Mariyam Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Take a look at this video: Gori hain Kalaiyan It pretty much covers all the major Chit Chat topics on the website. For the benefit of @velu and others who do not understand Hindi and/or are generally slow, let me explain: The video is from the movie Aaj ka Arjun, from 1990. A time of deep turmoil and cataclysmic changes in the country. The songs starts with Gauri (Jaya Prada) asking Bheema (Amitabh Bachchan) to buy her green bangles. Seems like an innocuous request. But its layered meaning is well masked. 1) Tu la de mujhe hari hari chudiyan. I have never heard a girl request for specifically for green bangles. This has to be a passive aggressive attempt by Bollywood to appease Muslims, at the behest of the central government. You know, as Muslims don't watch movies otherwise. 2) The names are also chosen quite strategically. Bheema (indicating a person from the lower strata of the society, possibly a follower of Dr Ambedkar) is harassed by Gauri ( a forward caste damsel) into buying her new bangles, which would only result in further economic ruin of Bheema. 3) At 4:39-4:40 Bheema slaps Gauri for no real reason and she is unconscious momentarily. Only to get up a few seconds later and continue singing this inane song. Not sure the feminists would be happy here. What are they trying to say here? Its okay to slap a girl and expect her level of affection towards her husband/ paramour to not change. The song is much ahead of its times. Managed to troll all groups together. Discuss.

beetle Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) These bollywood songs ! I was listening to the song ' mohe rang do laal ' from Baji Rao mastaani. My kid asked me about the song and I actually paid attention to the song .... The woman is just asking the guy to stop flirting and indulging in foreplay and just do it.because he seems to be rough guy. Chedu nahi bas rang do laal.....

coffee_rules Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 @Mariyam You forgot choosing a name like Gauri which sounds like Ghori, the Islamic tyrant, is a typical dhimmi RadicalIslam-apologistic attitude of liberals to bend before marauding genocidal expansionist regimes.

The NRI/PIO community consumes just as much of Bollywood as us back home, especially in their formative years. But somehow they just aren't willing to accept it. Amirite? @Texy @coffee_rules @G_B_ @Texan @maniac @Muloghonto @Laaloo and the others. beetle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amirite? @Texy @coffee_rules @G_B_ @Texan @maniac @Muloghonto @Laaloo and the others. Personally, I don't. I've watched maybe 4-5 hindi movies (or Bong for that matter) in the last decade...I do catch the songs/songs sequences on youtube but that's usually it. Maybe its to do with my taste, but I don't like the style of Bollywood acting...hardly anyone acts 'normal' in their movies...everyone is either so 'joshilla/super-motivated/super good/super bad/super chatty/- just overdone' is what I find. Amir Khan is the rare exception I find, but practically everyone around him...overacts I find. Occasionally I find good/great movies and watch them- like Pink. I used to be the kid who'd skip lunch so I could save the money and go to the movies atleast once a week all through school. How times change :) That being said, I am not really a tv person outside of sports- I maybe watch 3-4 hrs of tv per week max. and half of it is sports. Usually I am out doing stuff, so combining that with plentiful western movies/media, I hardly ever dabble in BW till I go back to motherland.
