Bollywood galore!
Apr. 28th, 2006 12:18 pmThere's a special Bollywood shop just around the corner now.
It's masquerading as a bland Internet café and call shop for people from hot countries that want to phone home; but sekritly, there is a rack of huge bollywood posters (big Shah Rukh Khan for six Euros, small Shah Rukh Khan for three, and ladies in saris), and lots of DVDs in slim cases, Hindi with subtitles - English or German - for three Euros the legality of which I am not going to question - direct imports from Mumbai, let's say, and think no more about it.
I balked at Hindi with French subtitles. My French is usable, but not that easy; my Hindi extends to 'Namaste' and the realisation that the stem 'muskurait-' (spelling unknown) meaning 'smile'(both as a verb and a noun).
But there is mileage in that shop. Lots and lots of movies, some of them over three hours long, for 3 Euros a shot? That's a lot of entertainment.
