In preparation for our trip, I was researching and I ran across Delhi Belly. In the description it said banned in New Delhi. I had to see what all the fuss was about. I watched the movie over a couple days. It was not your typical Bollywood movie. The lavish song and dance was missing, but the music was a critical part of the movie. It was completely effective in setting the mood or foreshadowing an upcoming scene. It really was a great movie! It was set in India and the spoke English for nearly the whole movie. There was a few minutes where they were speaking "Hindlish" which is kind of a mixture of Hindu and English. During this part of the movie, I could really only make out every tenth word or so. Even without the language for those few minutes, I still could follow what was going on based on body language etc.
I am really looking forward to the Indian movie studio visit. Although I may not recognize an Indian moviestar if I see one, I am sure they will stand out from the crowd. It will also be exciting to see the process of making Indian movies. Until then...
