But one thing I worry about is getting the size correct, and the way the article looks on you...which can't be done exactly if you order online.

Haha. I can't really read Devanagari (Hindi script) either; just a few letters.<br /><br />But Urdu and Hindi are essentially the same language when spoken; the written part (and obviously the alphabet) is what's different. In conversational terms, it's all very mixed nowadays, especially in Bollywood because many of the lyricists or dialogue writers are Muslim and speak Urdu. So if speaking/hearing is what you're after, Hindi and Urdu are the same; only the writing is really different.<br /><br />They offer Hindi classes at UF, but they're intense (five days a week). I never had time for one.The Mighty Mangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396679854779338852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489071400252479174.post-24977609505251758442012-09-14T00:43:53.660-04:002012-09-14T00:43:53.660-04:00Oh and I want to learn Hindi too!

But since I know how to read and write Arabic, I thought I'd learn Urdu first, as it would be easier for me than starting to learn a whole new alphabet (as they'll teach you here in college, along with grammar). After getting my conversational Urdu down, I'll most likely be able to understand Hindi, since they're very similar. My pakistani friends always watch Hindi movies and understand them perfectly. Do you know if they offer Urdu classes at UF? Or conversational Hindi?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079371121545512326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489071400252479174.post-81887204533793201842012-09-14T00:35:00.636-04:002012-09-14T00:35:00.636-04:00Thank you for the link!

Glad you found my blog (I say "my...Hi, Sameer! Glad you found my blog (I say "my" because my co-bloggers have all but vanished!). :) I actually graduated from UF in December, and I'm in Tampa now. Right around the time I left, the theater in Butler Plaza began showing Bollywood movies (I saw Ra.One there). It's generally my policy to support any Bollywood movie that comes to the theater, whether I want to see it or not. :) <br /><br />I speak some conversational Hindi now and watch some movies without subtitles, but I know what you mean about finding subtitles... The India Bazaar (next to a great Indian restaurant) on 34th Street has good DVDs for $4-$6, but if you buy NEW releases, they tend to be low-quality ripoffs... Online, YouTube has a pretty good selection of older Bollywood movies/classics, but yeah, the subtitles do sometimes cut out. I recently found this website, which is pretty good and has subtitles, so try it out: http://www.einthusan.com/movies/index.php?lang=hindi (Ek Tha Tiger won't be there yet, though.)<br /><br />I know what you mean about people finding it odd/weird. My obsession with desi culture is more than just Bollywood, though that's where it started and of course a very large part. My family thinks I'm crazy! Haha. And I swear any time I walk into a theater, desis think, "Who is this silly white girl?!" haha. :) Oh, well. I love Bollywood enough to overlook the stares. :)The Mighty Mangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396679854779338852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489071400252479174.post-31081050812165145462012-09-07T22:12:34.513-04:002012-09-07T22:12:34.513-04:00Omg, first let me say I'm so happy I stumbled ...Omg, first let me say I'm so happy I stumbled on your blog! I am starting at UF too, and I've been wondering where to see Hindi films nearby. I heard there was a cinema in Gainesville that shows Bollywood movies. I don't know how frequent, I think it was for Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl that I really wanted to see!<br />I am an Arab-American male that also loves Bollywood! I know a couple people too that watch it, but I think I'm one of the few that's actually obsessed with desi culture. Arabs in general kinda like Bollywood movies (in the Middle East), but here in America, everyone finds it odd/weird. Like my parents find it odd too haha. Anyway, I've seen around 30 films too, but not in such a short span as you guys. I got this obsession like from November last year (2011). Dostana was my first movie to watch and I loved it! Then I saw Band Baaja Baarat, which I also loved. The last one I saw was Kahaani and AgentVinod, both which I found very good (especially the former). Anyway, I want to watch Ek Tha Tiger! Especially since it came out on Eid this year!! But, one problem I find facing many non-desis interested in watching Bollywood is finding them with English subtitles. Personally, I don't have Netflix, etc, and I usually find websites where I watch my videos online for free. It is really hard to find them with eng subs, or even if they say they have eng subs, half the movie doesn't have them! So, that frustrates me, and I was wondering where/how you watch them? Can you understand Hindi by now (I'm on my quest of learning it, I know some words/phrases)?

You should.<br />2. Pakistan always has to make a big deal. It's in their makeup. :P But yeah, if history is any indicator, it wouldn't have mattered. Didn't they ban all Indian movies for decades? Don't think that stopped anything!<br />3. Some of the handful of groaningly exaggerated moments were fun. Not the plane scene though, because I was sitting there thinking the whole time... he would've gotten sucked off of the plane. lol.<br />4. I still haven't seen Kahaani. But I can't stand film women who can't fight. Ever. Also, glad you thought she looked good in traditional attire. She just looked awkward in it to me, like she felt out of place.<br />5. Glad someone agrees on bagpipes.<br />6. I actually thought it was dragging toward the end, but maybe that's because it was like midnight at the time I was watching the end of the movie.
