Sushmita and Mosquitos, Siddharth Roy Kapur and the Presidency, Karan and Protestors, and BAHUBALI!!!!
I thought there was news today, but then I dug into it, and yeah, there’s no news. It’s just rumors and suppositions with famous names thrown in to make me click the link. Oh well.
Happy Birthday Yash Chopra Part 2! 32 through 55!
Okay, let’s do this! Possibly nobody but me cares as much about Yashji, but come on! The man invented a whole genre of film! Founded the only studio still on firm financial ground! Created generations of stars! He deserves 84 reasons to love him on his birthday. Even if they are mostly songs. Part 1…
Happy Birthday Yashji!!! (And Ravi) Part 1! 1-32 Reasons!

Kirti Kulhari and Sajid Nadiawala Agree With Me!

Pink Review (NO SPOILERS): I Finally Saw It! It Lived Up To Expectations!

India’s Oscar Entry: Once Again, a Film I Have Never Heard Of
It’s not nearly as egregious as choosing Jeans (seriously, what were they thinking?) or choosing nothing the year Pinjar and Tehzeeb and Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon came out, but it’s still got that little tinge of “wait, what?” which always comes with these announcements.
FanVid Post! Just ‘Cause!
One of the people I follow on youtube just posted a new video that I really liked, so then I dug up a few more videos I like, and voila! A post! I’m gonna get to a thousand within my first year of blogging if it kills me!
Loins of Punjab: Seriously, SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE TITLE!!!!
I just watched this movie for the 4th time, and it is still So. Good! And such a hard sell! I’ve seen it 4 times partly because people will only watch it if I sit next to them and force them to. Because the title alone really isn’t enough to sell it.
News About Upcoming Movies: Padmavati, Kaali Gaandi, Dabba Gul, Dangal
Not big news, really. Okay, a couple of these things might be big news. But mostly it is just confirmation that things are moving along in the direction we already thought they were headed.
Badshah and Aunties, Shahrukh and Wet Shirts, and Other Things That Make Me Happy

Positive: Not the Greatest Movie
As I have mentioned already, I just re-activated my Netflix discs and immediately requested every Malayalam film they have available. Which means I am going to end up with some stinkers. This one wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t very good, or interesting. But not quite bad enough that I could justify stopping in the…

International Day of Peace Post: One Day Late
Totally missed this holiday! And it’s almost as much fun to find songs for as International day of Dance! I think I’m going to just lean hard into the Shanti theme to start with, maybe I’ll try to do something more meaningful next year. Also, maybe next year I will remember on the actual day.

The Shivaay love song just came out. And, thank goodness, I think it explains what’s going on with one of the three very very young heroines. And possibly one of the other ones as well.
