Contemporary Indian cinema
The level of films being released in Bollywood has indeed grown significantly. Real blockbusters with expensive special effects, chilling thrillers, funny comedies and, of course, films about love, loyalty and hate are now filmed here. The level of emotions in Indian cinema is sometimes overwhelming, the beauty and variety of colorful costumes is amazing, and melodic songs and fiery dances make the spectacle unforgettable.
No wonder Indian cinema has a lot of fans all over the world. They remain unwaveringly loyal to Bollywood products, no matter what novelties Western film makers pamper them with.
Aamir Khan - Mr. Perfection
Many Bollywood stars, in pursuit of royalties, manage to appear in several films a year, without thinking about the quality of the final product. Aamir Khan is not one of them. His rule is no more than one film a year, so premieres with his participation are always an event in the world of cinema.
Lagaan (2001)
The events in this film take place in 1893, when India was a British colony. Residents of a small village call on the administrator Colonel Russell to defer the tax day. The Briton decides to make fun of the poor people and offers them a bet: people must win a croquet match, which they have no idea about. This is a very emotional and interesting film, which was nominated for an Oscar and a European Film Academy.
"Blind Love" (2006)
Blind from birth, a girl falls in love with a cheerful guide, but he turns out to be completely not who he claims to be. The development of the plot is very unusual. The romantic comedy turns into a bloody drama at the end.
Three Idiots (2009)
A film about friendship and love. Here Aamir Khan plays a young guy, although the actor himself at the time of the release of the film was already more than 40 years old, but the viewer does not have a feeling of discrepancy for a minute. The film is very kind and sentimental, which, however, distinguishes Indian cinema.
"The color of saffron" (2006)
The story of how an English journalist comes to India to shoot a documentary about the colonial independence fighters. Due to the lack of funding, she is forced to attract students to work. At first, young people are not particularly eager to help her. However, over time, they plunge into the problems of that time and understand that nothing has changed much in the country. Soon, the previously indifferent students begin a new struggle …
In fact, almost every film starring Aamir Khan is a masterpiece, recommended for viewing by all fans of Indian cinema and not only them.
