This movie has everything. First let me tell you about the genre as listed on imdb, Action/Drama/Romance/Musical/Comedy. So good. So for those of you that don't know much about Bollywood, it's basically a genre of Indian film that is usually a long and complicated love story with tons of arbitrary and hilarious song and dance numbers.
Anyways, Main Hoon Na, is great to start out with because it stars Shah Rukh Khan, the Tom Cruise of India. He's the best romance/action/musical star in the world. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but basically Shah Rukh Khan is a Major in the Indian Army, and after a terrorist kills his father, he has to go undercover as a college student to protect the general's daughter from the same terrorist as well as find his estranged step-brother and have him help scatter their father's ashes. And then there's all sorts of love stories too! This movie alternates scenes of impossible Matrix-esque action with absurd, over-the-top dance numbers. It's extremely well written and very funny.
Here's a clip from the film. The main character has just saved the life of the most popular kid at school, so now everyone is showing how much they love him.
And here's a compilation of some action clips from the movie, set to "In the End" by Linkin Park. I thought there time in the sun was done, but no, here they are again.
Oh. And Merry Christmas.
