Bollywood doesn’t know any place other than Mumbai and Awadh.
With respect of South India, they only have two cities- Chennai and “Kerala”(I know this is a state)
Their South Indian vocabulary starts from ”Ayyo” and ends at “Yenna Rascala”.
Apparently all South Indian dons only well-plaid SAREES. Seldom you will see any South Indian girls in any other clothes, be it Dil Se… or 2 States.
Another thing is that they expect all South Indians will be trained in Classical Indian dances. Nothing wrong in that but just that in every Bollywood movie I had watched on South India, protagonist will have one classical dance number.
I am a North Indian but I have met a lot of South Indian students in schools (Army School). And trust me, their vocabulary is not as bad as it is shown in movie. You will be surprised at how clear is pronunciation of many. But who will tell this to Bollywood.
(Most annoying accent of all time. Comic, but hugely irritating)
I don’t think that South Indians wear only Lungi.
Agneepath, Sajan Chale Sasural, Padosan, Gumnaam, these are some movies where characters only wear Lungi all the time.
Bollywood need to introspect on how they portray different cultures. Most of us grow watching Bollywood and think that what’s shown there is true as hell.
P.S. High Expectations from Thalaivi. Hope this doesn’t disappoint us in terms of cultural portrayal.
