Slumdog Millionaire was good. The Lunchbox is supposed to be really good but I've never seen it. The Abu trilloogy is supposed to be great but I thought it was just boring as fuck.

Just the women with the sapphire eyes and sexy bodies.

Slumdog Millionaire is a British film, Apu Trilogy is Bengali not Hindi (Bollywood)
>>
>>64404559
He kind of has a point though.
Bollywood is as shite as Hollywood tbqhf.
There are some really great Indian films though.
>>
As someone who has seen most of those movies (on both sides), that's some top-notch shitposting.

As for good Bollywood movies:
Dabangg - GOAT flick
Rann - film
A Wednesday - film
Chennai Express - kino
>>
Are there any good Nollywood movies?

I understand the production values are universally bad and I accept that but I've watched about a dozen of them in the hopes of finding something entertaining but they all feel like those Mexican telenovela things. Like, a guy wants to marry a local bigwig's daughter but he doesn't own enough cattle. That's 90% of them. Also half the dialogue is in Yoruba

>>64404861

No, unlike India where there are a few great films Nollywood is literally nothing but trash. Aside from a few good Senegalese films Sub-Saharan African cinema is nothing but absolute garbage.
>>
>>64404559
Eh man better get used to it cause they are gonna dominate the market in a few years & there will be nothing but movies pandering to chinks and indians.
>>
Don 1 and 2 (the remakes) are my GOAT. They're incrediblr

Kill Bill was copied from Lady Snowblood, actually.

>>64404559
How did he come to some of these conclusions?
>>
Sunny Leone
>>
>>64404559
No there arent and let me tell you why. Every movie directed is not made for the crowd but rather for the actors. Take a look at any Shahrukh Khan movie for example. Its literally the same formula used with absolutely nothing ground breaking.
>>
>>64404559
This guy is so fucking full of shit. It's crazy how much Bollywood rips off from Hollywood. I say that as Indian myself
>le poo loo

I just download Ship of Theseus the other day. Anybody know if it's any good?

Watch Lagaan. its the only GOAT indian movie

Disregarding a multi-billion dollar film industry just because it isn't American?

Fuck off you fat burger faggot.

The cinema built into my local mall plays Indian movies occasionally. Once or twice a year, I like to get high as balls in the parking lot and go to a screening by myself early in the day on a weekday. It's a very chill, surreal experience, at least until some brown fucker who thinks I can speak whatever language the film is in tries to converse with me.

PK is my favorite simply because it's the only one I've seen that was actually original instead of a generic action movie or romantic comedy.

Bollywood (and 90% of Indian men) are literal manchildren

>>64405360

Rahim, none of your films are good. Just because shit-huffing 70 IQ mutants go to see it in droves does not mean they're good films.

Amir Khan likes doing different shit. Too bad he's switching to the generic shit.
>>
>>64405360

>multi-billion dollar

The highest grossing Indian film of all time made $100 million. Bollywood sells lots of tickets but only to poor slumdwellers who pay less than a dollar a ticket.

According to my brothers Indian wife Gangs of Wasseypur is suppose to be good, even by regular standards and not just Bollywood standards. It's sort of like the Indian Godfather apparently.

>Abhay: 2001

Try again Curry Nigger

Only thing Abhay inspired him to do was an animated sequence, rest of the movie was lifted from Lady Snowblood.

Why not go see real, patrician foreign films?

There used to be some good directors that went against the norms and did different shit. Too bad they all switched sides for more money.
>>
>>64405533

So it's probably a 4/10.

More than likely, although he's been forced to watch a few and that's the only one he would recommend.

>>64405640
Sadly this. There was hope but its fucked now.

who here brampton
>>
>>64405589
Nobody screens high-quality foreign films around where I live. The art houses just do regular indie garbage.

Plus, Bollywood fair is usually so paint-by-numbers that I don't have to think or even pay attention to the subs really to understand it, which makes it great for watching while high.

That's pretty good.
Anurag Kashyap also makes pretty good movies, and I liked Rang De Basanti.

People think that Bollywood = Indian movies, which is very far from the truth.

(reposting from old thread)
Films by Satyajit Ray, Mani Kaul, Amit Dutta are basically in line with European arthouse.
Anurag Kashyap is a contemporary director who makes gritty, realistic (i.e. no dancing) films that are also surprisingly popular.
Ship of Theseus is a recent Indie film that was surprisingly original and very philosophical and non-Bollywood. Also the director is a karagarga user.
