Kelly: Hey, Peter, why don’t we go to the cinema together over the weekend?
Peter: I don’t like cinemas. There are crowds of people with pop corn and soda, and mobile phones will go off every now and then. It is difficult to concentrate. I would rather rent a DVD.
Kelly: Good idea! Let’s watch this new Indian film which was released last month. Do you like Indian films?
Peter: I have never watched a single Bollywood film before so I really do not know. I hear they are very long and boring.
Kelly: I will agree with you about the length but this is because of the amount of the song material. Besides, it is a cultural thing — when Indians go out for an evening’s entertainment, they want a saga, a drama, a life story — all in one and with some comical episodes as well. It is problematic to put all these aspects into 90 minutes, you know.
Peter: I see. Well, I guess singing and dancing must be a great strength of Indian commercial cinema. When actors show extreme emotions, just facial expressions may not be enough.
Kelly: Exactly. Songs and dances make the message loud and clear. Of course, it’s not real — after all, who breaks out in synchronized dances with many extras when one is happy? But this is a characteristic of Indian cinema.
Peter: What is the main theme of Indian films?
Kelly: Well, India cannot be considered a rich country but movies show an image of the upper-middle or rich classes. Most Indian people live a life which is completely different from what is there on the screen. This makes these films so attractive and bright.
Peter: How odd!
Kelly: I say, Peter, you mentioned “Bollywood films”. What do you mean?
Peter: Don’t you know? It is one of the largest film producers in the world — three films a day are finished there, which makes it about a 1000 films a year — can you imagine? The name is a combination of Bombay where the studio is situated and Hollywood.
Kelly: I didn’t know that! So, what is your decision?
Peter: Well, let’s go to the rental shop, shall we?
