I don't like musicals

I don't like musicals.
I did like Moulin Rouge.
And Chicago.
I suppose The Happiness of the Katakuris and Beyond The Sea are technically musicals and I liked them too.
But still I say that I don't like musicals.
So why do I love Bollywood films?
It all started with Lagaan. Three and three-quarter hours later I was hooked. And it's about cricket!
Since then I have seen quite a few more, some old, like Mother India (I was the only person in the cinema for that one) some new like Water. (yeah, I know it's not a 'Bollywood' film, in fact it's Canadian....)
I have also got quite a few on DVD including some I didn't get a chance to watch before we moved here. The new DVD player (a total bargain for $38) plays all of my discs and I settled down to watch one of Shahrukh Khan's earlier films, Darr.
I have had a few problems with Bollywood films on DVD in the past, even when there is a big sticker on the front delaring 'English subtitles' sometimes the subtitles are missing.
All was well with Darr, until well past the 2 hour mark. Then, the person doing the subtitles must have gone home early, thinking 'well, that will do, I'm sure they can figure out how the bad-guy-stalker gets found out without the dialogue'.
I mostly sort of did but still....
