Taal (1999)
Never a dull moment
My first introduction to a Hindi movie in the cinema and it certainly won't be my last. This film is lush in its use of colour, music, location and good acting. The cinematography is breathtaking in many areas not least being a wonderful tracking/crane shot over treetops apparently made without the use of a helicopter(the leaves are perfectly still). The story is predictable but welcome and the musical segments hold your attention like a vice. The use of Dolby surround is perfect and the actors make leaving your seat impossible. Even if you don't speak Hindi (as I don't) this movie is well worth the price of admission.
Raja Babu (1994)
Breath of fresh air
This was my first introduction to the world of Bollywood and I'm now hooked! Okay so it requires adoption of a different mindset to watching US films but once you allow yourself the pleasure of enjoying it for what it is you won't be disappointed. The songs are superb, melodic and very catchy. The actors are visually compelling especially Karisma Kapoor who is surely one of the most beautiful actresses anywhere in the film world. Locations, colour are spellbinding. If you want something different and are looking to be uplifted, cheered up and stimulated I recommend you catch this movie.
