The thing about Bollywood movies is that they are one of the few things that make me remember the allures of het. They are so gloriously, OTT het, and the women are so wonderfully, glamorously out there. And there's no kissing but there is so much sensual looking and sexual touching and leaning, all in soft-focus with glittery lights in the eyes while the music surges and the tears flow freely.
They are the slash of het.
(This does not make sense to me but it sounds good and sort of expresses what I feel in my gut about this: swoony.)
