Disclaimer : This is a result of watching some boring Indian Cinema for the past few weekends.The author of the post(who’s all for the creativity *air quote*)would like to express her choler on the ape culture followed in most movie productions.

As I was watched Night-Out on TV,I mused why Indian Film Industry failed to interest me as much as the Big H did .What’s it that Hollywood has, that Bollywood doesn’t (I’m pretty sure the answer to this is a non-exhaustive list).
