Is Bollywood coming to Hollywood?
This CNN article says it’s not. Well, we’ll see. Last night’s Academy Awards was pleasantly India-dominated. I enjoyed seeing the Indian song and dance numbers from Slumdog Millionaire, and hearing the speeches of the Indian winners which seemed to be less self-centered than the speeches of others. Jai Ho! Indian Composer A.R. Rahman has made his country very proud after having won two Oscars in one night for best score and song. I wonder if the Academy is more globally focused now due to Obama’s presidency.


I don’t think for real bollywood is ever coming. I just can’t imagine America getting it. But I’m sure there will be a small niche of people interested in it now, and we will be seeing elements of it here and there.
It’a all good.
