Bombay

Well, I haven't kept to my new year resolution. I have watched about 50 bollywood movies and haven't written about a single one of them. Tonight we watched Bombay. It was about the conflict between Muslims and Hindus. Pretty good. It takes place in the early 90's. A Hindu man and Muslim woman fall in love and elope because their parents won't bless the marraige. Rioting brings the families together. The parents of the couple are killed and eventually the religions unite to save the city. Overall, the movie is pretty good. The dance numbers are fair. I really love the music and dancing so this one let me down a bit. However, the message was good and the movie enjoyable.
