Desh Premee (1982) & Leprosy « Bollywood Food Club
White girls in Bollywood movies never cease to be entertaining, largely because they are only there for one of three purposes: 1) to be big skanky whores, 2) to symbolize a man’s wealth/virility/universally appealing machismo, and 3) to be a conniving witch — in one movie, even robbing the guy and tying him up in his hotel room.
Oh, Bollywood. You make me laugh.
PS: White girls have become much more common in Hindi movies, and in the last 5-10 years or so have even increasingly gotten roles that aren’t completely offensive. Rang de Basanti, Lagaan and Kisna are examples of films where white women are treated sympathetically and not simply as, well, sluts who are there to be decorative ornaments for men…or pure evil. If a film is based in America or Europe, you might also see white girls dancing around in the background of a cute, everyone-in-the-neighborhood-loves-to-dance song, fully clothed and like normal human beings.
PPS: I watch too many movies.
