Hooray for Bollywood

[glengarry]

 So we watched Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham last night.  I loved loved loved it.  A few movie club regulars didn't or couldn't make it and I wanted to put down some thoughts about Bollywood movies in general to try and explain their appeal.

K3G is, it must be said, 3 hours and 30 minutes long, and simply cannot be related to without accepting that

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Regarding standard running times of films... I think they have steadily gotten shorter and shorter -- more like 90 minutes now, rather than two hours -- due to pressure from theater owners and investors, who would prefer to screen a film 7, 8, or 9 times in a day, rather than just 5 or 6 times, so it can make more money.
