I have Bend it Like Beckham on DVD. Does that count? I've also seen bits of Bollywood Hollywood and The Guru.

I guess they all come under the Bollywood banner! Even though the films that you mention were not actually produced in India. At least, I know that Bend it like Beckham was produced in the UK and also the same for The Guru. But I think Bollywood Hollywood may have been produced in India.

But anyway, since this site is primarily American, I'm wondering just how much interest the average American has for Indian movies! I'm guessing not much by the looks of things!!

I've seen bits of a lot of Bollywood movies, but I don't know the titles (sorry!). They're always playing then on the TV at this Indian restaurant that I love to go to. Also, Sunday afternoons there's Bollywood on TV, sometimes I'll watch that.

I 1st found Indian cinema in my final, fieldwork term from Moorlands Mission course: I chose to go to London's Tower Hamlets, Stepney & Mile End just after the Brick Lane race riots of 1979 "Winter of Discontent"

Many would kindly come & say, "Would you like me to translate for you?"

I always said that the style of acting is so graphic that words are unnecessary: great feel-good films, yes?

I wonder if old foreign films count like Seven Samari and High and Low. Or are you talking about movies like Amelia and Life is Beautiful?
