Bollywood ia a very poor way to show the world our great Hindu culture. Our dance forms like BharatNatyam,Music forms like Carnatic, sculting, artchitecture literature like Kalidasa, Valmiki etc. is the best among the best in the World.

Bollywood on the other hand is cheap, vulgar and a disgrace to Hindu culture. I wish Indian parents would encourage their children to pursue what they like. This way we can have more artists contributing to art rather than butt shakers and strippers posing of as actors and actresses.

Can any one compare these two pictures?

Picture 2; Still from Indian film -
