A successful Indian scientist (Shah Rukh Khan) returns to an Indian village to take his nanny (Kishori Balal) to America with him and in the process rediscovers his roots.

Indian cinema confuses the heck out of me. Or maybe not all Indian cinema and just what we call Bollywood. The earlier films (like Jean Renoir's "The River") make sense to me and are beautiful. Maybe that should not count as Indian cinema, but oh well. It hits hard.

The more modern Indian cinema seems to me to be bright colors and catchy pop songs. There is something to that, but I am not quite sure what the appeal is. These just do not strike me as the great works of art they could be.
