Okay there never used to be any kissing or nudity in the movies in bollywood, now it seems that some of the actresses and actors are begging to take their clothes off and be scandalous, i think it is partly america's fault because our movies are riskay, i can say that because i am american, but why do indian movie makers feel they have to compete with that, bollywood movies were awesome without all the gunk.

I guess that pressure to conform to western ways is really strong.

Plus I don't share your views on Bollywood films, I think apart from a few classics mainly from the 80s (i.e. Sholay, Mother India, Deewar and the like), they were always pretty ****.

This is exactly the reason why I only watch comedy movies and movies that are based on true stories (e.g. Bhagat Singh)

The bollywood movies nowadays are getting too influenced by the western culture. It is very saddening that this is occuring as i love watching traditional movies.

The world is an everchanging place and we just have to accept it.

dear dawny

i am really surprised that as an american you watch indian movies.
in india urban youths are madly running after western material culture
the more western you are the more respect you get from your friends.
but if you are traditional then you have to face mockery from your friends.
so naturally bollywood films will give youths what they want to see.
