I've never seen a Bollywood movie. To put it quite bluntly, I'm 13 years old and I've never really showed interest in Bollywood movies, since I'm not indian and I feel I wouldn't enjoy it as much, but this movie does seem very interesting. So what do you people think?
shareit was epic

stay away, its a stupid movie. Really really stupid. Over the top action. All emotional drama, songs, dance, action in single movie . Making it a khichdi movie without proper script. If u have gud taste, u wud hate it. u may try following movies:
Delhi Belly
Rang de Basanti
Masaan
Ship of theseus
Dev D
Aankhon Dekhi
A Wednesday
You'll very likely laugh at the hyper steroid induced alpha male portrayals and blatant misogynism. The CGI effects are crappy too, when you compare it with the latest english movies. Last but not least, no respect to physics like most telugu movies.
shareWow, what? There was no misogyny.

You want to start your Bollywood Journey, here is the Intro Guide -
Family Movie - Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum
Crime Saga - Gangs of Waaseypur
This is NOT a Bollywood movie. It's a Tollywood movie.
shareSame here: never really watched Bollywood. I'd say it is nice and entertaining, the singing and dancing isn't too dominant and it has nice colours and a slightly different approach to the "epic". That said films about epic stuff rarely cut it and this one dips into that pool way too much as well. It is overdrawn and glossy in the extreme and could be considered reminiscent of a crossing between Troy and Cinderella. Good and evil stand in stark contrast, we are supposed to "ooh" and "aah" at all the glorious moments, while really I simply had to smirk.
Well: it's not like I hadn't watched a dozen altogether flat "epic" hollywood productions for pure entertainment and a laugh - why not this one? I liked it. It has a different way of telling its story which bestranged me at times and appeared somewhat absurd to me. That's good! It may give us an impression of bollywood story telling I imagine, if heavily influenced by hollywood titles. In the end the average hollywood film is just as absurd, only that we no longer notice, being used to that specific kind of absurdities whereas this one is different.
Although nowhere near "my new favourite film" still worth the watch for me ;)
