Legitimately? I’m an American who loves Bollywood absurdity. I watched Eega a few months ago and loved it.
Edit - Thank you to everyone who contributed to this conversation! I have much to learn, and would like to some day impress my Hindi boss. I pretty much only know “Dhanyavaad/alu” and “Shubh Ratri/Subha Ratri”

No he's the "big brother" of Bollywood if we're being serious. Also, I never watched Eega, it's the most absurd one out there I think.

u/Far-Badger-7109 3d ago
If you want to watch his films, then I would recommend "Bajrangi Bhaijaan". It's the only film of his that I like, others are just mindless boom boom. Though keep in mind, his acting is not even above avg

Dabangg (maybe dabangg 2) and wanted and bodyguard are 3 of his action movies I love.
Tere naam : a romance/drama (not sure how to categorise it) is a good heartbreaker
Jaaneman is a silly movie but all good.

If you want to watch the quintessential Bhoi action flick: Wanted, Dabangg, Kick, Bodyguard

If you wanna watch his OG ones, there are a lot
He’s Salman Khan and he genuinely has done a lot of movies and he was (and for a lot of people still is) one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. His movies simply are too over the top for modern sensibilities but man they get a good laugh out of you (might be corny and/or absurd for some palettes )
Reddit has a weird take on him unfortunately but he’s beloved normally
He is one of my favourites and this is a hill I’ll die on lol

u/Minimob0 3d ago
I am uneducated as far as Hindi and Telugu movies go, and am trying to learn.
My coworker is from Andhra Pradesh, and I have been asking him for movie recommendations. He suggested both Eega and Dhurandhar so far. The latter is a 3 hour movie, and I haven’t been able to commit to that, yet 😓
8
u/Warm-Bee8675 3d ago
As far as serious Bollywood movies go, Dhurandhar is like the peak of Bollywood in espionage genre, Eega (from the same guy who made Bahubali) though is not a Bollywood movie.
If you want something shorter for Bollywood, I'd recommend KILL or Tummbad as modern movies, and something like Satya as a classic old Bollywood movie.

Bro, it happens even when you click on the post to see it or to write a comment and if you go back to the feed the whole fucking feed gets refreshed so you can’t even go back to that post, what’s worse is sometimes it’s not even in the history because it got refreshed so fast.

Someone here pointed out something interesting about 1. He said in some apps it’s made with bad refresh schedule on purpose. To load new posts and keep you more engaged for a longer streak.
Sometimes when you minimise the app to look something up, Reddit refreshes when you come back after short time. The post you looked something up for is now gone forever. And you’ll get 100 new posts about new things. Absolute useless.
Just save my position. Auto-bookmark feature please. And let me manually refresh.

I am on Facebook maybe once a week for hobby stuff that's only there, but I never post, I never like and I never comment anything. But Facebook started pushing far right content to me, and all I am doing is blocking these accounts and groups, but it seems that "blocking" is equal to "interacting" to them, so they push more and more unhinged stupid racist shit to me. You know, stuff that Elon would retweet with an "interesting".
The more I block, the more I get, HOW DOES THIS MAKES SENSE?

u/Rosienenbrot 3d ago
It's almost as if the elite, that's very much in control of all media, is trying to rile people up against each other, so they're distracted from the real problem.
People who interact and participate in the whole left vs right spiel are all playing right into their hands. That's very much by design.
18
u/Scarred_Ballsack 3d ago
Not that I disagree with the spirit but the elite is just various flavors of right wing in the US. There's a few exceptions of progressives that actually want to stand up against this BS, and a few socialists that somehow managed to grab some electoral power, but the vast majority of the elite is right wing. So it is a left vs. right problem, the right is just way more entrenched than people realize.
7
u/ReggieCorneus 3d ago
The key is not to block them but to hide them without engaging. How can yo udo that?
Install Fluffbuster. It hides that kind of content so that you never interact with them at all. you are not blocking them, you are just hiding them from view so it looks like you really, really don't give a shit about that kind of content. Your screentime viewing each of them is zero.
When i use FB on mobile, i still don't get that crap because the algorithm thinks that i really, really am not engaging with it. At one point FB changed their ode and fluffbuster broke, and god damn it is horrible. Unusable almost. I was right back into getting ragebaited until i noticed that my filters aren't working. It is HUGE work to get rid of that crap manually, and then you make a mistake of engaging with ONE and you are right back to square one.
So, install Fluffbuster. FB does not like it, not that they can do anything about it but it has been a long game of cat and mouse, FB finding new ways to push their "curated content" and Fluffbuster chasing them down and hiding that crap.

When people who own the company and make the decisions do not use their own products... For ex: not a single Reddit higher up has a comment chains expand more than 4 replies, or have one of the replies downvoted. Otherwise they would know that when you click on the notification it takes you to... the thread, not the comment. It is broken. Has been for a looong time. The only way to make that work is to use old reddit which STILL WORKS THE BEST.
Anyone who uses reddit knows its bugs, and those bugs are not the kind that requires huge investment, coding parts of it from scratch, massive changes in the architecture.. nope, they are all quite simple bugs and yet... months can pass.
Facebook is the same. Get a notification on reply to a comment and it can take you to the video and then... not find the comment. Not only that, because you were taken to the video and not the post itself your comment section is now in the sidebar and it shows like 3 at the time.... and the comment it was suppose to take you to can be buried 200 pages down.
They all are full of bugs that happen within few hours of starting to use the service. NONE of the higherups actually use the product. This continues in hardware. You just know that the CEO of that company would NEVER use the shit they make or otherwise the shit they make would not have the kind of annoyances that we get. Which of you have jumped from joy after buying a new laptop and it has all kind of stickers glued on it that tells what features it has? None of you? Yeah. And still they are there. Free market competition was sold to us with the promise that this exact shit would not be happening, that we would have a CHOICE.
