Paap-Culture

Trolling everything that is troll-worthy in Indian Pop Culture.

Bollywood Culture 

Indian Cinema is blindingly colorful, dramatic and downright odd. People dying in half-hour sequences, singing songs, random synchronized dancing, Mary-poppins styled action movies, stereotyped gender roles and much more can be seen in our movies.

Here, you can find reviews, troll-worthy observations and comments on the glorious Indian film industry products. 

Daily Soaps

It all began with the word "K". Then the world stopped making sense. Daily soaps today are perfect case studies of human melodrama. These heavy emotion invoking attempts by channels like Colors, Sab TV, Star and many more, deserve a lot of attention. Here, you will find exactly that, us paying attention to the tiniest details of Indian Daily Soap culture.

What are Tropes?

TROPE on the interwebs refers to an often overused plot device. It can also be described as another variation on the same theme. TV shows, movies, comics, games, anime and books are full of tropes. We track these tropes with a self-explanatory title for each one.
Q: Did you see "Krrish 3"?
A: That film just used the "Supporting Role Character Dies For A Greater Purpose" trope to make it dramatic. You know, where a secondary character has to always die in the story to either give life to someone else. I saw that happening in"Go Goa Gone". Also "Yuva", "Rang de Basanti", "Border" and "Sholay".

Book Culture

Contrary to popular belief, Indians do read books. What we read is an altogether different issue. Chetan Bhagat came riding on his mass produced Rs.100 novels and swept Indian angst off its feet. After that, Indian authors went on a crap-book producing overdrive.

Song Culture

‘The Jhoola Is Jhooling, But She No More Living, 

Hey Butcher Stop Your Fun, Please Let Her See The Sun’' - Baba Sehgal, on Female Infanticide

Indian songs make sense, poetically and philosophically speaking. If you let your brain chew on these epic lines, you will find deep hidden meaning which can only be conveyed in bass enhanced rhythmic beats with bikini clad women gyrating on beaches.
