Indian & Chinese culture

Nobody in the west ever talks about chinese/indian movies, series, ect like we do for korea/japan

Why is this?

Surely with india and china being like 40% of world population there must be some banger movies?

I heard romance of the 3 kingdoms is a banger

Watch 3 idiots.
It is one of India's most rewatched, most loved films of all time. For a very good reason!

oh yeah forgot about that movie

bro I don't know how to read

The Four Famous Literary Masterpiece of China：
《Water Margin》《Romance of the Three Kingdoms》《The Journey to the West》《A Dream of Red Mansions》

yes this is goated indian movie

This might sit wrong with many people but many movies are really horrible or a copy in Indian movies, although some movies do stand out but are either less watched/promoted

I've only read the book, one of my top for comedy genre for sure

Nowadays Chinese film industry only goes for the look of actors/actresses, so the plot and script end up becoming trash, cringe, and unwatchable.

Btw - "A Love So Beautiful" is GOAT

I dont know much about Chinese movies and shows but Indian cinema has been on a downward slope in the recent years and the only thing keeping it afloat is the south Indian movies.

There is something profound about Chinese culture.I don't think foreigners can understand.
Such as XIU Xian修仙.The word comes from Taoism, a religion only in my country.
China has many movies and series about this.

China cares more about looks than good acting

A lot of dramas are more focused on landing the hottest idols than actual good actors

Let me explain briefly what this word means.
XIU Xian修仙：
The ancient Chinese believed that gods lived in the sky.The gods lived in the sky we called SHEN XIAN 神仙 in Chinese.
So xiuxian means that people can become SHEN XIAN through hard work.
There is a positive attitude involved.Believe in our own power.

Have you not heard about Bollywood before?

YOU SHOULDWATCH 3 IDIOTS

RRR
you can watch this masterpiece from India

Lelouch_Chaudhary [#22]

RRR
you can watch this masterpiece from India

I really don't understand the hype around this movie. It's not any kind of breakthrough in South Indian movies. Got the trademark absurd physics and then that song Natu Natu is so typical music style in South India. What's the strong suit?

"A Sun" is an amazing Chinese movie. I really hope anybody reading this watches it. It's slow but it's a beautiful movie. The next Chinese movie I'm gonna watch is Elephant sitting still. Which I've heard so much good things about. Can't wait.

neozi [#40]

The Kashmir Files is a great Indian movie, even better than three idiots

holy fuck, you dropped the 👑 king

Earlier when my friends outside India asked me for Indian film recommendations, I used to tell them to watch 3 idiots.

But now my recommendations are

• Tumbbad
• Kantara

Goated movies. Please do give a watch, it's worth watching.

Lelouch_Chaudhary [#22]

RRR
you can watch this masterpiece from India

RRR is dogshit lmao, generic physics defying movie. Even bahubali was much better than thar

iframedeez [#43]

3 Idiots is pretty fun tho idk about Chinese movies/series other than King's avatar

You should watch drishyam 1 and 2, its nice

gonfreacks [#31]

I like 3 idiots and taare zameen par from India. But thats all.

Give Drishyam a try

wizardbot [#57]

Give Drishyam a try

Wow...its on Netflix...I'll give a try. thx

For everyone here, The King's Avatar is an amazing chinese series. I read it, but apparently there's a Netflix version.

Lelouch_Chaudhary [#45]

what do you mean, explain yourself

Leave it bro you dont know one of the most famous one piece meme

Ra one is my favorite Indian movie of all time.

Cuz they aint high tech in media and film. Kpop and Anime > anything Chinese and Indian in terms of music/art&film industry. Thats the obvious answer.
Lol @ Chinese and Japanese trying to copy Kpop though.

Nachtel [#59]

For everyone here, The King's Avatar is an amazing chinese series. I read it, but apparently there's a Netflix version.

I've only seen the anime but yeah it is pretty good, I might pick up the lightnovel

1 out of 20 Indian movies is good.. too diluted content

dino_zwei [#28]

Epic, loved both of them. Unfortunately the expectations from drishyam 2 was so high it didn't gross that good but it was a nice sequel.

Bro there is a Tamil movie called Ratchasan give it a try. I don't know it is available in English or not.

the first kahaani was good.

inafog [#60]

Leave it bro you dont know one of the most famous one piece meme

if i don't know, then it's not famous

3 idiots is the only good Bollywood movie, most of them are either completely boring or painfully cringe

Heard of Wuxia?

Tumbadd is one of the best movies I have ever watched. But kantara ? I never understand the hype around it. Watched it because people started comparing it to tumbadd but it was so bad. Quite generic story

Nachtel [#59]

Watched it after I couldn't want for the anime. Liked the first season

chinese (including hk and taiwan) romance movies are the best lowkey

a sun is really good indeed. highly recommend to watch elephant sitting still, it may looks exhausting bcs its 4h long but ended up being one of my favorite movies

dino_zwei [#70]

Tumbadd is one of the best movies I have ever watched. But kantara ? I never understand the hype around it. Watched it because people started comparing it to tumbadd but it was so bad. Quite generic story

yeah I agree that Tumbbad>>Kantara.

theres so much tv from journey to the west

Zephyros [#49]

Hera pheri might be too much of a regional comedy

edit -->Tashkent files , Kashmir files these are new movies but they are great too

queueK [#77]

Wong Kar Wai the GOAT

RRR or KGF 1 or 2 SOLID MOVIES

h786 [#78]

humans are flawed, we eat, sleep, defecate, make mistakes.

lmfao why did you list eating ,sleeping, and pooping as flaws when those are just body processes

Watch RRR if u wanna watch Indian movie aur maybe try Brahmastra aur smth like Sardhar Udham etc just Google some gr8 movies

h786 [#80]

if its a religion doesn't that mean everyone can follow it? as a foreigner , i am just trying to understand 😃

It's a religion.But it's not like any religion you know.
And now it is no longer a religion, it has become Chinese culture and deeply affects our life.
I can't explain it to you.

Elephant sitting still is GOATED

Some of the commercial chinese films aren't just it chief. However their art house scene especially in recent years has significantly improved. Filmmakers like Jia zhangke and Bi Gan are making amazing movies. Taiwan and Hong Kong also have excellent banger filmmakers
