Hollywood could learn from Bollywood

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2017)

First I will state that I am not Indian.
This is the third Bollywood movie I've watched in as many weeks. Every one of them has been leaps and bounds better than the nonsense we are fed by Hollywood. Every aspect of these movies is better, from the writing, the character building, the passionate acting, and the top notch musical scores. All the technical qualities and filmography are first rate as well.
Airlift was no exception. The story was engaging, the characters inspiring, and the acting impeccable. The only slight knock, which is not even a knock in my opinion was that the spectacular multi-million dollar special effects you would expect to see in a Hollywood version of the opening scenes were a bit underwhelming. That said, I would trade these any day for the great story I got from the rest of the film.
Bollywood movies seem more in touch with humanity than products from Hollywood. Whereas Hollywood movies often leave you feeling that humanity is failing, movies like Airlift, Dear Zindagi, and others reconnect you with the best part of ourselves and show us that there is hope for us.
I'm becoming a real Bollywood fan. I also love how these films are often spoken partially in Hindi and often more than half in English, so I am able to enjoy the film without spending too much time reading the subtitles.
America, watch this film; you will not be disappointed.
