So... I could ask about for some recommended English language Bollywood DVDs, if you wish -- it looks as though it's the only other alternative.


Well, the only two english Bollywood movies that were suggested have already made it to the US theatres, but here's the short list that was given to me:

Quote:
1-monsoon wedding(hinglish)
2-bend it like beckam(hinglish)
3- satya (good one)
4-pyassa, kagaz ke phool (check out gurudutt directed films,oldies)
5-mughal-e-azam(classic)
6-utsav
7-umrao jaan
8-bandit queen
9-kaamsutra (erotic)
10-sholay (ultimate hindi experience!)
also check out amitabh bachhan films like diwaar etc. then there are
masoom, arth, sarransh etc ("art films")
