Middle daughter’s turning 16 in a month, and I’m thinking a girlie day for her and her friends – she loves dancing, so maybe a belly-dancing class, and some henna tattoos and saris, and of course a movie. Anyone know a good, American-accessible Bollywood DVD that would be a good chick flick?
You can try to see if you can get a DVD of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. The movie is slightly older (1995) but has good song and dance sequences. A newer choice would be Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
Go for the Westernized Bride and Prejudice – a Bollywood-style version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. You don’t need to know the source material to enjoy it, but it does add to the fun if you do.
