Actually when I was in Ukraine, they were much into Bollywood. Under the Soviets, seems Indian movies were few of the foreign movies allowed. 

Also Russians are in to Bollywood Movies,years ago in a conversation an older Russian said he liked Raj Kapoor movies.

I'll watch this YT clip later. Raj Kapoor was a frequent VIP in the former Soviet Union. He shot his movie Mera Naam Joker there. Dharmendra acted as a circus gymnast alongside a Russian girl.

Probably one of the reasons,he was liked by the Russians and have may fans.

The Russian Singer rendering Mukesh songs says it.

I think nuff y'all would get a heart attack if u found out that Carib is pure indian and not a blackman at all.

From what he said on GNI,he is an Afro.

I agree. He must have married a coolie woman who dumped him. The reason for his hate of coolies. We have another GNIer who got dumped by a coolie woman.

What they explained was during the Soviet era, there was limited view of the outside world. Indian movies offered that window.  Back then the movies were all family oriented so entire families would watch together.  They were entertaining and colorful. There was no nudity or foul language.  The governments wanted that.

Almost 5 years ago to the date, I saw Amit and his younger brother Sumeet Kumar Ganguly deliver a hair raising performance of their father's hit songs at Resorts World Casino.  The chips didn't fall far from the block.  One of the best concerts I ever attended.

Free concerts are always the best eh.

It wasn't a free concert.  But quite inexpensive for the level of talent from the Ganguly brothers.  Sumeet's mother is the beautiful Leena Chandarvarkar.  He looks like her.
