crap starring Amitabh or Sharukh Kahn. Grow up, please.
P.S--I'm not Indian, which I'm quite proud of.
Well you're Tamil, which is worse. And no, don't try and deny it. Oh, and welcome to my ignore list, *beep*
shareTypical Indians.
sharehey guys who wants a slushie? on me
sharehahah Indian movies have depth.... joke of the century.
shareahaha. White people in an indian movie .... hard for this guy to believe cauze he tries to act like them all day in order to impress them and at the end of the day they come in Indian movies.
shareBe realistic people. The likes of Sly, Arnie and even Brandon from SR all have simple cameos in this film just to give it some authenticity because the movie takes place in Hollywood. Make a little money, have some fun, be in a movie that only Indians will ever watch and go crazy about. Not bad for H'wood thesps if you ask me.
shareI am an Indian and I would agree that almost all of Bollywood movies have no depth whatsoever. They are *beep* and stupid most of the time.
But, I am deeply offended by your comment on all Indians (though I dont think you care) and would request that refrain from these and keep the discussion healthy.
On a side note, I am often surprised why people think they all are so different, just by skin color or country or something else, when above all they are only humans.

By the way,how many of you know that E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial by Steven Speilberg was a plagiarism of Satyajit Ray's 1967 script 'The Alien'??
India's finest film maker wasn't even acknowledged for his script,which he had sent to Speilberg 4 years before ET was out.
Check the credits for ET here,it mentions Satyajit Ray - uncredited

If you want proof,just google it and you'll find the article.
The *beep* called Star Wars is based on Indian mythology called Mahabharatha.
Superman is based on a mythological character called Hanuman,who could fly.
The scene in Superman Returns,where superman lifts the entire island,is a rip-off of a scene where Lord Hanuman lifts the island of Sri Lanka.
Bollywood isn't the only one who steals stuff.And those countless remakes of Chinese/Korean films indicate that there is a lack of creative talent in hollywood too.
Now they are gonna remake REC too!*beep* them!!
I couldn't stop laughing when Scorsese got the Oscar for The Departed,a chinese film remake!
Nothing for his earlier great films like Raging Bull,Taxi Driver etc.
They gave him an Oscar just for the sake of it..XD
Don't waste your time, these morons have a cliched view of bollywood which is sad. MANY original movies are made, and they are mostly excellent.

If you want depth go watch Rang De Basanti, Lagaan, Swades, A Wednesday, Black, Chak De India, Dil Chahta Hai, Taare Zameen Par, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, Satya, and Company. None of them are typical Hindi movies.
The only reason people think all bollywood movies are the same is because its a damn stereotype.
Or Aakhein
shareyou've listed about 10 movies. bollywood produces 900 of them per year. enough said...
====================================
This is your life. It is ending one minute at a time.
Well tamil movies are 10x better they bollywood rip offs, full of pure crap and everything is copied. Write your own damn story or stop making movies!
shareand somebody said they rip all Malayalam, Telugu and Hollywood. Must be true!!
But anyhow, lets see if these guys appear in American-Desi kinda junk. BTW that is what Indian-Americans make. Those are their movies ... lol. Umm don't think they represent hollywood. They would like to think that but nah. Sry :( lol.
@ the original poster:
Have you seen an Indian "action" movie? Some of the worst crap I've ever seen. You get one skinny dork beating up 50 guys, then he's dancing to some ear-piercing song in the next scene along with dancers that pop from nowhere. Bollywood movies are horrible. Just horrible.

There are some worse action films but if you watch akshay kumar films, they are the only watchable ones due to his fight scenes and stunts, superman was even impressed with akki's stunt scene that he also wanted to do it.
sharesuperman was even impressed with akki's stunt scene that he also wanted to do it.

Um, what?
Brandon Routh, the actor who played Superman, is starring in this movie. He is in a scene with Akshay Kumar (the lead actor in this movie) and was very surprised at how he did his own stunts. Unlike Hollywood action heroes who rely on stunt doubles and special effects, Asian action heroes (including Hong Kong and Bollywood ones) do all the stunts themselves.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!!!!!???"
Jag85, Akshay Kumar is a stuntman, so i do see a reason of him not relying a stunt double, but actors like SRK, Amir, and other actors do need stunt double. The only other stuntments in bollywood are Ajay Devgan and Suniel Shetty.

Such as as swimming with live sharks or standing on top of a flying plane or the fight scenes with undertaker.

These guys are probably in the movie for the quick buck, or to try something different, chance at a broader appeal, maybe the producers know them?
Also, Brandon Routh would probably appear in Maldivian (?) films if offered, going by his recent work

yes. apparently bollywood = depth. also, apparently to get more depth you need stallone. an actor with the most razies ever. way to go, bollywood. now go away and swallow all your pride by yourself.
====================================
This is your life. It is ending one minute at a time.
Haha get a life. Yes, maybe Bollywood makes around 10+ EXCELLENT movies a year, but doesn't Hollywood too? It's not like every Hollywood movie is the best movie, infact most are *beep* I think you people are the ones who need to swallow YOUR pride ;).
