Our new year Bollywood movie was "Paheli". We had planned to watch "Main Hoon Na" but once again the dvd was scratched beyond usefulness. I'm actually glad. "Paheli" turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I hate to say it but it was charming. It is based on the story "Duvidha," a Rajasthani folktale. A young indian woman is married and her husband immediately leaves her to go on a 5 year journey to make money. It is not entirely his idea, his father tells him it is the best time to go and he obeys his father. In the meantime, a ghost takes his place and becomes the hero of the village. When the original husband returns there is a bit of confusion. This would probably be a good movie for the whole family. The only down side would be that children might tire of reading the subtitles. My kids are big fans of the song and dance numbers. You can take a look at the "Paheli" trailer at:
