What does Bollywood teach us?

Short clothes,sexy girls,item numbers,bling-bling and catchy lyrics only remind us of one thing-BOLLYWOOD!While some people love Bollywood and consider acting in a Bollywood movie the peak of their career,some people outright HATE Bollywood!But whether we like it or hate it,Bollywood teaches us many things,knowingly and unknowingly.But,what exactly,does Bollywood teach?

Romance Fantasies.

The one thing Bollywood gets right EVERY TIME,is the fabulous FANTASIES.They come in all shapes and sizes-from a simple glance from your 'love',to some you-know-what action,Bollywood enhances our creativity in these situations.Sometimes,it blows my mind away when I think how many awkward romance scenes Bollywood creates,and how many fantasies it comes up with to counteract those little bloopers.

Finding true love.

DDLJ fans will relate to this point.You can find true love in any Bollywood scenario.On Eurorail,Indian Rail,Mexican rail,Brazilian rail,platform,police station,train station,airport-true love can often be found in the form of creepy men or overpossesive women.Thanks Bollywood.I'll surely pop into a train at one in the morning and find my bae.

IDENTIFYING true love.

Yes,I know that I'm taking it too far with the 'love' lessons,but they just don't end!Bollywood movies teach you true indicators of truly indicating true love.My favourite one is what Rancho says in '3 Idiots',that when you are in love in someone,the winds start blowing,the moon looks bigger and everything happens in slow motion!Just,wow.

Pick-up Lines.

New generation movies in bollywood also somehow give teenagers amazing ideas for pick up lines.See teenagers-who-love-Bollywood,pick-up lines are good if they a)make sense and b)they are not creepy.Because if you tell,"Hey baby,you must be a light switch,because every time I see you,I turn on" ,you can be damn sure that the girl is gonna drag you down to the Police Station.

Beauty is white and thin.

I don't mean to be racist,but it's a fact-there are so many actors in Hollywood,and even our local industries that have some famous and awesome actors that are dark,or fat.But I have scarcely seen any Bollywood actors like that.Mostly talent is appreciated only if you are thin,and tall and fair.There have been so many criticisms of people who,though great actors,don't make this cut.Physical beauty is only skin deep Bollywood.Great models aren't necessarily always great actors.

Don't give a damn about what people think.

Though there are some insane messages Bollywood gets across,it also teaches us how to live without giving a damn.Through songs and all.But nevertheless.Indian society is super-judgemental,but some Bollywood movies actually encourage you to be who you are and respect other people for who they are without judging them.Be yourself.Don't give a damn about what anyone says.

It's okay to be different.

Many Bollywood movies such as Taare Zameen Par and even 3 Idiots shows that it's okay if you're not like the rest.It's okay if your aim in life isn't to earn a billion dollars or enter IIT.It's okay if you can't understand the world like most do-that makes you unique and that's what defines you.These messages are so encouraging to people who are going through depression or even rejection.

So these are the funny and amazing lessons I've learnt from Bollywood.No matter how crazy or over-the-top it can be,Bollywood is something we Indians have grown up with!And let's admit it-we all shake a leg whenever we hear a Bolly track.What are the lessons you've learnt from Bollywood?Do tell! :D Thanks for reading! :D
