How would Bollywood done bad in Hollywood would look like? The answer is "Moulin Rouge".

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 2004)

If you're into loud, gaudy, sentimental films then this movie might have something to offer but I found unenjoyable for all the above reasons.
The production design, music, dance and Nichole Kidman's acting are the only good thing about the movie. This movie could've been so much better. I've to give credit for conceptualizing the movie and for putting all the $50 Million on the screen but in the end it fails grandly as a film.
I know where Baz Luhrman comes from, I really liked his earlier movie 'strictly ballroom' but I could not sit through "Moulin Rounge". I also understand this movie is more about "form" than about story but even there it fails to produce anything good. Infact, this is a very badly done bollywood movie (and Hollywood movie)
First, the story is total rip-off of Bollywood films and Bollywood cliches are all over the place. Two, the form is gaudy and no where as naive as Bollywood films. Three, this is nowhere near to the Hollywood musicals. Four, the direction the terrible. Five, Save time and don't see this movie.
