even heyy baby was shot in gold coast – i got to see a bit of the shooting with one of my aussie friends..and they were asking me “is this what you watch?” i was like “no! not me..but yes..many others do!”

what the other users (who have commented) don’t understand is that – being the largest film industry has nothing to do with it…in bollywood it’s about quantity..it can never come close to the standards that hollywood movies have set.

1. You write: the better quality bollywood movies seem to be made in india

Ha ha ha.

Down Under, do they start drinking in the AM hours?

If better quality Bollywood movies are being made anywhere, they are a closely guarded secret.

2. You write: i got to see a bit of the shooting with one of my aussie friends..and they were asking me “is this what you watch?”

Think how we must feel because every second Bollywood movie is filmed in the U.S., and a lot of it on the East Coast, particularly in the NYC/NJ/Philadelphia area.

To make matters worse, lawsuits filed in U.S. courts allege that some of these Bollywood monkeys like Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions run away without paying the local actors and vendors.

3. You write: in bollywood it’s about quantity.

Oh no, it’s not just about quantity.

It’s also about theft (like your Heyy Babyy), nepotism (star children) and churning out mindblowing garbage like Singh is Kingg, Kambhakkht Ishq, Drona et al.

You write above: You and I share almost the same feelings about this movie..

Wow…there are other sane folks out there.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

Awara has some lovely songs too.

Many years back, when we were in a cab in Cologne (Germany) our old Turkish driver started singing that song awara hoon once he realized we were from India. It was one of our memorable cab rides. Here’s the song/scene.

We watched Charlie Chaplin’s The Tramp recently (if you live in the U.S., most public libraries have it), and quickly noticed the similarities in acting style between Chaplin and Raj Kapoor. Raj Kapoor was clearly a Chaplin fan.

Speaking of Namastey London…what the hell was that film about! It made no sense whatsoever. It just seemed to get more and more crazy and idiotic.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

Namastey London was a horror show. We cursed our Karma after watching the movie in Regal Burlington (New Jersey).

Here’s an excerpt from our review:

With a bizarre story line that demands too much credulity of viewers, mediocre songs and sub-par acting by Katrina Kaif, Namastey London is worse than your usual Bollywood balderdash.

It’s naive to expect audiences to believe that a just married Punjabi man will bovine-like acquiesce to his wife’s moves to jettison their marriage and let her marry her White boyfriend in London, all for the sake of her happiness. What baloney!

Appreciate first then criticize. Thats the main problem with you. I thing all the people who visit this site would agree with me.

Lastly, Don’t ever call my language rubish or trashy! Bacause my language is way better than your rubbish reviews. It make my rummy tumbling…and gives me headache.

You write like you repeatedly flunked your seventh grade.

You write above: I gave plenty of logic to prove that you godforsaken …and now I am mad?

Now you are mad? It seems like you always were going by your incoherent ramblings.

You write above: Does it hurt to mention the names of Sanjay Leela Banshali, Ashutosh Goalikar, Yash Raj, Vishal Bhadraj, Rakesh Roshan, & Farah Khan

We loved Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya & Black. Yash Raj is a spent force.

Try to appreciate what our Great movie maskers s are trying to achieve. Movie making is not only an art it takes energy and passion to complete.

Have respect for those who are doing their best to entertain you. Bollywood is the biggest movie industry in the world. Try to love our country. That will do good for you. Or else people of mother India will show you how to kick ass of those who disrespect the country. Be Careful…

SearchIndia.com Responds:

1. You write above: Be Careful…

Please clarify our biggest doubt – Did you escape from the local zoo or the asylum?

You must be one of those rare creatures who simultaneously suffer from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of ideas. Sorry, there’s no cure for your kind. You might want to try the veterinary hospitals though.

2. You write: Have respect for those who are doing their best to entertain you. Bollywood is the biggest movie industry in the world. Try to love our country

Only a monumental idiot like you would equate love for Bollywood with love for India. India existed long before Bollywood and will continue long after.

Most Bollywood movies are pathetic pieces of shit. Watch some nice foreign movies like Tell No One, Mongol, Kontroll, In the Mood for Love and Blame it on Fidel or Hollywood movies like No Country for Old Men, Sweeney Todd and There will be Blood to realize the difference between the trash you so dearly love and real movies.

2. You write: I strongly think that you are nothing but a Pakistani dalal who hates everything….Always seeking faults in Bollywood movies

Hanuman, did someonse set fire to your tail? The last time we checked, Bollywood movies were popular in Pakistan.

3. You write: What do you think? Do you think movie making are so easy?

Of course not. But to our Bollywood directors it’s a walk in the park if you go by the quality of most movies made lately. That’s why most Bollywood movies fare so badly at the box office.

4. You write: Try to appreciate what our Great movie maskers s are trying to achieve

Who are the great movie makers in Bollywood? Directors like Anees Bazmee who make garbage like Singh is Kinng or plagiarists like Rumi Jaffrey and Ajay Devgan who offer rubbish like God Tussi Great Ho and U Me Aur Hum respectively.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

1. You write above: SIK (Singh is King), billed as a comedy, actually has very few scenes where you can laugh

We agree 100%.

2. You write: In short, SIK is a drag.

SIK is unadulterated garbage, Bollywood at its worst. SIK has not done that well in the U.S. but we keep hearing contradictory reports about India.

3. You write: The tragedy is that, buoyed by the response to this crap, the team of Akki, Anees Bozomi (Bazmee) and Vipul Shah, will turn out more of such humourless stuff

Now, you’ve ruined our day!

To the above poster:

I would strongly suggest that you follow your own advice and not take life too seriously if an educated opinion bothers you so much as to compell you to make a fool out of yourself with your poorly constructed and argued diatribe.

Movies aren’t meant to change lives and of course they are entertainment. Movies, however, are a form of entertainment that on many occasions cost time and money. With movies like ”Singh is Kingg,’ we are losing both time and money and the entertainment benefit derived from such movies is quite low. I commend this blog for making us aware of these indescribably terrible Bollywood movies. It really saddens me to see the marked decline in the quality and standards of Bollywood movies. It is truly becoming a mass-production process whereby the most fundamental elements of entertainment are being neglected for the sake of quick earnings. I just don’t get it. Bollywood is more than capable of making movies the likes of Sholay, Company, Bombay and Satya – at least, I’d like to hope so.

Count us too among those terribly disillusioned with the crappy output from Bollywood lately.

We’ve just watched two Hollywood movies: No Country for Old Men & There will be Blood. What a world of difference between those fine movies and the garbage that flows from Bollywood and Kollywood.

Thing to write a review. (Not crap essays that come in your brain)

1: Learn to appreciate the positive things in films.

2. Highlight the negative aspects ina decent manner and make the readers know why u highlighted this negative aspect and how it can be made better.

Never Compare Bollywood to Hollywood. 2 different sections. Never…. Period.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

You write above: Learn to appreciate the positive things in films

There is very little to appreciate in 99% of Bollywood movies.

Why do you think most Indian movies fail at the box office? Because most of them are disgustingly bad.

We have to wait and see what the weekend looks like for Singh is Kinng against these two new releases. I have a feeling its continue to do well but than again lets just wait.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

We also loved Johnny Gaddar, Manorama six feet under & Taare Zameen Par.

Watched Bachna Ae Haseeno this morning…lousy.

Hope God Tussi Great Ho will be better.

Now whether you like the movie or you don’t, its your own opinion and you are free to express it.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

As we said earlier, in the U.S. (the market we focus on primarily since SearchIndia.com is based here), Shahrukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om and Hrithik Roshan’s Jodhaa Akbar handily trounced Singh is Kinng.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

1. You write above: Which means your whole review is garbage

Are you confusing our review with the stuff in your head?

2. You write: the reviewer is an SRK lover and scared of the dethronement

No, we are not in the SRK, Hrithik, Akshay Kumar or in any camp. We just love good cinema.

You dolt, before you blabbered that the reviewer is an SRK lover, you should have read our Chak De India and Om Shanti Om reviews.

Yes, we have. Please find below the link to our Guru review:

Speaking of that.. I know Kal Penn is one of your favorites….
Have you watched the “Harold & Kumar”s? I loved “White Castle” but “Guantanomo Bay” wasn’t good probably because my expectation was very high .. his deadpan expression sure is good.

I am a guy, but I also pay attention to bollywood underarms.. to check for implant scars.. heard it is rampant in bollywood.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

We liked Kal Penn in Namesake but not in the other film we watched.

SearchIndia.com Responds:

1. You write above: i would strongly suggest you stop reviewing bollywood movies cause its clear u hate indian movies with the passion

We don’t hate Bollywood movies It’s just the hopelessly amateurish way most of them are made that gets our goat. We liked Taara Zameen Par, Fanaa, Manorama Six Feet Under and Johnny Gaddar.

2. You write: movies are for entertainment…dnt go in the cinema expecting a movie to change your life rather go have a good laugh

Singh is Kinng is not entertainment. It’s a crap-show. There were very few decent laugh-lines in the movie.

3. You write: all the movies u rated as bad turned out to be blockbusters and singh is king will be the years biggest hit…it will win the hearts of people.

So be it. We don’t write our reviews based on the box office response. In their time, Stalin and Hitler were also much loved by their people.
