The more Bollywood I watch, the more astounded I am at the sheer range and versatility of the actors and actresses. Everybody has to be able to dance. I think SRK has had more roles than Johnny Sins https://t.co/JQpCMznlXF

There’s a common criticism of bollywood films and other forms of mainstream pop culture for being too formulaic, too predictable. I think this criticism is too broad (and ironically, itself too formulaic and predictable). IMO is real value in the eternal, universal stories here https://t.co/eUih9DZE34

Stories about friendship, romance, conflict, anger, fights, struggles - these things are always relevant. I’ll call them obsolete when we live in a utopian wonderland of kindness and love. Until then, there’s always space for stories for us to live into, and learn from https://t.co/GoiE5jid38

Are you perfect in all your relationships, as you conduct your life with infinite bliss? If you’re not, there’s a story out there that will nourish you. Perhaps you’ve developed an immunity to certain stories, but there’s always a crack somewhere, for the light to get in https://t.co/WNCVAxVZ2c

was rewatching and I really enjoyed this scene (which is a payoff to a whole movie's worth of buildup) "We don't want anything from the world, just a place in everyone's hearts" interesting to compare and contrast with other nations' soft power / patriotic attempts https://t.co/4knEyK2Vgr
