Last year I watched an Indian movie called 3 Idiots and I love it. Yesterday I watched another Indian movie which seems to be popular and it is called Robot. This is a nice science fiction movie although some parts are similar to other science fiction movies. It is funny and sometimes it is also moving. Now I found that Indian movies are very long. It takes me at least 2:45 hours finishing it

Yes, most indian movies are around 3 hours long.3 idiots was in Hindi. Robot (Endhiran) was multi lingual (Tamil and I think it was dubbed into Hindi). The actor you watched in Robot is a very famous and popular actor down south (in South India). He is a demi-God in the state of Tamil Nadu where he is based.
Robot was a very expensive project.

I am not much into comedies so I doubt if I would watch 3 idiots but Robot looks interesting, I am not big on science fiction but this does look good, I just hope it get released on DVD so I can see it.
Is this the same movie you are talking about ? Enthiran ?

There are selected indian movies which stand out of typical movies which are being made!3 idiots is one such movie for sure which passes one good message to the audience.As of Robot,i dont think it is exceptional ... good one though.
We have songs in between which kinda make movies lengthy.Great day.

@flagaz: I like the word "fuhad", it's the perfect word for recently released comedy movies.
youless is from China, how would you make him understand the meaning of the word "Fuhad" ???

Hi Youless! I am very happy you like Indian movies.They are indeed long and songs occupy a considerable part of the duration.However, this particualr 'RObot' has our famous Rajni kant and Aishwarya Rai in the lead and the film was pretty entertaining. Rajini kant speaks my mother tomgue Tamil in this film and though he himself is a Marati gentleman, he has sprung to extraordinary fame in our Tamil.He is supposed to have risen form the ranks and is renowned for his simplicity.

Wow that is a LONG movie compared to movies in the United States. Below is a chart of the average length of movies from 1910 to 2000s. As you can see for the past 50 years the average movie has hovered right around 2:00. I believe that those that be are dictating how long a movie should be because if you watch a movie in Blu-Ray (and some DVDs) you will also get a director's cut which is much longer (and the way the director actually wanted the movie to be.
10s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 79 minutes
20s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 98 minutes
30s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 96 minutes
40s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 109 minutes
50s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 114 minutes
60s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 127 minutes
70s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 125 minutes
80s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 129 minutes
90s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 127 minutes
00s ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 129 minutes

hey that gajini was copy paste movie.It was made from some hollywood film.So you might have seen its english version actually.
Watch Dhoom part one.There is second part which i did not like much.Dhoom is action movie.
Fashion by Madhur bhadarkar is great movie.It revolves around fashion industry in India.

Nowadays, things are changing in Bollywood, 10 years back it was like, there will be 5-10 songs in a movie and at the end of the movies you will not be able to decide whether it was a movie or a song album.
Recently, they have started a new funda in Bollywood, now they are copying the story from South Indian movies and Hollywood movies.
I see that a few people have suggested you Ghajini movie, it is actually an awesome movie but watch the tamil (a south Indian language) version....it's available on youtube with subtitles:

"Bhool Bhulaiyaa" is one of the best Bollywood movie (It was copied from south Indian movie), watch this movie, I bet, you would like it..
You can watch this movie on youtube:
