my dear friend,let's sort this out point-by-point,yeah?
#1 - i was not comparing Dil Se to this movie.was just comparing the similar locales....people atop a train.nothing beyond that.period.
#2 - all movies made in bollywood is not trash and all movies do not have "happy endings and leave your brains at home stuff" as you put it.i guess the latest Oscar winning 'Slumdog Millionaire' is proff enough.please do your homework before you make strong statements like this.
#3 - a huge majority of people in rural india still travel atop trains.so it's nothing unreal to us.and about the singing and dancing....there may not be such glamourous extras but people do hum along regional and traditional songs to while away the time.since this is a movie,the director just added a bit of spice.that's all.
#4 - and about this particular movie in question, Dil Se was screened at the Era New Horizons Film Festival and the Helsinki International Film Festival. The film went on to win the Netpac Award for Special Mention at the Berlin International Film Festival, two National Film Awards, and six Filmfare Awards. The film was a success overseas, becoming the first Indian film to enter the top 10 in the United Kingdom box office charts.....so i wouldn't exactly classify it under 'trash'
