I'm looking for some bollywood dvd's.

Is there anything you can recommend? Or one that you like sooo much?

Thanks a lot

Slumdog Millionaire?
:-)

Depends on what you would like to watch.
A good way to start is start watching movies starring Shah Rukh Khan
And if you are Wild Wild West fan then I recommend Sholay

Some of my favourites :

Romance : Dilwale Dulanhiya le jayenge (DDLJ) (SRK) , Kaho na pyaar hai (starring Hritik roshan)

Comedy : Andaaz apna apna , Golmaal, No entry(seen over 5 times still funny), Dhamaal

Off beat : Wednesday

Historical : Jodha Akbar (watch for Hritik and Aishwarya Rai)

By the way there are website where U can watch bollywood movies

Generally English sub-titles are good for Shahrukh Khan movies since they get released overseas, for other movies the sub titles are not upto the mark..

Namastay London is also a good one...

My ol' favourite tearjerker is Khabi Kushi Khabi Gam.
Anything with Kajol in it (she's so adorable). Newer ones - Hrithik Roshan is a good bet. Arjun Rampal is very dishy but I don't know how good his movies are -- anyone care to enlighten me?

I have liked only 1 of Arjuns movie so far.. hes not the lead though, SRK is.. its 'Om Shanti Om', lovely songs too, and the new actress Deepika, shes good too , I saw this one in a theatre in Zurich, the sub titles were spot on..

--
correction -- liked Arjuns 'Rock on ' as well..

I agree , shes in DDLJ too, this movie is SRK-Kajol must watch..

Hum Tum another good movie and old comedy Chupke Chupke or Angoor or Andaz apna apna.
Dil chata hai is another favorite among all my friends.
Recently Jaane tu ya Jane na has beed enojyed by many.

Andaz apna apna is a riot

Chupke Chupke, one with Dharmendra ? such a sweeet ever lasting comedy..

What about the old Golmaal (Amol Palekar), better than the new one right.

That's the one I remember and I used to watch it with my "almost Tamil gf" back in SA. I was able to utter a few words too like Namaste Pyaar Kare... if it is correct

How about Veer-Zaara ?

WOW - thanks so much for all the great recommendations

Wish you all a great weekend.

There is a Bollywood adaptation of Pride & Prejudice I've seen not too long ago. Was quite lovely !!!
I think it was called "Bride & Prejudice"

Water- part of a trilogy? Earth/Fire by the same director.
The most un-Bollywood Bollywood film- not a dance in sight.
Water is one the most moving films i've seen, it get's a little cliched, but it is fantastic and an insight into Indian culture.
I'm not into movies and I had to get (borrow/beg/buy) this film three time to see the ending, (dodgy CD/player) but I did it. It's that good.
Dark though.

My husband and my father both enjoy watching old Golmaal.

Ooo... I borrowed Water/Earth/Fire from the Cham library. Excellent trilogy; I'd highly recommend it. At least there was a tiny ray of hope at the end of Water.

Please don't miss Jaane bhi do yaaron...It is a laugh riot!

Regards,
Suchitra

hi

dont miss sholay and other ones from bachachs if u get hold of. black a bit sad but magnificient performance.
have fun

Laagan, if you enjoy cricket and really epic David v. Goliath tales.

Dil Chatha Hai- it started a new wave of movies with more western notions of character development and realistic storylines. It still has all the music and stuff, though- it has one of the cutest little fantasy song and dance numbers I've seen in recent movies.

Bunty aur Bubli- its a movie about a pair of con artists, and is good fun.

Jodhaa Akbar- great story, historically likely to be utter nonsense, but fabulously shot, great songs, and very pretty to watch.

Umrao Jaan - the old Rekha version is MUCH better storywise than the new Aishwariya Rai version. Think the Indian version of Memories of a Geisha.

And if you're into Indian movies, you need to see Sholay. I must have watched it a hundred times since I was a kid, and it still has the power to suck me into the story.
