Quite a few Indian movies are either political/crime thrillers or a slice-of-life/family story. Then, there are the love stories which usually occur in the intersection between the above two categories …
"Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21338696/) seemed to have all of these elements in some measure and at first, it looked like a movie that I’d really like. But as the plot progressed, it kind of bogged down in way too many plot elements that mixed in confusing ways …
I haven’t finished the movie yet, but I’ve hit the portion of the movie where just too many absurd things happen and so my guess at the moment is that this might not be one of my favourites … but I guess we’ll see once we get to the end 😛

@dipti First, not Bollywood — that’s Hindi. This is Telugu, so Tollywood 😛 Second, just because that’s the norm for quite a few Indian movies, doesn’t mean you have to accept it. Quite a few of the non-Bollywood movie industries are doing much better on this aspect these days …

@dipti Yep, Bengali cinema is also Tollywood — talk about confusing 😛 The one I confuse all the time is Mollywood since it’s for Malayalam but I often think it should be for Tamil (Madras = Mollywood, Bombay = Bollywood). So yeah, all around confusing …
Incidentally, there’s a long list of the Indian cinema “woods” here (see the sidebar on the right below the main info box): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_West_Bengal
I learnt of a few that I hadn’t even heard of 🙂
I used to love Bollywood in the ‘90s — even though they mostly copied old Hollywood movies, I loved the sappy love stories. But today’s Bollywood seems to have just lost its way — they want to be Hollywood, but they can’t seem to get there because they never seem to pay enough attention to the plot — it’s almost always, “accept what we tell you even though it contradicts what happened just 10 minutes ago”. At least, that’s my opinion.
Hadn’t seen “Pushpaka Vimana” but thanks for the recommendation. Will give it a watch — I do love Kamal Hassan movies but back then, I was mostly watching Tamil stuff 😛
