Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge – #21 “Bride and Prejudice”
February 27th, 2009
Welcome Everyone to our 21st Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, where this week we thought we would rock out to some Bhangra and Garba - all musical styles from the movie: Bride & Prejudice, which is the Bollywood version of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". Bollywood is one of the largest film producing industries in the world (the name is derived from splicing Bombay, India with Hollywood, USA). The Bollywood style is filled with muscials, amazing dance numbers and a lot of color and drama and plot twists. This movie, Bride & Prejudice is one of the first crossover movies with a leading Indian Actress: Aishwarya Rai, in an English movie. Aishwarya, was not only crowned Miss World in 1994, but has also been named as the world's most beautiful woman and in India - she is a mega superstart diva.sl
