I have been having a lazy Sunday and so when we noticed Omni was playing a Bollywood (Indian) movie we decided to have a look – in the end we watched the entire thing. The movie, Main Hoon Na, has elements of comedy, action, drama, romance and of course the musical. It is interesting to watch an Indian movie because it they are utterly unique in a way that I don’t think would work in a North American movie.

The best part of Indian movies in my opinion are the dance/musical scenes and this one was no exception. If you’re ever interested in watching a Bollywood movie and have never watched one go out and rent Deepa Mehta’s Bollywood Hollywood…its a cool crossover movie made in Toronto. Mehta’s has made some more serious movies that I want to see still – Earth, Fire and Water (three separate movies).

Another movie worth seeing that has a small Bollywood influence is Bend It Like Bekham.
