TSR Bollywood Society

None of us are saying anything about the "real" India, all we're doing is discussing Bollywood. We're not trying to convince ourselves of anything. Now if you don't have a point, kindly be on your way.

ta for the rep hon have you seen that famous guy again? and oo do you think any of them live in nottingham? hehe

no probs Which famous guy do you mean?

oh the one you said you and your boyfriend spot all the time? or was that someone else?

SRK is old as hell! Plus, he smokes, and I hate smokers!

saw the preview for Krrish,it's supposed to be a sequel to another movie...anyone seen it?

Oooo Shah Rukh Khan? hehe that was just a one off time when my boyfriend went to a fancy dinner in London where he met Shah Rukh Khan. I wasn't there unfortunately as I was on holiday.

Damn he's sooooo lucky!!!Did he get to talk to him properly??

Yeah they spoke for about 15 minutes, about all sorts of stuff! And Shah Rukh asked him if he had a girlfriend, so I got a mention! ;w00t;

of course i'm not you idiot did you even read half of what i said? of course in the movies,they won't show you everything about india,especially the bad parts,but at least they glorify the good and some bad bits,and we appreciate it. you're just trying to pick a fight. i appreciate what i see,what i think is bad is that you see something and forget about it. at least when i watch the movies, i don't think hmmm...'yup a lot of stupid people' etc etc, i think 'wow such a lively and vibrant culture,such respect etc etc' and that's better than nothing. unless i find a indian/hindi movie store,i won't get to see all the other movies,i rely on my friends at other unis who just happened to find a hindi/indian movie and can pass it on,which is just great IMO. so yes,like i said earlier,don't judge and go somewhere and pick a fight.

lol.... u think u r worth fighting with? please......

i am merely looking at how ironical it is that u NRIs want to connect and identify with "indians" and "india" per se but dont really watch anything which isnt sugar coated...

perhaps if u were to watch those movies ive mentioned before and then u come to bombay and spend a week u will realize how ironic the situation is.

another thought: dont ever say the real india is full of bad **** because that just pissed me off. u never put it in that words but someone above said something which moreorless meant that the "real" india is not as good as the "sugar coated" BS. if u make a **** comment like that it speaks volumes of ur ignorance.

first don't call us names, second of all moron, i didn't say india was bad, or ****, i said it had some bad parts like any other coutry. don't call me ignorant, because i come from an african country and i've seen real **** everyday, and you can compare what is happening to india and africa,although i think i'd say it's a bit worse in africa. and i didn't say i was only going to watch sugar coated versions,someone else mentioned that they did to break away from harsh reality,but even so,excuse for not wanting to see death and destruction in the media 24/7. Also i'm not looking for a fight from you or anyone,you're not worth it,there are better people and more important issues i can waste my energy and time on so don't fool yourself that you're important. and you really aren't reading what i wrote,because i said these films you're talking about,i haven't seen them because they are not available in my nearest video store,if they were i would have at least glimpsed one of them,so it's not any fault of mine. and nobody said they wanted to connect to indians or indians (i know i didn't) and even if i did,there's nothing bad about wanting to. please please read my previous posts carefully,i didn't say india was a ****/bad place at all. i think it's a beautiful country and i've always wanted to go,especially to the rural areas to experience the culture and basically to experience it. i know real indians suffer to get on day by day,it happens, and i don't look down on them at all. they're people like everyone else that should be given respect. so please don't say things that aren't trure. if you want to highlight certain part of my posts to make a point,go ahead,but don't misquote me or say something i didn't say. thanks.
