why? i don't know.
probably because i think hindu films have more substance and better cinematography than their filipino counterpart. or could it be because most of the ones i watched have themes that goes with my beliefs. probably because i like their song and dance numbers. or possibly i like the learning about other cultures even if i only get to see a bit of it.
i don't know. really.
there are a lot of good filipino movies of course but none of them captures my interest as much as these Hindu films has captured it. cinematography aside, the plots and themes are good. storylines actually have a story in it. the movies have substance and timeless. and they don't rely on sex scenes and dirty jokes either.
hindu movies gives us a glimpse of the indian culture. it also proves my belief that a movie does not need sex jokes and sex scenes so people would watch it. think of Gajini and the 3 idiots, did you see any sex scenes in there? both were box office hits and acclaimed not only in india but in various countries around the world.
indian movies are funny but not in a stupid kind of way, unlike most filipino comedies. they have song and dance numbers, that used to litter old filipino movies, but it did not make the movie cheap. their music is actually part of the story and gives more life to the movie. most filipino films with these song and dance numbers chose songs that do not even correlate with the movie's theme. basta may kanta lang.
really. indian movies are superior in a lot of ways to filipino movies. there are only a few filipino movies that you would want to watch over and over again.
just saying.
