Post on Bollywood
I read this article on the web about Bollywood. The article is a review from the New York Times for a Bollywood film called Koi Mil... Gaya. The film is about a special needs guy who is helped to become cool and smart by a blue alien. The blue alien has special powers, and is looking for a way back to his mother-ship. The special needs guy is helped by the alien, and then helps the alien find his ship. It is basically an exact copy of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, except it is set in a musical with random song and dance. Although Bride and Prejudice is not a Bollywood film, Koi Mil... Gaya is very similar to it in many different ways. Both films are very much like musicals and both of them also involve love stories. They both involve villains(bad guys) and there are many struggles in both films. I actually saw Koi Mil... Gaya at one point in my life and I thought it was extremely cheesy mainly because it copied all the main ideas from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Secondly, I'm not one who is really into musicals. I'm sure I would have different opinions if I grew up in India though. Gates, Anita. "FILM IN REVIEW; 'Koi . . . Mil Gaya'".
