[QUOTE="nanoneo, post: 1155939, member: 28033"] While I agree that it makes business sense to set these movies in 'NRI' land, there are much bigger socio-cultural issues at work here. The life represented in these movies symbolises the 'Indian dream'. Often you're standing in society is dependant on whether your children/siblings etc are living abroad. Bonus points if you yourself studied/worked in a foreign country. Also, the NRI setting isn't the biggest problem these movies have. Nearly every film produced under these banners is just recycled formulaic drivel. Does it really make a difference if this drivel is set in India or abroad? Escapism to the fantasy 'Indian dream' world will always be escapism, regardless of the setting. As long as the audience gets that, these people will continue making movies in this setting. Edit: I blame my generation and the generation before mine for this phenomenon. We made DDLJ a big hit. We are to blame. Now, I always catch heat for calling DDLJ a bad movie, but it is objectively a bad movie. Just take of you’re rose tinted glasses. [/QUOTE]
