David Das, a handsome guy who came back from London, is indeed very personable. He didn't even enter the house, but went to the house of this girl named Paro, which of course made his mother unhappy, especially his family has an eldest daughter-in-law who is good at fanning the flames. . The flowers of love bloomed overnight after the reunion, only her in his eyes, and only him in her heart. Paro's mother is a very enthusiastic person, who puts her daughter's happiness above everything else. She begins to imagine the happy scene of the couple's union, but she doesn't notice her husband's melancholy eyes at all.
David Das's family has noble Brahmin blood, his father was knighted by the British royal family, and he looked down on the commoners around him. And although the Paro family has become rich, they are from lowly dancers. The concept of "matching the right household" is as ingrained in India as it is in China. Davedas's mother came up with a trick to play tricks on Paro's mother, calling her to pretend to agree to their marriage, and asking her to dance in front of the guests to cheer her up. When the poor mother came to show her favor with the silver plate of marriage proposal, the lady knocked over her silver plate and proudly said that she was only here to entertain guests. How could her son marry a pariah? Daughter as wife? Faced with such a humiliation, Paro's mother was angry. She made an oath in front of everyone, saying that within 7 days, Paro would be married to a more prominent family than the Davidas family, and they would definitely pay for it in the future. .
Paro was reluctant to accept such a fate, and at two o'clock in the middle of the night, she slipped next door and asked Davidas for an explanation. He could only comfort her and say that he must beg her parents to let go, hoping that she would not give up easily. The lights came on, and his father stood at the door, attacking the innocent teenage girl with the most vicious language and beating his son. David Das left the house angrily and rushed to a friend's house to stay. Impulsively, he wrote a letter to Paro, denying the relationship between the two and proposing to break up. The letter directly prompted Paro to follow her mother's arrangement and agree to marry a widower who had been widowed for many years.
David Das's friend took him to a cabaret show, where he met a very beautiful dancer named Chanzomuki. The second song and dance of the film is performed by Chan Zuo Muqi, who also portrays the anxious and inexplicable appearance of a girl waiting for her lover to appear, and the contradictory state of mind constantly flashes in the repeated lyrics. This song and dance touched David Das, who was drinking to drown his sorrows. He remembered the torment Paro had suffered for him over the years, and giving up her was equivalent to giving up the whole world. When he rushed out of the dance hall, Chan Zuo Mu Qi stopped him. At this time, David Das said a line that moved me very much, "Women should be mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, friends, and when they are nothing, they become prostitutes." He took out his wallet and called Chanzomu. Qi quickly follows suit, and then rushes to Palo's house to stop her from marrying someone else. "Just looking back at you, made me think about the twilight and the dynasty", just such a small thing changed Chan Zuo Mu Qi's fate, she fell deeply in love with this infatuated man.
Paro is doing the final make-up, and the wedding party outside the door has been ordered to go. Davidas rushed into the boudoir, and Paro's mother shunned the others without saying a word. He took Paro's hand excitedly and asked her to run away with him, and confessed that writing that letter was not his intention at all, he loved her more than anyone, and only he could give her happiness. But it was too late, Paro couldn't ignore the reputation of her parents and family, she couldn't just walk away. David Das went crazy. He picked up a piece of jewelry and scratched Paro's forehead. Maybe only blood and wounds can make her remember their love? In this way, he personally carried the sedan chair to send the beloved girl out of the house. That night, he set fire to things in his room, his family persuaded him outside the door, and Paro's mother shouted from the opposite balcony, "My daughter and I were playing in the first half, and it's your turn in the second half. with your son."
When a person loses his spiritual support, he often chooses to anesthetize himself with alcohol. David Das was drunk on the street and was rescued by Chan Zuo Mu Qi. He had long forgotten what he had said to Chan Zuo Mu Qi, and instead insulted Chan Zuo Mu Qi with the same sharp words as his father, and refused her to touch him. But David Das, who had nowhere to go, still came to Chan Zuo Muqi's side, and there was a very wonderful dialogue here. Chan Zuo Mu Qi looked at David Das sadly and begged him to share a little love for him. Davidas held up a glass of wine and said, 'I'm like a wine glass full of Paro, and a little more will spill out onto the floor. Chan Zuo Mu Qi said that it doesn't matter if it flows on the floor, at least it touched the cup once.
Paro's life is actually unsatisfactory. After she married, she became the stepmother of 3 children, and her husband's heart was still his ex-wife. But she bravely faced her own destiny, and devoted herself to being a good mother and wife, winning the love of her mother-in-law and husband and the respect of her children. When she came back, just in time for David Das's father's death, she ran over to visit regardless of previous suspicions. This proud noble finally revealed his guilt before dying, and he received the most cruel punishment - his son was not there. Ended up by his side. At the funeral, David Das appeared. His drunken appearance and frivolous nonsense surprised everyone present. Paro, who wanted to rush up to hold him, realized his identity in everyone's eyes and could only stop. . The servants of the Davidas family came to the door and asked Paro to persuade him not to drink too much and to stop hanging out with dancers. This is the first direct contact between the two after Paro's marriage. David Das still doesn't give up and wants to escape with her. Does he really not understand? Everything has long been "things are people and nothing is done". Before Paro left, he swore to her that he would come to her and see her one last time before he died.
David Das's sister-in-law was plotting for family property, and together with her husband, she stole the key of her mother-in-law's safe and planned to keep it for herself. David Das exposes her conspiracy in person, and sets fire to force her to hand over the keys. When the chaos broke out, his mother came, and the wicked daughter-in-law complained first, saying that David Das was going to split up the family, and that he stole the key and wanted to take the money and squander it. Mother no longer believed him, he smiled sadly and turned away.
In fact, Paro still couldn't let Davedas go, so he took the opportunity of the festival to find Chan Zuo Mu Qi's home. The two women test each other with words. Emotionally, Chanzomuki is at a disadvantage because she does not have Davidas' love; but also emotionally, Paro is not at an advantage because she has to cover up and suppress Love for David Das. When Chanzomukila opened the door for Paro to search, proving that Davidas was not here, what Paro saw were the wine glasses, clothes and smells that Davidas left behind. Chan Zuo Mu Qi is daydreaming of being loved in such an atmosphere, what could be more desperate than desperate infatuation? Paro deeply understood and fell in love with Chan Zuo Mu Qi, she said that she was relieved when she was there.
A few days later, when the festival began, Chanzomuki came to her house at Palo's invitation. She felt very uncomfortable as a dancer, but Paro didn't mind, and told her mother-in-law that he was her good friend. One of her son-in-law, who coveted her beauty but was not available, overheard their conversation, a storm was about to hit...
Seeing this, it's been more than 2 hours, and it's almost 1 o'clock, I feel very tired. I don't know what kind of psychology, but I really want to know the ending, but I turned off the TV and went to bed. It doesn't matter how the movie ends, all hints point to tragedy anyway. Without watching it, the tragedy will not come, it will keep my impression forever of the moment when two women who are in love with the same man meet and exchange the latest information about him.
I rarely watch Indian films, but the one I remember most clearly is the "Wan Li" I watched when I was in elementary school. It tells about a little girl who suffers. One of the tortures is to make her roll around on a blanket full of thorns, which is miserable. The place goes straight to the crape myrtle, who was poked into countless holes by Mama Rong with a needle in "Han Zhu Gege". But this "Bollywood Life and Death" made me see the other side of this ancient country, with large pieces of red and gold, large white relief pillars, intricately carved domes, suffocatingly beautiful women, unstoppable Reasonable and rock-solid moral standards.
I checked the Internet during the day. "Bollywood Life and Death" has a lot of background. The plot comes from a classic love story that has been adapted many times. The heroine is the former Miss World, and the hero is called "Tom Cruise of India". Together with "Chicago" and "Moulin Rouge", it is also called the three most brilliant musicals in the film history of the new century. And "Bollywood" refers to Bombay, the center of Indian film production. Because Bombay starts with "B", the "H" in Hollywood was replaced by "B", which became Bollywood. (Bollywood).
PS: I actually wrote such a long introduction to the plot. People who haven’t watched this film probably don’t need to watch it after reading my introduction. It’s a sin.
