I just realized there's a Bollywood movie made in the late 60's called
"Love in Tokyo"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0157944/

Lots of pictures of the movie in this site:
http://www.brns.com/bollywood/pages1/bolly35.html

There's also a song called: "Sayonara Sayonara" by Lata Mangeshkar. Listen here if ya wanna:
http://www.raaga.com/channels/hindi/movie/H000717.html

I remember watching it like 2 years ago on TV, and it was so awesome in a 60's retro kinda way. Incidently, it was shot right after the 64 Olympics.

Well, I'm not into Bollywood but I love some of the movies, like Kal Ho Na Ho. I think that is the best movie yet in Bollywood. Maybe the power of Shah Rukh Khan makes it perfect, and I have to say that he is the King of Bollywood now.


I love him

What do you mean they are brothers?

My husband introduced me to Bollywood...I enjoy it...the women in their saris are so beautiful and the men are always handsome. I read that there is never any kissing in a Bollywood movie...it's considered immoral so the most the lovers will do is hug. Is that right?

I like Lara Dutta

That used to be case about 15 years ago. Now they're as dirty as the West, but it's not so mainstream. I think kissing you can find in any movie, but going beyond that is still a lil' rare. They have the average "make out" scene now and again, but I guess it's still a lil' taboo. Bollywood is in the midst of breaking out of that mold.

And I think Shah Rukh should retire.

do they dare have ppl copulating from different castes?

i find the caste system so incredibly forward thinking and progressive.

LOL! I "think" the caste system isn't as important as it was in history (especially through colonialism). O'course, I can't be sure since I'm not Indian, but it seems that way in the larger cities, etc. Prolly changes when you head out towards the country.

makes sense.....skin color is so important in deciding the worth of a person

Of course not, but it wasn't really about the skin colour to begin with. That's a gross misinterpretation that seems to have forced itself to becoming a fake truth.

O, and ganmo, to add to my answer to your question. It's sorta like in Japanese dramas, how kissing wasn't very common until recently, and even now, for the most part (but no always), the kissing is heavily glorified.

I think Bollywood is a lil' more advanced than Japan when it comes to the physical aspect of love and affection being portrayed in films/dramas.

perhaps but you're conveniently excluding the VAST japanese adult video industry which is mad frieky, to put it mildly....

I didn't mean to exlcude that industry, I was just referring to the more mainstream forms of entertainment available to the general public, like film and TV dramas. So yea, excluding the "adult" video. Keep in mind that India prolly has something similar, and if not in the form of film, they have a HUGE sex trade problem.

On a side note, I highly recommand ya'll watch Born into Brothels.
