Bollywood Basics
Here's a Bollywood FAQ that explains the various Indian traditions that pop up in Bollywood movies. In a nutshell: Wearing a bindi on your forehead actually doesn't mean anything (they're just pretty), vermilion in your part means you're married, and relatives will wag their thumbs at you if you try to kiss your husband in public. Even at your own wedding.
Plus, BollyWHAT??'s Top Ten (Bollywood) Films. I really, really need to rent all of these and devote a day to this stuff so that the next time Bollywood is in the news I won't feel like I'm missing out.
