Free Video: Sholay - The Best Movie Ever MadeSholay will forever be the best movie in Bollywood and given the size of the Indian population, it's clearly the most watched movie of all times around the world. It was awesome how the various elements came together in one movie. Even the team of Ramesh Sippy, Amitabh and others could never recreate that magic, though they tried again with Shaan.

Comeback Apsaras: Indian bollywood beauties in their second inningsAs usual, Madhuri Dixit is making the most buzz with her movie Aaja Nach Le due to her return as a lead heroine after a five year hiatus during which she became the mother of two children. The Yashraj films movie is gaining notoriety due to some objectionable lyrics which were deemed casteist and led to a ban of the movie in

Lage Raho Munna Bhai: fine sequelIt's always fun to watch 'Circuit' even though he doesn't get enough of a role in a Sanjay Dutt movie. It was worth watching Lage Raho Munna Bhai, the sequel to Munna Bhai MBBS.Enjoy!

Outsourcing BollywoodCouldn't resist passing this along as well! Some of these are really old videos from the early days of video.google.com as it started to come online. I know, I know! Not as much fun. But then to continue the outsourcing theme, here's a fun episode from The Simpsons!Have fun!

Apsara WannabesI guess Bollywood has had some converts around the world. We can expect this after all since it's a small world after all. Enjoy these 3 videos! and the same group again attempting to lip synch on my favorite Baadshaah song ... and then there are these folks ...

Bheja Fry: A different kinda comedyLoved it! Terrific acting, great concept! Though it started out a bit slow, it picked up speed when it mattered. And I had never thought I could like Milind Soman and though mostly he had to stand around and laugh, it was still great. There were some uncomfortable moments around an Indian Muslim rooting for Pakistan in an India-Pakistan cricket match, but it's

Hungama: Beautiful ComedyRecently, I managed to catch one of my favorite movies - Hungama - once again. This movie, though not perfect, manages to bring quite a few elements together to make for some good situational comedy. Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav are now well established as good comedy actors, but it was fun to see Akshaye Khanna in a comedic turn.Rimi Sen was pretty though her ultra fast

After Madhuri Dixit, Bipasha Basu has probably done the most to push the envelope further. While in a different league than Madhuri, Bipasha has her own place in Bollywood, and was recently voted the hottest Asian woman by a British group (Madhuri was the second).Given her western style, Bipasha typically acts in remakes of hit western movies like Jism which was the (unofficial) remake of Body

Aishwarya Rai is rumored to have lost her Miss India crown in 1994 to Sushmita Sen due to a trip on the ramp during the show. As a runner up, she ended up going to the Miss World competition, and that year, India ruled the beauty scene with Sushmita willing the Miss Universe title and Aish, as she's popularly known, winning the Miss World. As was expected, both tried their hands at acting. Aish

While not quite an apsara, or even real, this TV character captured the hearts of Indians when it appeared on Doordarshan the venerable government owned TV channel. The story of strength in unity was presented in a cute hand drawn animation of a story of a bunch of sparrows who manage to escape a trap by acting in unison.Doordarshan had several such pieces played out over time and later on,

Madhubala, the queen of black and white cinema, set the bar which forever served as a challenge for all other heroines. Madhuri came closest to her charm and beauty.It was ot all blakc-and-white though. Here she is in probably the most famous song of hers, dancing as Anarkali in front of Emperor Akbar with Dileep Kumar as Saleem.Like most beautiful heroines later, Madhubala tagged along with

Beauty is typically associated with the Aries sign, the sign of Venus. Madhuri was born slightly later and is actually an earth sign - Taurus. I don't think it's any of our business to know the year she was born in, but her debut was a little known movie Abodh.She got her a big break as a protoge of showman Subhash Ghai who did Uttar Dakshin with her. However, it was N Chandra's blockbuster

It is no wonder that a country of a billion people has some of the most beautiful women in the world. Given the wonderful new world of youtube and the availability of videos from all over Bollywood and its sisters in Tollywood etc it is now feasible to show all these beauties on one page and not just the static images that were in vogue earlier.Be careful as you go over the videos though.
