Indeed there are completely different and also imo better. Travelling India is something everyone should do, after you spend the 1st week pretty much exculisly on the loo, its a amazing experience.

Has anyone here watched a Bollywood flick? Lots of singing and scene changes

Im hoping I can go to something in the India Festival while Im there tho Im only there 53 hours from Weds 26th and plan on seeing Damien Hirst's crystal skull, maybe a documentary at the IDFA, pop along to the Cannabis Cup and do a fair amount of smoking, which may scupper the other plans, its all in the toke
