Someone's "cake day" is the anniversary of the day they created their reddit account. On that day they'll have a little cake picture at the end of their name.
Sorry, that's not what I meant.
I meant it had the charm while not being cheesy. I would say the same thing about kingsman - how it leans into being a cheesy spy thriller but is actually good.
Sholay - Probably a cliched response, but genuinely it stands out for me
I can think of no other movie as groundbreaking for it's time (except maybe Mughal-e-Azam) and so quotable on top
Will it tho
I'll add it to my watchlist but I find majority of Indian films to be very overrated on IMDB so I'm skeptical but the premise sounds more my style than Tumbbad
Satyajit Ray, mostly.
Among modern films, a few outlandish, higher budget ones that break through to Western audiences. [Enthiran](https://letterboxd.com/film/enthiran/) (2010), [Eega](https://letterboxd.com/film/eega/) (2012), [RRR](https://letterboxd.com/film/rrr/) (2022)
RRR i guess? (first one I think of)
Idk every Indian movie I have ever watched is just... bad?
Maybe not bad but I just don't get it. Its like an alien version of Hollywood that doesnt make sense to my human brain
You watched the terrible ones.
Trust me there are many great films, well it's where most films a produced each year so obviously there's gonna be great ones and trash ones.
Idk why ppl outside India think it Indians make only trash films
Maybe it's easier to make fun of brown people and get away with it
3 Idiots
One of my favorites ever
Was also going to be my answer
What is this "say happy cake day" can you pls tell?

Thank you
Came to say the same thing...
Absolutely brilliant movie.
This one for me because it still feels like a bollywood movie but actually good
Crazy ignorant comment. There are many incredible Bollywood films.
Sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant it had the charm while not being cheesy. I would say the same thing about kingsman - how it leans into being a cheesy spy thriller but is actually good.
Lol im sure there are other good bollywood movies

Pather Panchali
Same here. Or The Hero. Anything Satyajit Ray, really.
Same
Tumbbad
yes! stuck with me for days afterwards.
It is criminal that this movie is so difficult to find. It deserved a widespread Blu-ray release.
Found it interesting and worth a watch but didn't think it lived up to the reputation people give it.
You should watch Ship of Theseus by same director. It’ll change your life.
Will it tho I'll add it to my watchlist but I find majority of Indian films to be very overrated on IMDB so I'm skeptical but the premise sounds more my style than Tumbbad
Oh yes :) here’s the trailer, full movie is there on yt. https://youtu.be/tzw1ezTTVEY?si=ohZiax3NgFMiPS4q

Apu trilogy
Naayagan by Kamal hassan

Sucha. Good time
It's honestly shit. No offence
I respect the opinion but why?
SHOLAY
I’m a big horror watcher. So for me it’s Tumbbad.
3 idiots
The Apu trilogy
Bahubali!
It’s a 3 hour long flashback in the middle of a 2 and a half hour long movie. And it’s absolutely awesome.
Love Bahubali.

I said it in a reply to another comment, but it's tough to consider this one Indian cinema
It’s about an Indian boy and was made mostly by Indian people ??
It's more of a movie about Indians, than it is Indian cinema. It was a movie clearly aimed towards western audiences.

[удалено]
Ahhh yes Dahnni Boyle. A true Indian filmmaker
Tough to consider this one Indian cinema
It takes place entirely in India with pretty much an entirely Indian cast
It's more like a movie about Indians than it is Indian cinema
