If Bollywood and Alpine landscapes seem like a weird pairing, it may be time to reconsider. It turns out that Bollywood has a long legacy in Switzerland. A Bollywood heroine in a sultry chiffon saree singing and dancing on what looks like a snow-covered mountain somewhere in Switzerland. In this episode, Isha & Shivani look at Bollywood and how it has served as an escapist experience for its audience, with Bollywood song and dance sequences being a way for the audience to escape from the daily grind. They discuss recent movies like Kalank and Gully Boy, along with sharing their love for the all time blockbuster movie, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Finally Isha & Shivani explore the basic Bollywood movie formula. Which usually means, a handsome, heroic looking character, preferably by the name of Raj or Rahul. Add a pretty girl with an antagonistic father. Mix them into a thinly plotted love story with lots of singing and dancing. Throw in a fight or two to cover up the lack of plot. Give the father an epiphany—whether logical or not—that our hero is suddenly the only one for his daughter. Conclude by bringing the lovers together in a Shaadi (wedding), with lots more singing and dancing at the end. Subscribe to receive notifications about new episodes every week.
