It's love -- Bollywood style -- in director Mira Nair's new film, Monsoon Wedding. Carl F. Gauze tries to catch the garter.
... for long courtship. He meets her, falls in love, brings her around, and weds in four days. He's Speedy Gonzales with a pager. A cut above so many Bollywood romances, Monsoon still encapsulates all the clichés -- loud Hindi pop tunes trapped somewhere between early rock and roll and klezmer, long dance ...

Bappiwood Remixes (Bappiwood). Review by Bill Campbell.
... with Zapp-ish touches) and "Dil To Dil Hai" are even passable. Bappiwood is an opportunity missed. As DJ Quick has proven with "Addictive," a lot of Bollywood music could work very well among hip-hop and dance fans over here in the right hands.

Various Artists (Mondo Melodia / Ark 21). Review by Bill Campbell.
... may now be Patel or Singh, and he hails from Madras instead of Motown. But he does live and, instead of producing cars, movies are his thing. Bollywood, baby. Where singers are locked up in sweatshops, belting out thousands of songs a day and new movies deluge the subcontinent like monsoon rain. But ...

... and sexy. We've got James Bond-esque spy themes, and bumpin' electro tunes like "Stupid F**k." Pharma may be from Germany, but I sense traces of Bollywood, of recontextualized sounds liberally tossed together. Unlike Bollywood, however, UMO3 cares about giving these sounds a good new home, and shelter ...

Manil Suri's debut novel, The Death of Vishnu explores the facts and foibles of class struggles and the quest for spiritual enlightenment through the eyes of a dying apartment building handyman. Terry Eagan explores the rich and unusual novel.
... BY MANIL SURI Norton Manil Suri's first novel, The Death of Vishnu, is an interesting and captivating novel that combines the rich elements of Bollywood and Hindu mythology with a narrative worthy of Dickens.

OK, it only looks like a pop culture magazine. Carl F. Gauze reveals the true mission of Ink 19.
... , and ultimately control popular culture in the West. And since the third or fourth world produces little beyond bizarre drum solos from Uganda and Bollywood romance films, we are what stands between you and complete cultural annihilation.

Various Artists (Putumayo). Review by Bill Campbell.
... . They, like this disc, are fighting to uneven results. Asian Grooves is an amalgamation of South Asian cocktails containing classical, bhangra, and Bollywood along with R&B, and electronica.

The Alan Lomax Collection (Rounder). Review by Bill Campbell.

... collection of African and Indian and what not, all upbeat and danceable. There's Kamel Nitrate with "The Big Bhang," sounding like hundreds of Bollywood dancers gyrating in the rain.
