I'm going to have to start watching some of the Bollywood productions. The concepts certainly seem more creative than the crap that's coming from our very own Hollyweird. Previews and stuff that I've seen make it seem that it's like 1950s-60s Hollyweird but with CG. But, if that's the case, Ranji may be their Elvis...

I wanna see it! Wonder if Netflix will have it.

I'm still waiting for a Bollywood version of Goodfellas.

I just can't abide musical theater, regardless of origin. The last good musical I saw was "The Sound of Music" (ok, maybe "Marat/Sade").

Call me arrogant, but I'm a believer that musical theater, these days in the US of A, exists for the benefit of wealthy suburban women, needing outings, with neither the depth nor sophistication to appreciate opera.

Umm wow I don't know if I should laugh or go hide in a corner. My gosh it's like they gave a movie studio to a 10 year old boy with ADD after he chugged a Redbull and a hit of Speed and let him make a movie.

I thought 3hr+ musicals were something but that is completely out of control.

Looks worth renting. I'll watch it.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.
