Oscar vs Bollywood, Tollywood

I'm sorry, i know you've probably heard this everywhere else and are trying to take a refuge from it but i just couldn't help but post this.
This is something both the other(inactive blogger) and me agree upon and constantly talk about and well, we are big time movie buffs... there i said it!! telugu and hindi movies

What i feel offended to is not by slumdog millionaire or the oscars award something that has so many flaws and as much stupid melodramatic idiocity or even the "intelligentsia" who live in their aloof world surrounded by the walls of their ego and hundreds of desperate wannabes.

What i am offended by is that "WE" make such a big deal out of it. i say this with all my pride, i love bollywood and id say tarak would say the same about tollywood. To all the critics of the world who criticize bollywood cinema and say its not up to any good, please talk about something you understand. Bollywood is not about some fictional fight which assumably took place long long time ago in a galaxy far far away and certainly not about some bloody homosexual who won an election, bollywood is about entertainment, pure, unadulterated entertainment. Of course we are defined by the phenomenal hits every year and few lesser spoken outstanding movies like Dasvidhaniya but the bigger picture is the movies like Singh is king or some other movie the critics make fun of. I agree there are truly terrible movies also made, but at the same time i know for sure, there is some construction worker out there, who earns 80Rs per day, maybe, will skip his afternoon lunch and go for watching the first day first show of the movie where maybe the hero miraculously beats up a hundred bad guys with cruel intentions, dance with the heroin, show no sex, if they do show a rape scene where the actress has her hand held till eternity till the hero comes and saves her........ etc etc, but remember one thing that guy there, will enjoy it... it is what he thinks his money is worth and you have no right what so ever to tell him that he is wrong. 
The oscars/any other such awards don't know/appreciate this. i don't blame them, your american, i understand your dumb. but what i don't like is someone from my own country going and accepting that they are right(if that someone was one or 2 i wouldn't mind but when it floods my tv and everyone is talking about it, i do mind thank you very much)

About the song, without doubt A R Rahman has made much much better songs than the one he got an oscar for and well the oscar might be injustice to his other work, but you've got to appreciate the guy for being so simple and no minding about it. 

about tollywood and more i hope tarak haleday will post later, but this topic is not closed, after further inputs i will post later
