Topic started by vetri (@ clt-pxy04.firstunion.com) on Wed Aug 15 15:33:35 .
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

Here are sample ones

1. The story line is always around "love" between Hero/Heroine (except a couple movies)
2. The hero though raised from a poor family(mostly from a Cheri,struggle for even food)
will always prove his all-round skills like
expertise in all martial arts
able to ride from bi-cycle to Helicoptor
able to handle all weapons from a stick to a missile
Wears all imported clothings from Nike shoes to Tommy Hilfigur shirts
The list continues..
3. In the Villain's gang there will be atleast a gunda with Christian names like,
John,Peter,Joseph,Robert
4. The villain team is highly organized with all educated(in English) gundas,
eg: dialogues like "Yes Boss"
5. Hero never born easily (if there is a scene about hero's birth), his mother will have hard labor time with thunderstorms,rain
6. Mostly the heroine is daughter of the villain or from a richer family than hero
7. The minority characters(Christian/Muslim) in the movies are always projected to be good natured and helpful - except the one discussed in item 3
8. If the story line is in a western country, the white people definitely speak the indian language
eg: 'Enku konjam kojam Tamil teryum'
9. Any emotional dialogue is repeated with an English equivalent
eg: Nan unne verukkaren..I hate you, I hate you...
10. If the villain is a Muslim/Christian, the hero should also from one of these religions
11. Almost all duet songs are shot with extras dancing in the background

I wish if the forumhubbers can add more on this list..,

  Friends,
  
  Journalist Madhan also has some points. Refer the 26-11-2001 kumudam edition, titled - "Hollywood maavu - Madhan"

  Talking about the journalists, in every movie why the journalists are coming with the same costume?
  
  A paijama plus a jolna bag!!!!

  IM SORRY BUT ALL YOU PEOPLE WRITING IN THIS FORUM ARE FAGS. YOU GIVE LISTS OF WHAT ALWAYS HAPPEN.. IT SEEMS ALL OF YOU HAVE FAILED TO TAKE AN LITERACY CLASS (OR UNFORTUNATELY CANT AFFORD IT) THESE ARE THE MAIN THEMES OF A STORY. THIS VETRI FAG TALKS ABOUT A LOVE BETWEEN HERO AND HEROINE, OK... HOW BOUT THE WHITE MOVIES WHERE THIS HAPPENS, START COMPLAING BOUT THAT.....

  OK. So here's the deal. The storylines are often the same. Could call it by any name - Red, Villain, King, Friends whatever or even those with an individual's name (a trend adopted by the "superstars" like Rajini's Padayappa to Kamal's Thenali and so forth). However, these guys are missing the point as we from outside India would like to see ingenuity in a story, not a re-make of a Jet Li wannabee or MGR hopeful. Neither should Indian citizens be taken as fools by showing, over and over and over again, how corrupt politicians or that only the hero could do somethin about it. It's time for movie-makers to take a cue from fellas like Spielberg or Cameron or even Attenborough, do the neccesary research,and for God's sake, skip the running around the tree or padi field scene!

  Indian movies are stupid. All they do is dance to that awful high-pitched voice. The guy looks like an idiot. And what's with the guy and the girl playing peekaboo behind a tree?

  I use to hate Indian movies before i moved to Sweden, to be frank Indian movies are infinatly good compare to most of the western movies,all about,
  1,some kind of strange species with disgusting look.
  2,Some vampire
  3,Only some sex with out any stuff in the movie
  4,If you see western movies continuously you will end either as criminal or in the mental hospital.
  5,Every sceine hero and heroine will suck each other mouth-such nasty thing and soon after in the next scene they will do the same thing with others,what do they want to coney the people? to do the same?-So, danceing in the paddy field or in around the tree is far far better.
  6,Indian movie makers should not follow western movies that itself is OK.

  Here are some more:
  
  1.Hero is MA MBA MCA PhD.But situations made him driver/gardener of rich herione's house.Herione doesnt know his qualifications and passes bad comments on him in english infront of her friends.For the first 2/3 comments he wont reply and the girls laugh.Suddenly he starts to talk in oxford english.Girls are stunned.He will give the translation in native language also.and of course love is started after this.
  2.If the story is triangular love,the less important heroine will die in attempt to save hero/heroine by jumping infront of bullet which was aimed at hero/heroine.
  3.after marriage one day heroine faints in bathroom.the tensed hero takes her to hospital.eventhough he is a 'sakala kala vallabhan' he doesnt know have any clue that what happened to his wife.usually an elder woman (his mother/elder sister/or velakkari) finally tells him that "u are going to become a father"

  4.if villain is trying to rape hero's sister he will successfully do it.but if it is the heroine,hero will come just before that to save her.ofcourse heroine will be in torn dress by that time.but nothing wud happen.
  5.no cutting/shaving in jails.hero comes out with beard after a jail stay.
  6.hero is abt to kill villain.but to avoid him going to jail somebody else will do it ultimately.
  that 'somebody' might be the suffering wife of villain or an old rape victim of villain.
