Don't laugh for what i'm gonna post right now. Since the almighty king of Bollywood is coming to town, i'm gonna preview some of his popular movies. I have to say that SRK is good at picking up movie to role. None of his movies were sucks (as far as i know).
Most of you would have been considered Bollywood movies as a joke. It's true that sometimes all the dances and singing kinda makes us tired and sick of all the drama and romances. But i love them (especially if there's Hritikh Roshan in it). Most of them have good stories and plot. What i love about Bollywood movie is that besides the good musics, they also take a lot of great scenery and views in it.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)
This movie is.. Tragic. It's pathetic to see how human's destiny were being played by God. How they turned up to be in love while they already married and have a family of their own. Yeah this is a good movie for married couple or.. getting married. I ain't spoil much and fyi, this movie was a hit, even beat the famous Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham. I love this song very much btw (and New York of course).
Veer Zaara (2004)
This is one of SRK's movie i love. Mostly because the main actress is Preity Zinta. From all Bollywood's actresses, i love her the most (the second comes Kareena Kapoor). This movie is.. i don't know.. Should i call it tragic, ridiculous or stupid. This movie is about different country lovers, a Pakistani and an Indian. The movie teaches us to not see differences between people but to see them as equal. And this is a great poem Veer wrote that made me shed tears..

I, Prisoner No. 786, look through the bars of my cell
I see days, months, years change to eons,
From the soil of this land I can smell my Bauji's fields
The burning sun reminds me of my Maati's cool buttermilk
The rains come with the swings of many seasons
The winter fills me with the warmth of the Lodi fires
They say this isn't your country, then why does it feel like mine?
They say that I do not look like him, then why does he look like me?
I, Prisoner No. 786, look through the bars of my cell
I see an angel who has come down from heaven
She calls herself Saamiya, and she calls me Veer
She's a complete stranger, but she treats me as her family
Hearing her truthful words, I feel alive once again
Hearing her promises and vow, I want to feel life once more
They say she isn't related, then why does she fight the world for me?
They say I'm not like her, then why does she look like me?
I, Prisoner No. 786, look through the bars of my cell
I see my Zaara wrapped in the colours of my village
In making my dreams come true, she has forgotten her own
In serving my people, she has left behind her own
Now I want to fill her heart with joy
I feel I could live another lifetime for her
They say my country is not hers, then why does she stay in my home?
They say I'm not like her, then why does she look like me?

Ashoka (2001)
Ah.. Too easy to describe this movie, one word.. Sexy. Kareena Kapoor (her make up, her gesture, her tattoo, her body, her expressions aaahh she's perfect!), the scenery, the settings, the songs, the dances, the wardrobe.. This movie is very artistic. The story is so much alike with Romeo and Juliet, heir from feuding kingdoms. They didn't end up suicide but.. teehee i'm not gonna spoil more.
Haha.. So yes.. Bollywood is full of drama, love and tragedy. But the film maker surely know how to make the movies beautiful. They showed us the beauty of their country India, the panoramic, the culture, etc. Nowadays Bollywood movies are maturer and increasingly recognized by international, even Hollywood. Let's see.. there are Slumdog Millionaire, My name is Khan, and 3 idiots. All of them teaches us good things. I think Indonesian film maker must learn much from them. Do you folks agree with me? :)
