Bollywood Thriller
And by thriller, I don't mean a fast-pasted, bad acting film genre. I'm talking the leather clad, hip gyrating, lurking in the shadows of the night, Michael Jackson THRILLER!
I wonder what the lyrics to this song are? Is it Jackson or something different entirely.
But being an impressionable child of the 80's, I watched MJ's Thriller ten times over and couldn't resist miming his outrageous dance moves at the next Halloween Bash.
The dance moves and the crowd of zombie followers is almost a DEAD match to the video that scared that pants off me as a child. Maybe I could tell then that one day MJ would grow up to be the monster that he portries in his video.
This Bollywood version is equally as fantastic. I love how the classic zombie dance is adaptsed to the cultural style of India rather than exactly coping the MJ moves.
And the face on this Bollywood stud is frightening...maybe he did learn something from MJ after all.

to the uninformed from the ever so slightly informed.
so to ask when the first breakthrough Indian movie will occur is more or less asking when Indian will forget about their past and assimilate with our more Western view of the entertainment. I would say that is still a ways away.

DAMN IT ><
If Narrative is Universal...
I guess what I'm trying to say, in an insensitive, ignorant way is that where is the breakout Indian film? Bet you can name a dozen European or Asian films. Africa and Russia are kind of a mess economically, but India's film industry is thriving. Yet, you don't see any Indian films, outside of Mira Nair or "Bride and Prejudice" lighting up American movie theaters. Just wondering what gives?
