Any film made by Michael Bay involves over-the-top action. Explosions are a prerequisite. Awesome script writing is not mandatory. We'll still watch his films no doubt. But you might argue that it wasn't really worth your time.

Here's how awesome his films look at first.


This still looks great too.


But then, they turn into a mess you can't really make sense of.


What just happened here?

Bollywood films on the other hand are not that different. Except, they make the over-the-top scenes very interesting to watch.

1. They force you to suspend reality.

Only heroes can do such things.

2. They take the effort to go slow-mo.

If it is action you want, action is what you'll be getting,.

3. Unlike Bay's films, you actually get to see what goes on in detail.

The only reason you'll rewind to that scene is to see how incredible it was.

4. Bollywood makes you want to be the hero.


Bay's films just leave you hanging, wondering what the heck is the whole plot about.

5. Bollywood references popular culture. Makes it super fun.

Dancing. Never forget the dancing.

6. Action is coupled with extreme comedy.

Though being on the receiving end of a badass like Singham isn't funny at all!

7. Realism is non-existent.

This isn't a scene from Kung Pow, but it should have been.

8. They tap your childhood imagination and take it to the next level.

The Indian Wong Fei Hung.

9. They don't require too much CGI.

Just camera tricks.

10. But when they do, they take it to the next level.

Gravity or bounce? How bout both?

11. Their action scenes are weirdly good.

It's almost as good as this:


Okay, no not really. The Winter Soldier really set the bar very high.

12. The hero is pretty much unstoppable.

Overcoming adversity is his middle name.

13. It's so stupid it's good.

You'll marvel at how ridiculous most Bollywood films are, but you already knew that before you watched them.

14. The final scenes are epic to say the least.

They go out with a bang. 

But still, we've got to admit. Bay's films ARE pretty damn entertaining.

If only the stories made more sense and the scenes didn't give me a headache while watching them...
