Why Hindi films?

I have asked myself and been asked this question many times since I became besoted with Hindi films in 2006. Based on my mood and the situation I have produced absurd, logical, intellectual, cultural, linguistic and even an academic analysis of reasons.

I don't actually know why I am drawn to these films. I don't have a reason. Maybe it's because I find them fun. Or because I find it incredibly easy to lose myself in a world where lead characters usually endorse good family values, fall in love with beautiful heros or heroins, sing and dance perfectly.

Something about the culture and the storyline on show reaches out to me the way Sound of Music and Thoroughly Modern Milly did when I was 9 years old: just the right blend, at the right place, at the right moment in my life.
