It's like navigating the world for the first time. Things are not as they seem or where I expect them to be.
Communities for Indian cinema and Bollywood/gossip
Migrating a little from Reddit, even though the official mods haven't. Hoping not to step on any toes, and planning on a lonely journey for the first few months (only, I hope)
Fingers and toes crossed. Typing on a laptop feels too old-school for me lmao
Welcome to the world of Indian Cinema!
Indeed, this is a slight misnomer. What or who is desi vs. South Asian? Recognizing that Indians from the subcontinent tend to have friction with the term "South Asian," it still encompasses the countries that share some cultural commonalities (like food, clothing, language, genetics).
That said, here are three *Indian *films to get started with: -1. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayange (1995) -2. Sholay (1975) -3. 3 Idiots (2009)
I don't expect any complete newbies to Indian film to hang around these parts, so feel free to add any more suggestions for those said noobs. After all, discussing Indian films is why this community exists. Posts may be in any appropriate language - know that your audience is predominantly English speaking.
Well, currently, I'm confused af and I think I signed up unnecessarily to like three different fediverse sites, trying to understand this. We have a long way to go on the decentralized front when so many corporations and users exist on mainstream platforms.
Yeah, definitely confused about this + mobile access, since I haven't tried to use lemmy.world on a phone yet...
