Interested in Bollywood, but don't know where to start? I was asked by my mom to put together a top 10 list of movies I recommend. Here they are.10 Great Bollywood Movies:
1) Veer Zaara - great movie - horrid acting at the start - stick with it, it's worth it.
2) Barfi! won 11 awards in 2013 - earned every one plus some it didn't. Wonderfully acted. Homages to Charlie Chaplin and Ranbir Kapoor's grandfather.
4) Lagaan - my hubby's first Bollywood movie - he loved it - centers around a love triangle and a cricket match and unfair taxes.
5) Ghajini - murder mystery love story. You ain't seen deep pathos until you see this film - basically a remake of Memento but WAY better.
6) Kites - mystery - they kiss - something bad has to happen. Set in Mexico - stars Hrithik and a famous Mexican actress. Don't see Kites Remixed - it sucks.
7) Swades - based on a true story - NASA scientist returns to India decides to stay - love story - dealing with corruption, masala. Shahrukh - wonderful movie.
9) Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham - family/father/son relationship movie with arranged marriages and adoption providing the plot. Don't watch this unless you have lots of tissues and make sure to hydrate yourself. I ran out of tears about 15 minutes before the end and it was really painful because I still had a lot of crying to do.
10) Dhobi Ghat - drama - no music. Really good thought provoking movie.
This list includes movies by all the great actors working today. Shahrukh, Hrithik, Aamir, Amitabh, Kajol, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Kukerji and more. See these and you will have a good idea of who the famous actors are and why they are famous as well as a good understanding of the wide variety of types of movies that are being made in India.
Enjoy.
