IMDb ratings from India

Personal Opinions

                                                I agree at times

There are times when I agree with the reviewers from India on IMDb, one case in view is the recently released Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, The general consensus is the film is to put it politely - a load of junk - the reason it did well with some of the viewers is it has Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit in, other than that it has no redeeming features.

Some of the reviews are based on the music content in the film, while this can be unfair to the film, I understand why the viewers in India enjoy musicals so much; they have a very hard life, and a big show is a release.

Reviews cannot be objective as they are personal opinions. I admit my reviews are tainted by my opinions, at other times they are about items which Bollywood needs to ammend, such as the blatant sexism in the cinema, which is only recently changing.

I am watching a movie called Adipurush on Netflix at the moment. Though it got panned on IMDB, I am enjoy the movie. I think the reason for it being panned is more to do with the spirituality, and mythology of the story than the acting.

I accept people in India will be more acquainted with the story than I am, I am judging the story as an outsider.
