Shownotes:

"Who are you waiting for?  I'm right here..."

So begins the title song for the Bollywood film, "Main Hoon Na".  Today's Cinéfolle is an all singing, all dancing, and (by way of Purl Diving, my other podcast) an all knitting extravaganza!

Cool!
Another bollywood that would be a good first for beginners is Bride and Prejudice. The story is familar so you can more enjoy the differences and fun a bollywood movie brings. I tend not to be able to keep the names straight.

Aarlene, Bride and Prejudice is on my To Watch list -- and I think you're right, providing a familiar story makes it easier for the viewer. The film I mentioned, Arjun Pandit, was *really* complicated with the issues of duty to family and good vs evil and whatnot.

I really liked Mehta's film, too, because the western setting helps in the same way as a familiar storyline would.

(Man, you downloaded *that* fast -- Rob only went to the library this afternoon to put the files up!)

Well, I like to check the good stuff. Got the feed thingy. My weather alert thing kept chirping at me today too. It friggin' SNOWED here this evening! UNBELIEVABLE... I can't remember the last time it snowed period much less in APRIL... West Central Louisiana

I just love the way they sing and dance in those movies, and the music too.

I must find a way to get Netflix to see a wider array of movies. Local Blockbuster has only the newest releases, mostly. I also adore Turner Classic Movies. I watch that almost exclusively when I do watch tv. That and the public channel.
