A Bollywood Biscuit shaker!!!
In India movies are treated as a religion. People have an intensive passion for the art of cinema. Which extends not from just being in the cinema, but to the absolute love of the places they see, the jokes that are told, the music that they don't just hear but feel right through to their bones, and of course the incredible obsession with the stars and starlets that bring the movies to life. The cinema to the Indian people is not just a past-time, and as cheesy as it sounds it's a way of life. No where have i experienced a place in where the vibe of the room is as just as exciting as the movie itself. People who are not afraid to laugh out loud, slap their thighs, whistle and cry openly not afraid to hide how the story and the people in it has touched them.
Being the biggest film industry in the world it's an absolute must when coming to India.
Recently a new movie called Delhi Belly came out, some of us had heard the songs being played around the radio and they were fantastic, so we bought the CD and it has not left the CD player often. You can find us coming home with Switty by Keerthi Sugathia and Ram Sampath blaring through the speakers.
So when an opporunity arose to see the movie we all jumped on the chance. We purchased out tickets got popcorn and drinks, sat down in the air conditioned cinema and laughed ourselves silly, along with the rest of the cinema. Even though the movie was almost entirely in Hindi we were able to follow the story, but it did not matter. It was the characters and the awkward and hilarious situations that they got themselves into that had us all laughing as loud as anyone in the cinema, and like all Bollywood movies the love story which.... well i wont spoil it for you. It was the other people in the room who were enjoying it so much, that you couldn't help being apart of it. And of course the insane dance sequence at the end of the movie for which Bollywood is famous for. Explosions of colour and people, music and dance, costumes only Bollywood starts could make look so cool. Songs that everyone dancing in the cinema and are still singing at school today. And of course the line that had us all in stitches and has become common reference between the group to "shake your biscuit".
See you at the movies
