Bollywood Dhamaka

I saw three hindi movies in the past 10 days....there I said it. That's the highest concentration of film-dose I have had in my life (including my time in India). The movies in question, Dhoom 2, Bhagam Bhag and Salaam-e-ishq were quite ok actually. The reason for the sudden spurt in Hindi movie viewing is that now I have company watching the movies. To be truthful, I wasn't sure about watching S-e-I...I was worried it might be a typical Chopra/Johar/Barjatya crap...so cheesy, u get fat just watching it. But it wasn't...To be sure, I was afraid, that when Vidya Balan had her second accident she would miraculously regain her memory. But thankfully nothing of the sort happened. One complaint I have with desi film-makers is the proliferation of "Hip-Hop" music in the songs (note the quote-marks). It's irritating and sometimes outright revolting. Just make good desi music why don't they.
