When did I ever say soldiers? What the hell are you talking about?
Stop making nonsense up, you're embarrassing yourself, you are pathetic.
And why insult me? Cause I disliked the movie and dislike Bollywood in general? It's my taste, get over it. I tell you what's really bothering you, cause I hated it and you liked it, you feel insecure and need to defend it. Again, adding to your pathetic nature.
And yes I CAN name 5 Canadian movies. Canadian movies are epic, they are usually dramatic, political and thought provoking movies. Canada and US industries CAN be used interchangeably because the culture is very similar for both countries. The fashion, the music, the lifestyle, etc. If you had an American and a Canadian in front of you, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference and nor would I. Both industries constantly influence each other to create mixed content enjoyed by these 2 very similar cultures.

Mr. Indian who lives in Canada, don't give me the BS about Canadian culture influencing Hollywood movies. I live in the U.S. and Canada is nothing but a joke here! The culture is perceived to be similar by many cause Canada does not have a culture of its own and imitates the US in everything. Reminds me of the famous line by Tina Fey: Toronto is just like NYC, but without all the things! Hahaha!
Hollywood is American cinema, period!
Just because Pakistani and Indian culture/ people are similar doesn't mean Bollywood is Pakistani. Get it? Hollywood is American, not Canadian!
I don't care if you dislike Bollywood. You were trying to demean everything about the movie and the people in it - saying things like : "the movie is trash". Attacking Bollywood by comparing it to Hollywood is foolish. Would you compare Sabyasachi sarees to Armani suits? Two very different things!
That said, I know for a fact that Indian cinema is highly respected in the West. You now have the likes of Disney and Fox Studios investing in Indian movies. I agree that Bollywood movies don't have global appeal, but the fact is that Bollywood doesn't care about the "global audience" - there are over 1 billion people who somehow relate to the India story/ culture - and that is the market!
I apologize about the "soldier" comment, I mixed you up with the other "Indian living in Canada" (how many of you are there?).

You must be living in a hole to not be aware of the influence. I will be happy to list all the influences if you want. You again misread everything I say. I never said Hollywood WAS Canadian in the sense you used such as "Bollywood IS Pakistani". Don't assume things. I suppose if Tina Fey is the most credible person you can quote, I can't argue with that. I guess she represents the entire demographic. LOL.
This movie IS trash. In my opinion. Some people think its greatest, w/e good for them. Don't argue for my opinion. Its mine, and you and your illogical statements cannot change it.
This movie WAS a WASTE of TIME. Come at me bro.
And when did I attack people in it? Seriously you GOTTA STOP making BS up. WHEN? Please keep arguments coherent and quotable. Just making *beep* up doesn't fly by me.
Comparing BW and HW is NOT foolish. Again my opinion, COME AT ME BRO. Its because they're both industries I have seen about equal movies in. And since I have been exposed to equal amounts of Canadian/North American culture and Indian culture, I can make a judgement that suits MY opinion. If I was a transvestite who wore the sarees and suits and compared them, I would say that would be fair.
And to end it. Most of BW is trash, IMO. Don't like it? Deal with it. Or come at me and I'll love to embarrASS you some more.

You started off by comparing Bollywood (BW) to Hollywood (HW) - and concluded that all BW movies are trash. Yes, loosely speaking, they are the same kind of industry, but the products are completely different. There is the food industry that creates pizzas as well as burgers; only would fool would say that pizzas are better than burgers. If you like pizzas more than burgers, then good for you, don't go around trashing burger joints. Get my point? (BTW, your transvestite analogy made no sense .. lol)
And why are you putting HW on such a high pedestal? It produces garbage on a weekly basis. Last week, there was a movie by the name "American Reunion" in which a creepy 30 year old slams his laptop on his penis while watching porn in front of a kid. Laugh your way off on that one! So, judging by the same yard-stick, how isn't this movie garbage?
BW makes good and bad movies. Trashing it is uncalled for! If you were to face the facts, you would realize that BW is the largest film industry in the world. And second only to Hollywood in terms of revenue generation (a gap that is closing very rapidly).
In a world where Jerry Springer is acceptable television, BW is NOT TRASH! I am defending BW cause I like many of their movies and I dislike people like you. I also know that the industry is constantly evolving - making better movies everyday! But, why are you attacking it? Why? You hate this movie so much that you have urges to go online and trash the entire Hindi film industry! C'mon now!

No. Incorrect. I base my opinion on many films I have seen produced by BW. Sure Hollywood is not perfect, I never said it was. Did I ever say EVERYTHING by HW is best and EVERYTHING by BW is trash? Seriously, where do you get this from? I distinctively remember using a 90% figure. AND I ALSO STATED that its suitable for people in India who see this as "new" kind of concepts. Read. Please. I happen to seriously love and adore tons of BW films, the ratio just quite heavily shifts towards HW.
Who cares if its the largest industry in the world? I don't give a crap.
You dislike people like me? Well, I don't care one bit about what you think of me? How's that? You could hate me all you want, you're just a prick behind a computer who cannot take someone else's opinion being different than yours. You just cannot stand that someone else out there hates something you like.
Trashing is uncalled for? What gives you the right to decide that? Its my opinion, I could trash whatever I want whenever I want regardless of a person like you being judgemental about it. And no, I am not from brampton.

You are the f-in idiot for assuming I haven't seen them. Why would you assume that? Did I share that info with anyone? Why are you so judgemental? Are you a frustrated human being trying to pass judgements due to your shortcomings? Are you petrified that since my tastes differ than yours, and subdue yours that its my negative impression of you as a person as well? You have issues. Seek help.
Swades, haven't seen.
RDB, seen it. Wouldn't call it trash, would call it good. Would be great if the plot wasn't lifted off of a foreign movie.
JJWS, one of my favs. My fav bollywood song is from it.
Udaan, just fantastic movie. Loved how the protagonist dealt with his struggles.
KKG, have not seen it.
You also spoke in paradox which also proves you being a hypocrite. You said you would ignore lame people implying that I am lame. Yet you did not ignore me, instead you commented about me. So we can assume two scenarios: 1) You think I am lame, yet you chose to comment about me despite saying its better to ignore people like me <- contradicted yourself. 2) This leads to the fact that you yourself proved I am not lame by commenting about me.
TLDR: Either you are a hypocrite or I am not lame. I would vouch for both.
Imbecile.

*beep* like you are rare! BW is trash and yet almost all movies I mentioned are amazing according to you. And a Hollywood asslicker like you are calling me Hypocrite. Funny, really Funny. Those were just a few examples. I can write an essay on Indian Cinema of which Bollywood is a part. And I watch a lot of Global stuff too. So you can keep that global BS away. From Kar Wai Wong to Xavier Dolan (Canadian BTW) to Jean Luc Godard to Satyajit Ray, I have watched almost everyone's movies. Stating these little facts just so you know how lame you sound when you assume that I have issues.
Every *beep* movie industry creates Trash that are popular among the masses. Its a business after all. Audience pays money and hence the producers make what audience wants. But after all these at least 30% movies come out every year, that matters. This proves you are a *beep* liar too.

Lol no *beep* genius that there are good and bad movies created by all industries. And that there are good movies in Bollywood and I happened to like the ones that are listed. It doesn't negate the fact that most of what is put out is mostly mindless garbage that doesn't require intricate thinking or planning.
And strong replying to a 4 year old post, seems like your ass is still on fire.

But he was directing that question to me without realizing I wasn't the one who said it. To make him seem more stupid that he is, I phrased it that way. And it worked.

very good view about bw.
In my case i only know one thing and that is bollywood is a place where most of the films are made which is inspired from hollywood,koreon movie and other foreign movies.Also music are also copied from other foreign language songs.Also In bollywood most of the film become hit only because of star power and hype created by it without having good story like movie gajini,bodyguard etc.

Sorry for the late response but yes, I agree with your statements as well. Good movies are not very well advertised it seems. Sometimes good movies likes Vicky Donor make the cut in becoming popular BW movies and also being great which is good, but rare.
I just saw a flick called "Bubble Gum", it was an original indian idea with great writing and acting and I loved just how raw and indian it was, amazing. Way better this garbage movie imo. Check it out, cheers.
