Book Reviews and Recommendations

Bollywood and the BBC

Written By: amodini - Aug• 12•05
The BBC Shropshire Bollywood site has movie reviews which I sometimes read. Read with caution, because these reviews sometimes have spoilers. I read a recent one on Viruddh, which had this gem :

“As the story unfolds, we learn how the couple blend with each other when carrying out their daily routines,…”

Now, I know what the reviewer means by “blend” because I have seen the film, else “blend” could be, …er…. misconstrued.

Preity Zinta writes a column for the BBC. These columns are very Preiti-centric, and although interesting, she shows no qualities for being chosen to write this, other than her being a big Bollywood star. Don’t get me wrong, I think Preiti is good in Hindi films, cute, and acts decently enough. But a writer, she is not.
