A little SRK yumminess

[lobelia321]

I started watching Om Shanti Om, the huge Bollywood blockbuster of 2007, last night. It is a spoof of 1970s Bollywood and just great grand OTT fun.

My iBook DVD player won't let me watch it. 'Disc not recognised'. WTF?? I had to watch it on our tiny portable DVD player with crap colour resolution.






Om Shanti Om poster. What to say?


This is a bit like, though not as fabulous, as the poster that I now have in my laundry, up above the drier, next to the Brad Pitt calendar and the newspaper cuttings of José Mourinho. Nothing if not eclectic. Um. *stares at nipples*
Note: This man is 40. Photoshop, anyone? Or are there special nipple and pecs hardening operations? Anyway: flowing hair!!! Denimed crotch!!


Bonus pic of manga fringe flopping across t'eyes.



King Khan at the Berlinale (Berlin Festival) 2007, promoting Om Shanti etc. The Germans have discovered Bollywood in a big way! There is even a monthly magazine which consists of a plastic bag with a DVD inside.


Yum. Floppy hair. Plus phallus knife. What more does a gal want?

Army of Lovers is the best. Give 'em a try. They're funny and the music's fun.

You know, I'm close to being convinced that this guy is the only actor the Bollywood movie industry has to offer. He's just in every. single. film. *blinks*

(Also: bare chest? So, do they actually kiss in those movies now? I thought they weren't supposed to, but if there's bare chest...)

There are thousands of Bollywood actors but the big blockbusters (viz. the ones we get to see in t'West) do seem to feature a cast of five. So, yes, SRK the ubiquitous. Which is fine by me. *g*

And yes! Bare chest! I've seen coy and fleeting bare chestedness before but this, omg, it's blatant. (And possibly fake. As in body double fake.) But kissing? Still no! Apparently, it happens in B-movies (wot we don't see in t'West) and it's often played with (fade-outs just as faces meet, curtains dropping, rainfall) but I think it's regarded as low-brow for the top stars, like a descent into pornography.

But it made me realise that the kissing is often an easy option for Western films, and often totally unerotic. Bollywood movies can convey teh sex like no other...
