It is hard to escape the lure of Bollywood if you are an Indian (or from the Indian sub-continent). But there are some who are completely non-filmi and immune to the glam sham of the Bollywood culture. Here are some of the obvious signs of a non-Bollywood fan.
Watch out! You may be one of them! So, how do you know if you are the non-filmy type?
- When everybody else is going ballistic about their favourite Bollywood hero, you don’t care and look at them with “whats the big deal?” look
- Bollywood and fashion? When you think the two are totally independent
- When you don’t think watching award shows makes sense because it has nothing about appreciating the true artists anyway
- When you skip the gossip magazines and supplement paper attached to the main paper because it is meaningless news to you
- If your answer to the question, “do you know sahid Kapoor got married recently?” is “who cares?”
- Bollywood dialogues are greek and latin to you and doesn’t make any sense
- When you opt to sit at home and relax while your friends go for the first day first show
- When hindi songs don’t interest you at all
- You can sit through a hindi movie provided it is from a genre of your choice
- New teaser of upcoming movies are of little interest to you
- You don’t have even a single favorite movie character
- Your idea of bad music are the item songs
- You always find yourself in debates siding the team which says Bollywood movies are degrading
- Your idea of a romantic date is not inspired by any Bollywood movie
- You pray that you are not asked Bollywood questions in a quiz because you wont have any answers and are completely clueless
- Bollywood dance moves is your idea of getting quick vertigo
- You wonder why everything is so exaggerate…especially the fight and the dramatic scenes
- You always complain about the duration of the movie
- You feel Bollywood actors are highly over rated and most cannot act at all
Oh…the 20th point is missing? Well, that’s for you guys to suggest 🙂
