Comedy 8/10
Like all Aamir Khan movies, this one is socially charge and full of meaning while still being cute, funny, and full of the feels. In this story it takes an alien, with all sincerity and taking things literal to question why so much crap happens in the name of religion. His earnest, sincere heart teaching everyone a lesson in love and the nature of God.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (2013)
Romantic Comedy: 7/10
So we have a playboy and a human rights activist who are in love. Sounds like an amazing opposites attract type deal. And it is. What is better is that it is more than just her teaching him to be less of a loser, she learns too. It is about learning, growing, and giving a shiz, and we have two great actors to portray all this character development, Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor.

Pardes (1997)
Drama 4/10
I love my India. Let's sing that song a million and one times. I love my India. Let's brainwash us all by singing this 10 minute song at least 5 times in the movie! Haha, well, this was made to celebrate the independence day or whatever it's called there and it is ridiculous. It is clearly meant to promote patriotism and all that, but they do it by demonizing America a bit, which is sad. It is interesting though, because it is like the opposite of DDLJ, as it is the Indian girl goes to America instead of the London girl goes to India, and the jerk fiance is American instead of Indian. Shahrukh still gets beat up again before the same dad decides that he is the right one for the girl.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011)
Romantic Comedy: 7/10
So after figuring out that Katrina Kaif wasn't that bad (I hated her in Jab Tak Hai Jaan) and wanting to give Imran Khan another chance she I knew he had to be better than I Hate Love Stories, I finally decided to watch Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. It was exactly what a needed. A good, actually funny romantic comedy. I mean, it had good relationship development and angsty love triangle without it being dumb, awkward, or bad, and that is hard to find.

Bang Bang! (2014)
Action Comedy: 8/10
This is Knight and Day, Bollywood style. I liked it better than Knight and Day (which I liked okay) but maybe that is because Hrithik Roshan is a million times sexier than Tom Cruise. Just saying. I also liked the adaptations that made it more pertinent to a Bollywood, such as the Hope Diamond being stolen and the importance of family, etc. I mean there was a little of that in the original, but not as much as this one. Not Bollywood cry style anyway.

Band Baaja Baaraat (2010)
Romantic Comedy: 5/10
Well, I wasn't really expecting much from this show. It looked cheesy. But that's not always a bad thing. But I was disappointed in the ending. The first half was ok, but when everything went dramatic and they were fighting all the time, it was not so fun. Then the ending didn't make up for that crap enough. So it's ok, but it's not my favorite. I do have to admit that it was just me being picky about immaturity that wasn't addressed that made me like it less. I wanted to see more growth.

Dhoom 2 (2006)
Action Comedy 5/10
Everyone told me that Dhoom 2 was better than Dhoom. Well that's just not true. They are pretty much exactly the same. I am really glad that I watched Dhoom first though, because it definitely made Dhoom 2 better. Especially with Ali's daydream jokes. The only think that makes this one better is Hrithik Freakin' Roshan, who consequently might be one of the sexiest men alive.
