Lajja

Lajja is a truly well done Bollywood film. Apparently it didnt do well in India, which in my opinion is because it isn't your typical Indian movie with a love story and a few "item" songs. This movie is about the lives of 4 women and the other women surrounding their lives/ stories. The main actress is Manisha. Her husband is a "modern" husband with no morals. He wants her to have their child and then kill her so the child can be his heir. She finds out and runs all over India to find refuge where she meets the other 3 women: Mahima Chaudary, Madhuri Dixit, and Rekha. I rate it 5 stars!

Dil Chahta Hai

Dil Chahta Hai is a movie starring Aamir Khan, Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan, and Akshaye Khanna. It is about 3 guys who are troubled in their own type of love problem. Aamir's character doesn't believe in love just fun. Saif's character is too naive in love and Akshaye's character has no time for love and when he does fall for a woman much older than him, he is criticized by society. It is a very funny and touching movie. I have seen it over 10 times :)

Ali Larter

Ali Larter is one of my favorite actresses. Not only is she really pretty, she is very convincing. She did a great job in the "Heroes" series as a woman with an alter ego and super strength with a son to protect at all costs. She has also done an Indian movie with Salman Khan called "Marigold" and she was Claire in the "Resident Evil" movie series. Keep it up Ali!

Aarzoo (1999)

Aarzoo is a Bollywood movie featuring Akshay Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, and Saif Ali Khan in the leading roles. This movie is about a young girl named Pooja who falls in love with pilot Vijay and her childhood friend Aman who secretly loves Pooja. It is a very interesting movie. It reminds me of Akshay Kapoor's other movies called the "Khiladi" movies. An old time classic mystery/ action movie.


Btw Happy Holidays everyone!

Beta (1992)

Beta is a somewhat old movie but very interesting indeed. I personally loved this movie. Its about a man who lost his mother upon birth and hence his father remarries to bring him a mother figure. Except she ends up being very greedy and has no humanity. All goes well for the step-mother until her step-son marries an educated woman who plans to bring an end to her evil mother-in-law's reign. Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit make a spectacular performance in this funny movie. A must-watch!

Salaam-e-Ishq: A tribute to love

This Bollywood movies features several "big" Indian actors such as Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, and Priyanka Chopra. It is about 5 love stories and one short comedic one. Each story tells has its own message (about love of course) and the actors do a great job pulling the message through. Not only is the movie funny but its also very touching. I highly recommend it . For non-hindi speakers I suggest subtitles ;)

Akshay Kumar

In my opinion, Akshay Kumar is one of Bollywood's best actors EVER. Not only is he the king of comedy, he also does most of his stunts himself (not using a stunt double). Not to mention his good looks ;) I highly recommend his "Khiladi" movies and also other movies such as: Heyy Babyy, Welcome, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, etc.
