Bollywood Culture

I’ve been contemplating the idea of starting a new blog on Hindi Cinema popularly called Bollywood and another blog on Indian Comic Books for a while. Yayawar Ki Diary (my other blog) has posts on Bollywood & Comics, but sometimes I have thoughts or trivia that can only be shared on a Dedicated Blog. So starting this one dedicated to Bollywood.

In India nothing sells like Bollywood. It’s a cult, it’s a culture in itself. Even if some intellectuals will refuse to accept Bollywood as a culture, it has been accepted universally. Have a look at this Video from ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ where Semi-Finalist couple Joshua & Katee perform a dance style that they call The Bollywood Dance.

They think Bollywood Dance is a dance form from India. It was funny but true (atleast for me) Bollywood as a culture has its own ‘Cultural Dance’. May be some people will discard it as Latka-Jhatka, so whenever a Shakira asks Farah Khan to help her getting her Latka-Jhatkas right or a Nicole Kidman dances to the beats of Chhamma Chhamma in Moulin Rouge! Bollywood is acknowledged as a cultural connotation to India & Indian Culture.

What do you say???
