Movie Review: Dhoom 3

I am hardly one to be a critic of Bollywood cinema, but I do enjoy some of the films and often feel compelled to share some thoughts. I enjoy movies from all over the world, although it seems that in some cases an understanding of the culture is needed to be able to “get” the movies. I find that to be the case with Bollywood films. I do not know a lot about Indian culture, but I do know that the approach to cinema is vastly different than that of Hollywood or many other countries. Still, I do not let that stop me from watching and enjoying the films. The latest one to cross my eyes is Dhoom: 3.

Movie Review: Ek Tha Tiger

I have come to learn that Bollywood films are something of an acquired taste. They are a vastly different beast than Hollywood films. They mostly ignore genre boundaries, usually adding in comedic elements to romances or romantic and comedic elements to action films, not to mention the musical numbers. They will never be my favorite kind of movies, but there is still a lot to like. The latest film I have had the chance to see was Ek Tha Tiger, an action film from the Yash Raj production company.
