Bollywood ambition
Virginie 2022-04-19 09:02:49
In terms of production and audience, India can be regarded as a real "movie kingdom". More than a thousand movies are produced every year, which is several times that of Hollywood. The daily audience of as many as 30 million people is also difficult for other countries to match. However, the prosperity of Indian movies has not been able to get rid of the situation that the film is blooming inside the wall and not fragrant outside the wall. Foreign income and effects are very weak. Now, with the involvement of multinational capital and India's plan to enhance the country's soft power, the situation has finally changed. This "From India to China" clearly reveals Bollywood's ambitions to go global. The film tells the story of an Indian chef who works odd jobs at the Moonlight Market. A group of Chinese farmers who are oppressed by gangsters think that he is the reincarnation of the god of war, so he made a mistake. After hitting the ground, he came to China to fight against the leader of the evil gangster. After some setbacks, under the teachings of Chinese masters, he finally achieved a positive result, defeated the evil, and became a hero. The old-fashioned Chinese kung fu film routine, but after incorporating a lot of Indian film-specific singing, dancing and comedy elements, it becomes fresh, lively and funny. During the screening at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Center, thousands of audience members laughed and applauded more than a dozen times. It can be seen that this exotic hodgepodge of spoofs at least entertained the Hong Kong audience, even if it was really not nutritious.
