Bollywood.

After a full morning of (re)designing, we drove to Pondy for our first Bollywood film. We pushed through a very enthusiastic crowd of primarily young Indian men and, with the assistance of a friendly English-speaking sahbib, purchased balcony tickets: 33Rs each. We then waited with the crowd in the scorching heat for the doors to open; they only became more animated once inside. To compensate for the cheering and whistling, the movie soundtrack blared at a deafening volume.

Everything was in Tamil, so I could only follow the plot from what our friend told us and by the over-acting. I can only describe it as 30% action, 60% love story, and 10% Backstreet Boys-esque music video. Yes, India's hot, but Bollywood's where it's at.
