1. A true 'Bollywood-ish' joy is 'Bride and Prejudice'

VERY loosely based on 'Pride and Prejudice', I absolutely love this film. Comedy, drama, music, singing, dance - everything.

The cast is great. It was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's first English speaking film.

Another really fun film is 'Bend It Like Beckham. Not so much a Bollywood style film but a whole lot of fun.

From IMDB: A kaleidoscope of color and culture clash humorously as an Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer-playing daughter in a traditional way. Unlike tarty elder sister Pinky, who is preparing for an Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapatti, Jess' dream is to play soccer professionally like her hero David Beckham. Wholeheartedly against Jess' unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her than with holding her back. When Jess is forced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved sport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream...and a soccer ball.
