Let’s go.

Not all of us have that funny Indian accent depicted in movies. Also, we don’t look as shabby as depicted in the entertainment industry. No, not even Raj. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) is in fact married to a very hot lady, who is a supermodel.

The entire India doesn’t look like its depiction in Slumdog Millionaire. We do have slums in India, of course, but thinking that entire India looks like this is just plain wrong.

Sorry, but Indians are not playing “Holi” (festival of colours) all the time. It is one festival out of the many other hundreds of festivals. Not all Indians celebrate it. We don’t even get a holiday on Holi in Southern part of India.

Not all parents force their children to get “arranged marriages” (movies often show that two “friends” fix that their children who are right now 2 and 4 years old would get married when they get older).
If I am being honest, most of the parents I know prefer that their kids look for a potential bride/groom themselves. Even parents are so over the “arranged marriage” scene. But it’s a good thing that someone’s got your back if you can’t find a suitable partner for yourself.

India is not always as colourful as depicted in the movies. That’s Rajasthan mostly. And processed imagery and videos. Regular autos-rickshaws are black, not multicoloured.

Indian girls/ladies are not always dressed as conservatively. The party scene in cosmopolitan cities (like Mumbai, Delhi) is almost on par with, if not better than, the western party scene.

We don’t break into a dance in the middle of the streets. And even let’s say we did, how would everyone know the choreography?

We don’t roam around the city wearing kilos of gold. Only brides in some parts of India do this, on their wedding day. Only exception is Bappi Lahiri, who wears kilos of gold even when he is asleep (that’s my guess).

Stalking in Indian film is the most successful way to get the girl you want. Stalking is something every Hero does in Indian films. He will stalk the Heroine everywhere. Office, college, house, bedroom, bathroom, swimming pool, on road, some foreign country, even on the moon.

This tactic has become so popular in Indian films that an Indian man in Australia was acquitted of the charges for stalking a woman because he said he learnt it from Indian films. Hence the court concluded that this must be an Indian culture to stalk women.

This is the worst movie cliché for the Indian cinema.

Thank You.
