Bollywood Delights

I've just come back from a cheery afternoon of watching 'The Merchants of Bollywood' at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco. It's a very colourful musical with lots of fidgety young people in bright costumes dancing to loud music. It was delightful and I loved every minute. The story? What story? Anyway, it didn't need a story. I danced all the way down Rokeby road to the train on the way home. Ok, that's a lie. If I danced like the cast for a mere five minutes I'd need to lie down for a week.

I went alone. Jim refused to accompany me. He said he had lots of sport to watch on TV. Ok, that's a lie too. He said he'd rather remove his own head with a rusty saw. That man just has no sense of fun.

I love Bollywood movies. Yes, they are formulaic but aren't most Hollywood movies too? You have to admire the energy. What's your view? Love 'em or hate 'em?

I'm off to buy a sari. You can check out the show here:
