Rab Ne Bana di Jodi

Back in December my family somehow ended up with this mysterious Bollywood movie that has turned out to be the beginning of a full-blown fetish. We hadn't really experienced much of Indian culture outside of the Bombay House on the Ave. (100% recommended), but now I think we all harbor secret dreams of waking up Indian someday.

Watch this clip and you will understand.


There is so much vibrant color that you can practically smell the incense. The music truly lifts you and you find yourself dancing--body and heart. And the plot is the most beautiful part! The title is revealed to mean "This couple is made by God" and the movie shows through an arranged marriage how love is about what we are willing to sacrifice for each other rather than compatibility or circumstance.

Since Christmas we have now seen three more Bollywood films. Though Rab Ne Bana di Jodi is still my favorite, I really appreciate finding new ones in order to immerse myself in another culture and learn from the wisdom of other people with different lifestyles than my own.

Okay. Because I am generous. One more:

    Haha! You're so cool. Someday I hope to be as cool as you. I love Bombay house but I can't say I have paired that love with watching a Bollywood flick! Thanks for the fun idea :)
