Bollywood Rumors > Another Film Celebration This Weekend in LA LA Land.

http://cinerati.blogspot.com [Cinerati] One of the most hopeful recent developments has been the rapid growth of a sharply focused neo-classical movement among younger actors and directors. Remakes of Golden Age classics have been released or are in the works, and one of the past year's biggest hits, choreographer Farah Khan's directorial debut MAIN HOON NA (I'M HERE NOW), is a frank and affectionate homage to the sort of high-'70s masala movies parodied a generation earlier by Manmohan Desai in AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY.

I also grabbed a copy of the soundtrack for Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar! on tape.

Greencine.comhttp://www.greencine.com [Greencine.com] GreenCine | Bollywood: For example, there has always been a Western audience for Indian films such as Satyajit Ray's classic Apu Trilogy (Pather Panchali [1954], Aparajito [1957] and The World of Apu [1959]) but they tend to be limited to independent screenings and film schools due to their "art house" categorization. Likewise, Indian food, music, yoga, spirituality, etc., are becoming more and more popular with expatriates, non-resident Indians (NRIs) or Indians living outside of their homeland and, yes, even firangis.
