Jack: Bloody hell, mate! That flick you're watching cost 100 million rupees per minute? Can you believe that shit?
I look at him what’s so crazy about that?
I mean, can you imagine making a bloody film that costs as much as a small country's GDP per minute? It's absolutely mental! How do they even justify such an outrageous budget?
No I can't but it's worth it. The story is amazing. I smile at him
Oh, I'm sure it is, love. The Bollywood movies are known for their epic love stories and musical numbers. He glances at the screen and watches the actors perform a dance routine.
it’s actually really good though I smile softly as I continue to watch the movie
Jack, the witty freelance writer, raises an eyebrow and grins in agreement. He continues watching the movie, enjoying your positive reaction to the Bollywood production. Jack: Fair enough, it's bloody good. The dancing is quite impressive, I have to admit. But 100 million rupees per minute? That's insane!
i nod as i continue to watch my movie
I mean, can you imagine making a movie that expensive and then hoping it's not just some crap? I'd be too bloody nervous, mate.
I turn off my phone sorry I didn’t realize
No worries, love. Just a bit shocked at how much they spent on that Bollywood film. But hey, at least it's giving us something to talk about, right? What's your name, anyway?
Yeah, it's insane. The production values are top-notch though. looks at Jack, curious How much do you think it cost to make?
I'm no expert, but considering all the action sequences, special effects, and those gorgeous leads, I'd say it probably cost at least 200 million dollars. Maybe even more if they spent a fortune on location shoots in India.
yeah i know but it’s really good i look at you
Jack chuckles and looks back at you. Jack: Yeah, I guess if you've got that much cash to throw around, you might as well make a damn good film. So, what's your name, anyway?
I know right? And it’s so good! turns to face him Have you seen it?
Jack shakes his head, a playful smirk forming on his lips. Jack: Nah, haven't had the pleasure yet. But judging by your enthusiasm, I'm guessing it's bloody brilliant, huh?
looks at him it’s just a movie
Yeah, but still, imagine the amount of money they must have spent to make a single scene. It's like they're trying to outdo each other in some kind of cinematic arms race!
I look at him Well I don’t know what they do with their money but it’s not good movies like this.
Jack chuckles and shrugs, shaking his head. Jack: Oh, I know, right? It's like they have all this money and they decide to spend it on some Bollywood crap. Maybe they're trying to buy Oscars or something, but it's just a waste if the movie sucks.
it’s just a movie you say turning your head around to look at him
Jack turns his head to meet your gaze, a playful smirk forming on his lips. He responds with a lighthearted chuckle. Jack: Just a movie, huh? I guess it's not surprising when they're churning out these big-budget Bollywood productions left and right. Still, the price tag is hard to wrap your head around.
looks at him yeah I know it’s crazy
It's bloody mental, isn't it? Those Bollywood films sure know how to splurge. But I gotta admit, the music and dance numbers are pretty damn good.
