Hallyu rising in Indonesia, but Indian pop culture still loved after decades

Lol. China may be jealous of Japan's or South Korea's soft power, but definitely not India.

Not even Japanese soft power. Japanese soft power has been completely ineffectual at promoting Japanese interests, whether they be that of the population or of the state. Plaza Accord were still forced down their throat.

Go ask any Chinese whether this appeals to them.

I can say Indian music is quite distinct, this is why some people still like it. It give alternative to Western style music. Korean K Pop in my opinion is still a derivative of Western pop music.

Indonesian musician now is also trying to bring back our traditional style music and fuse it with modern music. @jamahir @nahtanbob. This one is Javenese style music while we still have other style like Minang, Malays, and others

The language is Javanese, even I dont understand what she is saying.........

Yes, that sounds logical.

That's a good fusion of old and modern music.

What's the string instrument called ?

You make it sound like Indian music is monolitihic like this which can't be far from the truth.

Yeah, K-POP is simply Asians copying western music too much.

I have offered to cease my PDF account if you prove that I am not American. In return, I expect you to cease your PDF account if you cannot prove that I am American. Show that you are a honorable person and not one of those shallow Indians and accept this bet like a man would. The Indians, you included, are all bark and no bite .

So, who you are? A Chinese-American?

Indian TV shows and movies are way too traditional. Nobody understands why there are 500 people living in one house, how one uncle can break your marriage, why parents-in-law can control the woman married to their son etc.

This is why K-Dramas easily took over Sri Lankan market. K-Dramas are more down-to-earth and inline with modern society. Indian dramas can be more popular in ultra conservative countries like Pakistan.

Can't be more ignorant. There are thousands of genres in which the art is made,
A random Hindi web-series -

A random Hindi pop-song

Random Hip-hop

A random bollywood movie

The thing is K-POP/K-Drama is made with keeping in mind the international sales while Indian art is not, any international hit is simply a matter of luck.

Patal Lok Trailer

Patal Lok is probably one of the best shows I have seen in recent times that dealt with a lot of Indian societal issues. Its gritty and real. Im glad Indian tv and cinema is moving in this direction.

I highly recommend this show which is available on Prime.

I watched this movie

The Raid (2011 film) - Wikipedia

Don't know what is wrong with the current generation in which why we must look up India and US for movie and K-Pop for movie and song, but in the past we had a very active Movie industries, our literature is thriving with the likes of Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Chairil Anwar, Taufiq Ismail, Toha Iskandar, N,H Dini and so on our local music is surely more "cadas" comparable even to the World standard much better compared to Korean type Music in which quite vulgar and mostly without any meaningful meaning.

Bollywood can be only popular in backward and poorly educated part of society. Once they are educated and procured more refined taste,the people go for East Asian entertainment.

This is somewhat correct. Indian movies and songs are normally popular among housewives of lower to lower middle income families of Indonesia. Middle to upper income normally go for KDrama or Western Film or even new Indonesian films. But this doesnt mean Indian entertainment products are bad, it is just Indian entertainment products are easier to grasp for people with such background.

With all of these rampant IP piracy it definitely kill the incentives to be creatives hence the lacks of appeal and option . At the end of the day people create more to earn more .
Jusk look at Bondan prakoso and the gank . I'll bet for my pack of djisamsoe's today allocation that the lack of steady income is what was kill their musical camaraderie ...
And yess... I'll take Bondan P's sound over any asian hard core music any day especially such wimpy *** K waves . Then again it comes over each person' taste and preferences isn't it ?
