Bollywood Movies.

I just saw a Bollywood movie Full house. It is pretty funny. I saw a Bollywood movie after aeons and I have to say that the face of Bollywood has changed drastically.

Earlier the Bollywood movies had almost the same story line. Which went something like this:
There is a boy, who is poor. He has to take care of his, family...his family included a Mother who is blind, a father who is handicapped or suffering from tuberculosis and of course a sister who is in urgent need to get married. The burden of taking care of the whole family is on his shoulders. Educated as he is he can't find a job and thus has to do a labourers job of laying bricks. One day while doing so he falls in love with a rich girl, she loves him back. They both sing in gardens holding hands, dance at exotic places which with his meagre salary he can't afford but still manages. The boy meets the girls parents. Parents insult him, lock the girl in her room, she runs away using bedsheets and towels as a rope. Father gets angry, he hatches an evil plan to kill the boy. He sends his best HitMen to kill the boy, the boy is so strong he kills them all. In the meantime the boy has also abandoned his family to start a new life, ofcourse now that he has met the love of his life who cares about his sister's wedding, mothers eyesight or fathers illness. He hears the news that his sister has been kidnapped and abused, ashamed, she killed herself as that was only option left for her because police does not give a damn. Hurt and angry, he decides to take revenge. He is one mans army. He enters the palatial house of her girl friend's father which has more security that the Langley. He beats all the bad guys up with his bare hands and the father is left defeated, with no Goons, he surrenders. The boy is about to kill the girls father when the girl walks in and beg for her fathers life. He loves her so much that he spares it. Seeing the boys immense love or his daughter his heart melts and he gives all his property to the boy. Now everyone is happy. The End.

That was the basic concept of Bollywood movies not so long back with slight variations, maybe. The girls always wore saris except when dancing in the parks. These saris have been replaced by bikinis and shortest of all the shorts. The boys are no longer poor in fact on the contrary they are so rich they don't even have to work. Nobody knows what the boy is doing anymore. The fighting scenes have been replaced by comedy acts that have been carefully selected from a lot Hollywood movies that we don't hear of in india. Only the one thing that has persistently remained are the Songs for every occasion. We have songs for everything, like when we are happy, when we are sad, when someone is born, when someone dies, when they meet, when they are apart...even when a song is not exactly required. Not only that we even have Dances for every occasion which are completely synchronised, even the public knows all the steps and dance moves. Hats off to our Bollywood movies. SIGH!!! What would we do without the usual jhatka and Matkas, or without our action heros and sultry heroins.
