Can Indian cinema go global?

[Aramsogo]

Unless tastes have very recently changed, in the United States (the world's biggest media market), Bollywood is just the butt of jokes. So this soft power is just Indian fantasy.

only those cinemas can go global which are made in global language. in today's world only lang which is global is english, that's why hollywood is famous all over the world. no matter how good the industry is but unless the work is not in english it can't claim itself to be global industry.

indian movies are for indian audiences & not for american audience. bollywood doesn't care abt what American ppl or any other thinks abt them.

If you want your local movies to go global, they should at least look like this(Currently planned for a nationwide US distribution).

This movie is relevant to Chinese posters because half of the movie takes place in China during the second Sino-Japanese War(Hence Fan Bing Bing in the cast), where Chinese soldiers are portrayed as cannon fodders and human bullet shields, followed by the Normandy in second half.

No one in the US has heard of this Korean flick. Then there's reality. And the real irony is that Koreans have always been the human body shield between great powers for at least the last 1,000 years. As history always has a way of repeating itself, Korea is setup to be a great human body shield again in this century.

Mr. FairandUnbiased,
Didn't know they screen all that in China... Isn't there like a limit or something ? I heard china has a limit on the maximum number of foreign movies that can be screened in a year. Or did you visit Germany recently ?

I have all year round vacation in Germany - unless I have to fly to Shanghai for a week for business. Isn't it cool?

The weather is never to cold or to hot, you just have to wear the right clothes.
