Yes! There was one that had a cartoony theme, I liked it. And there was the one about car racing, also with Saif and Rani.

Which one? Monsoon Wedding? Monsoon Wedding was a 2001 film directed by Mira Nair and written by Sabrina Dhawan, which depicts romantic entanglements during a traditional Punjabi wedding in Delhi, in which A stressed father, a bride-to-be with a secret, a smitten event planner, and relatives from around the world create much ado about the preparations for an arranged marriage in India. There was subplot a love story between lower class people who worked for the house where the wedding was. And during that various things came out in the wash...the movie used a lot of as if handheld camera. I really liked it.

Yes, found it.

Band Baaja Baaraat

Shruti and Bittoo, two graduates from the University of Delhi, reluctantly enter the business world together by creating a wedding planning service, Released in 2010.

The cartoony one was Hum Tum and I liked it a lot too! It was unpredictable in some parts! And I haven't seen the one about car racing, I'll check it out. Same with Moonsoon Wedding. And I'll look up the one about the wedding planners, to see if I can find it

@Beca; That one was called Ta Ra Rum Pum, another one with Rani. Hope you'll like them. @Kamz: Yes, how correct: Until I found my kdramas lol. In my case, I rediscovered k-dramas, since my bollywood addiction came in the period of break from asian dramas. Seems like you watched some; thanks for the titles, I'll be checking these out, Kamz as I have not watched any.

Ta Ra Rum Pum was good..i watched it a long time back and i remember liking it a lot then...i don't like Saif so much these days lol...but i must admit he's a good actor..i loved his Omkara (with Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi and Kareena Kapoor), it's indian adaptation of Othello but you have to live in India and understand their culture to enjoy these kind of movies...

Mhm. And did you see the We're family one, which I think is supposed tob ase of an American movie with Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon?

@Beca lol ^_^ No, haven;t seen that one but lately I'm way behind with Bollywood, since I'[m mostly feeding my Korean-Japan-China addictiion. lol

I love Bollywood movies. You do have to like the "break into song and dance" AND be able to withstand movies that are generally 2 + hours. My absolute favorite is: Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Which I believe not only has an excellent and sweet love story, but the dances (Nimbooda is my favorite) and music are a joy to watch and listen to. The story is about a music teacher who accepts an Indian man raised in Italy and teach him to sing. The man falls in love with his favorite daughter. The daughter is a beautiful, carefree girl who first hates the guy and then falls in love with him. While in the wedding of a cousin, a family friends falls in love with her at first sight. He asks for her hand in marriage and is accepted by his parents. She is separated from the man she loves and marries, losing all her spirit. Her husband loves her so much that HE decides to travel to Italy and help her find the man she loves. Believe me, this movie will make you laugh, cry and leave you with a light heart at the end of the day. Other movies that are my personal favorite are: Devdas, My name is Khan, Kites. Just from the top of my head.
