Maybe a little explanation is necessary

I realised how absolutely frivolous my last post was about hindi movies so i thought a little explanation was necessary. Most people think(and im not saying that they're completely wrong), that hindi movies are nonsensical. That they're ridiculous especially when suddenly the hero bursts into song and everyone around him dances in tune doing the exact same steps with co-ordinated outfits. Or when the guy and girl are in some gorgeous location probably very cool(as in temperature) and all she's wearing is a sheer chiffon sari and they're being all romantic. But what most people(obviously talking about Westerners and those who scoff at such hindi movies) is that these movies have an actual purpose in our lives and they're actually not that different from hollywood movies in the comedy and chick lit genre, albeit with some song and dance.

I mean think about it, if all bolywood churned out were serious movies with NO song and dance and pretty clothes and happy endings and dream sequences in gorgeous foreign locations, then all we'd see is normal life that's depressing and dull. The conventional Bollywood blockbluster chock full with things many people criticise about, provide ENTERTAINMENT. In its truest form. I know that when I watch a bollywood flick, i really DO forget or at least push aside my problems for a while and let the movie make me happy. At the end, since there's usually a happy ending, one feels lighter and if i may be so bold as to say, more positive and capable of dealing with our problems. They kinda give hope in a sense. Like you're watching this hero defeat all odds to get his love or u're watching this righteous policeman succeed in his attempt to thwart terrorists and you feelt hat hey! maybe i can solve my OWN problems too! I mean at least for a few hours your mind is given a rest from worrying(i know mine is).

And this goes for all movies out there that smart and sophisticated people say are fluff and nonsensical, not just bollywood ones. Besides, Bollywood does come out with serious films too and those, can be mind-blowing. Hence, my gushing about the hindi movie i had watched is justified at least to me anyway, via this explanation i have just typed. And on that note, i shall end.

And must move on to finding a second part-time job(preferably in f&b) and build up my wardrobe. maybe even take up a new dance! wish me luck!
