Ya bollywood mainstream films SUCK BALL SACKS!!! I watch world cinema, so I am what Jason would call "Evolved"...I love Italian, German, Chinese, Etc etc... THIS IS WHY I FEEL BOLLYWOOD SUCKS!!! While most films from different countries have a UNIQUENESS of their own in terms of culture, stories, etc, bollywood movies are always so obsessed with being as western as possible in every way....From foreign locations, to white background dancers, to random english words and hip hop...What's so Indian about these so called bollywood movies anymore??? Chinese films tell CHINESE STORIES... Italian films tell ITALIAN STORIES... Bollywood films mix every other culture and create absolutely nothing original in the process...Whether it's copying the story or the filmmaking style... There is only one positive unique quality about bollywood and that is the song/dance element since singing and dancing IS embedded in Indian culture (All festivals, weddings, etc)... When done well it works but bollywood lacks originality and the ability to look within... Instead they ALWAYS look for outside influence...World cinema rocks but bollywood has a LONNNG WAY TO GO... I think filmmakers like anurag kashyap, dibakar Banerjee and perhaps Ashutosh Gawarikar are the ONLY filmmakers that attemp new things in India...
