14 The Myth of the Bollywood Actress Turned Hooker
After two Indian actresses were arrested for prostitution last month, an old story has made new rounds: actresses are available for the right price. It starts with demand. Men love the Bollywood actresses who gyrate across screens barely clothed. They're the polar opposite of the country's real women, who are covered from neck to toe in baggy pants and tunics. And it doesn't help that the Read more
Bet you never thought the words Hitler and Bollywood would be in same sentence intentionally. First-time director Rakesh Ranjan Kumar is set to start filming My Dear Friend Hitler next month. Named for how Gandhi once began a letter to the former führer, it reveals the surprisingly friendly German-Indian relationship. Hitler praised India during World War II in an attempt to woo loyalty away Read more
Last week we talked about the new workouts you wanted to try and today we're adding another to the list: Masala Bhangra. For those of you not familiar with Masala Bhangra, it's similar to the energetic dance numbers seen in Bollywood cinema and the worldwide hit Slumdog Millionaire. Created by expat Sarina Jain, the hour-long cardio workout incorporates sliding steps, squats, jumps, turns, and Read more
Hollywood and Bollywood have had a longstanding, if sometimes fraught, love affair, and there's a rich history of inspiration and exchange between the two film production powerhouses. So it makes sense that celebrities on this side of the Pacific would want to emulate the lavish looks from Subcontinental cinema, as well as Indian culture, more widely. They sometimes don't get it right, though Read more
I was just asking you guys if you go to the movies alone, and here we have some news about that very thing. Only this news is way more bizarre than just taking in a Saturday matinee by oneself. A 30-year-old man in India, Pavin Ponanna, bought all the seats to a showing of the horror film Phoonk, just so he could watch the movie alone. Why? Apparently the film's director, Bollywood Read more
On one hand, the CB2 Bollywood Pillow ($19.95) kind of cracks me up, and I like its monochromatic look. On the other hand, unless you happen to be a bona-fide film buff, I think it's kind of a strange thing to own, let alone display on your couch. What do you think? Love It or Hate It? CB2 Bollywood Pillow Love it Hate it Undecided Read more
If we think that the Bollywood music vids of today look and sound like madness run amok, then imagine what they delivered back in the '80s. Hmm. . .a bouncy sequined mess of cheesy choreography coupled with an ensemble of spazoids posing as second-rate cheerleaders while wearing cheap, over-sized animal head masks? Why yes, that's exactly what Bollywood served up in the '80s! Surprise, surprise. Read more
I love that Ben, the guy who made up the "translation" for this Bollywood video, feels compelled to tell us, "This is not a real translation. It's just what I think it sounds like." Well, what do you know! You mean, "Would you mustard my hole with a genie, baby?" isn't really one of the lyrics? I'm actually kinda disappointed. Read more
By improved, I mean these lyrics make absolutely no sense, but their incoherence is our hilarity. Case in point: "Come see me eat nipples, eat nipples, eat nipples." Actually, color me unsurprised if Heidi Klum drops this line in her next commercial spot for Victoria's Secret. You just wait . . . Get Flash to see this player. var so827386 = new Read more
This just in from the Bollywood PSA vault: the 6-minute long condom song. It's got animation, sing-a-long lyrics, wacky mascots, and even a dancing chorus, but I'm not sure if a guy dressed as a condom and issuing threats is gonna do the trick... Read more
