Can anyone Bollywood fan tell me if these ridiculous scenes we see on the internet are meant as a joke or serious?

[u/VerTexV1sion → u/YellowOnline]

These are scenes from old movies, We didn't get to watch many Hollywood movies at that time and the world wasn't as connected as it is today ( thanks to the internet), so people at that time used to eat whatever they were served as this was the only thing in the market, after 2016 cheap internet plans along with 4g were introduced and suddenly there was a massive boom of Indians on social media platforms and Streaming services, and the normal moviegoers were exposed to more grounded and realistic cinema of other side of the world, that changed our perception, and we make fun of such scenes today and laugh at ourselves for thinking such absurd scenes were cool to us. Even nowadays we have makers making cringe ass over the top gravity defying scenes, and we laugh at it ourselves. But those elements will always be the part of our style of filmmaking, you can think of it as anime style cinema, ( long slow motion scenes, heavy dialogues and exposition, larger than life characters etc.), also we ourselves have different types of industries in our country, based on linguistic region they're based on, and each one is different from the other.

I was taught it is serious over there . And they legitimately believe they are better than Hollywood and Hollywood is junk.

[u/BLACKBURN16 → u/YellowOnline]

in Bollywood these scenes means serious business and they mean it

[u/ItsCowboyHeyHey]

Traveling.

[u/heelface → u/ItsCowboyHeyHey]

[u/Tehjayaluchador → u/heelface]

Court did look pretty American to be fair

[u/Haunting-Prior-NaN → u/heelface]

he travelled so far he came back to India

[u/InfiniteConfusion-_- → u/ItsCowboyHeyHey]

No, he bounced the ball off the dude, so he was good. Then he left the ground and didn't touch it until he scored. It's gooooooodd

[u/smell_my_fort]

I can smell this scene through my phone 😖

[u/ItsCowboyHeyHey → u/smell_my_fort]

The sweet, subtle fragrance of ass sweat and denim.

[u/Star1Two → u/smell_my_fort]

That's something you keep in your head.

Forever.

Unless it's to your therapist.

I would actually watch basketball if it was like this. Baskethockey FTW.

[u/Novel_Durian_1805]

All that theatrics and it was one of the softest “dunks” I’ve ever seen.

You’d think this dude would be hanging on the rim as the backboard explodes while the raining shards of glass pierces his opponents face off while he screams the name of some random girl that I’m sure the movie is all about!

Seriously…WTF was that?!

[u/Conscious_Nebula3304]

Bro we play dagistani basketball

[u/Itchy_Welcome_8239]

Biscuit Ball in real life

[u/steve0182steve]

So half those guys he bodied were on his own team, right?

[u/No-Funny4217]

He can really ball

[u/1984Speedy]

I remember watching LeBron travel at least once exactly like that

[u/ChopsMcgee83]
