We’re waiting for two things these days: KANK, of course, which is one of the most awaited movies this year,b’cause as everywhere overseas (may i call germany overseas?) waits for new shahrukh khan movies. And as king khan is the only bollywood star whos well known in germany this movie will become special. in my opinion its the first release in the main bollywood hype in germany, paheli doesnt count.

The other thing is some german written Bollywood Magazine, published by germanies top bollywood dvd provider Rapid Eye Movies. They, who brought bollywood to germany, have now made this step into helping bollywood being present everywhere: Bollywood Rapid Eye magazine will be - of course - some bollywood promo for movies in cinema delivered by rapid eye movies also as promo for new dvds. Thats some way not so good, bollywood (and indian cinema) is much more than shahrukh and kajol and amitji - but you all outside germany know that well. On the other hand, its good to get more presence, more professionality in medias. The way bollywoods community is growing (not by number, but by quality) is amazing: we’ve some german bollywood news agency - greeting to sweet alccati - pages only about german dubbed dvds, we’ve lots of boards, and marcos is the best one - we’ve one good dvd seller (and many black sheeps on ebay) - and of course our blogging community is wonderfull. most of these things has happend last year. And also as german tv ratings are getting lower and lower, our basic community is stable as never before.

We’re established, i’d say.

Und das ist auch gut so (and its good that it is this way), as Klaus Wowereit said some time before.
