in Bombay Today

Kim and I are now in Bombay. Bombay is the Bollywood capital of India so we had to go see a Bollywood movie.

The movie we saw was called Singh is Kinng. We really enjoyed it even though it was all in Hindi with a couple English words thrown in.

From what we could tell, a village idiot like an inspector Clouseau or a Mr Magoo accidentally becomes the gangster boss, helps out an old lady who, as it turns out happens to be the mother of a girl he fell in love with, teaches the real gangster some lessons about his friends, and they get married in the end.

The production values were really good with scenes shot in India, Egypt and Australia. Some water stunts, car chases, music choreography and a Snoop Dogg cameo were more than we expected.

Tomorrow we are heading up north to Rajasthan which is supposed to be one of the most beautiful areas in India.
