10 reasons why Bollywood rocks!

Bollywood is like that Omigod-I-can’t-make-up-my-mind-about-him boy in your class.
There are times you just simply hate his crazy guts (or lack of them), complete disregard for logic and bullheaded tendency to go overboard. And there are occasions when he totally floors you by being his batty, unique, indescribable self.
Most of us, movie fanatics, harbour this love-hate sentiment towards Hindi films and everything extraordinary (or absurd if you will) they stand for. But there are some qualities exclusive to Bollywood alone, which makes its ‘lydat wonly’ attitude so much fun. 1 Ding dong o’ baby sing a song!
Songs and dances act like oxygen to Bollywood. And so when Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’s Nandini (played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) says ‘We have songs for all occasions,’ she isn’t far from the truth. Whether X is sick, sad, happy, bored, constipated (Aati nahi, remember?), dreaming or dead (Bhoot hoon main, anyone?), there’s a mandatory song to cheer, chill and chide.
Needless to say, in most cases, it will be picturised with a hefty dose of grandiose, flamboyance and mathematical precision (four dancers in red to X’s right. four to his left. Eight behind him, in blue outfits. So on and so forth).
When on this topic, can rain songs and item numbers be far behind? Bollywood’s love for this wet, hot and sultry weather is legendary. From Madhubala to Priyanka Chopra, every heroine has been through the dripping sari routine.
