I have seen this movie!

BAUNTY AUR BABLY IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES FROM 2005 in the world, and unfortunately it is impossible to see it in the cinemas of Spain or the rest of Europe.. why we have to eat all the USA trash and never We can go to the cinema to see a bollywood film? Here in Barcelon, in the Indian supermarkets we are so lucky that we can buy this movie for 6 euros!!! We can't understand why such masterpieces are impossible to see in cinema! I recommend absolutely this movie. Musical numbers are not so well staged as in Kal Hoo Na Ho or Main hoon Na, but the documentary style of the movie with superb natural photography, the surprising plot and the great actors that make authentic an impossible bollywood argument make this movie a real surprise. Late movies of bollywood really make us so happy as it is like watching a new Hello Dolly! every month.
