Kal Ho Naa Ho

"Tomorrow may never come" is a Bollywood movie that some friends of ours brought back from India. Our friends spent 6 months there investigating possibilities for going back as missionaries. They began learning the language and spent some time studying history, culture, etc. This movie is, I've been told, very typical of the Bollywood movies - over 3 hours long with several musical numbers thrown in for fun (and lots of energetic dancing). Although it has a couple of scenes that we skip when we watch it and it is in Hindi, it is an okay movie. I must admit that it is a tear-jerker. Watching it with Jaynie was a great opportunity to discuss some basic beliefs held by Hindus & Moslems (there are references to these beliefs in different parts of the movie). Also, it shows some of the differences between the people of the different regions or provinces of India. I must admit that I now want to watch more Bollywood movies as long as they have subtitles in English or Spanish (so I can understand the story!). And, this is a great way for us to remember our friends as they prepare to return to India next spring as missionaries.
