The reality is quite simple. If you make a solid, professional, entertaining movie, people will watch it. If you make crap, people will “stay away in droves.” The reason Kahn isn’t recognized by Americans is that Americans don’t watch Bollywood movies.

In production right now is a Bollywood feature film starring, of all people, Chris Kattan, of Saturday Night Live fame. Surprise—-it’s a musical! The title says it all: Peculiar Dancing Boy. Get the drift?

Bollywood is making small waves in the uk,
they’ve had a film festival in Bradford, we had Shilpa
Shetty causing problems in Big(shitty)Brother and much
more.
So they’ve hit England, they obviously think America is
the next step.
But then in England there are attempts to turn us into
an Islamic state from those within, so Bollywood is the
gentle face for us to get used to

They also tried to arrest Cat Stevens because he is now a Muslim with a Muslim name. It’s a horrible farce.Especially when you know what Richard Clarke told the 9/11 Commission:

‘In October 2000, the USS Cole was attacked in Yemen. Following the attack, the Principals considered military retaliation. CIA and FBI were, however, unwilling to state that those who had conducted the attack were al Qida or related to the facilities and personnel in Afghanistan’ (9/11 Commission Report, testimony of Richard Clarke, p. 4).

But Clarke goes even further:
‘In retrospect, we know that there was information available to some in the FBI and CIA that al Qida operatives had entered the United States. That information was not shared with the senior FBI counter-terrorism official (Dale Watson) or with me, despite the heightened state of concern in the Counter-terrorism Security Group’ (9/11 Commission Report, testimony of Richard Clarke, p. 4).

Kinda makes you wonder who’s protecting whom from whom.

Who? Apparently there are some who think Bollywood has attained the international stature of Hollywood. I would suspect that Hollywood movies are seen in far more countries, and by far more people, than those made in Bollywood. Having watched part of a Bollywood production myself, I can understand why.

The movies they make are governmentally content-controlled to the point where the final product is just short of being unwatchable to those of us in the West. Those of us who have grown up watching talented actors performing in top-of-the-line, sophisticated productions that cover more topics than singing and dancing practically gag at the simplistic plots in the Bollywood productions.

Most of the Bollywood products include a bizarre mixture of gun violence and endless capering around to music reminiscent of a period in Hollywood dominated by the likes of Busby Berkely. When India’s movie industry accomplishes what our movie industry has, then they can complain about their stars not receiving international recognition.

Let me ask you this:  Wouldn’t you be outraged if Brad Pitt got detained in a foreign airport?  I know I sure would.  In fact, I would consider an overt act of agression against the sovereign realm of Abrangelinica!

Please sing along with me while saluting the flag.

And I’m proud to be Abrangelinican,
where the tabloids won’t be stopped
from feeding me all the dirt
on the orphans they’ll adopt.

And I’ll gladly walk out,
once again, on their next big screen train wreck.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I’ve overpayed,
To watch their freaking dreck!

Must agree there, seems more like a publicity stunt

So, it’s no big deal when millions of innocent Americans have to be detained and searched, but it is when a movie star gets the same treatment? What a crock. Who cares if he had to suffer the same indignities that are imposed on everyone else? Couldn’t this space have been used for something actually important?
