Indian and Pakistani movies were very well known throughout my family. Somalis used to see them in movie theaters on the free day, Friday, in the good old days. Actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini and many more were enjoyed by many audiences in Somalia. I was born in Pakistan, so I was exposed to my parents' favorite films.
But...
If you really want to get into Bollywood, you have to watch movies from the 90's first. I think the best Bollywood movies are from the 90's and 00's. There you will be introduced to the three biggest moneymakers in the industry. The Kings of Bollywood. The Three Khans: Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan.
Here, I wanted to give three short biographies of their legacies and their most beloved works to me. Let's fall into the Bollywood black hole together.
