Bollywood in Europe: SRK, a rage in Germany - by Aseem Chhabra
Indian movie star Khan certainly has a big following in Germany and in Europe. In comparison, very few Americans know anything about Khan or for that matter, Bollywood films. I also met a couple of Khan's fans who had stood in the line for five hours to buy tickets for the premiere of Om Shanti Om. But the tickets were sold out in five minutes, they told me. They managed to catch the film at another large theatre, Kino Urania. "Girls came with handbags with Shah Rukh's picture," one fan said. "The audience laughed at the jokes and the songs." But apart from the Khan hysteria and his announcement that he was set to launch an action adventure project with this production house, India had a rather small presence at this year's Berlinale.
