“Notable” as in, you can actually recognize him in this. Something that I have never been able to do in Dil To Pagal Hai.

Sridevi Film Reviews Index
This was supposed to be Shahid’s day, and he will still get his index, but obviously Sridevi has to come first in a bit of an emergency situation.
Sridevi: Too Big To Ever Really Die
This is one I didn’t expect. I think it might be so much of a shock that I’m not really feeling it yet? I’m strangely numb right now. Sridevi, at age 54, seemingly in perfect health, her daughter not yet launched, has died. Died as she lived, with great fame, but also great privacy.
Shahid Day Almost Done! Rangoon, My Least Favorite Shahid Film
I really really hate this movie. Which is funny since I just mentioned the last Shahid-Bardwaj collaberation Kaminey as my favorite film. But this one, it doesn’t work at all, and I hate it.
Shahid Day Rolls on! R…Rajkumar, Stupid Film Stupid Title, But Fun!
This is a film I just can’t help enjoying while I watch it. Knowing it is regressive and illogical and all those things. But it’s FUN!
Shahid Day Again! His Newest Picture
I’m not going to repost the whole 3 part Padmavat summary review, that would be INSANE. Instead I am going to repost the much shorter no spoilers review.
Shahid Day Continues! Kaminey, Shahid’s Best Picture (I Think)
Hello Again! Another repeat as I continue my day of doing ten million things up to and including getting my annual emissions test for my car. So I am using the time to repost all my Shahid reviews, in honor of his birthday tomorrow.
Happy Shahid Day! Dil Maange More, on Netflix So You Can Celebrate With Me!
Shahid doesn’t really deserve a “day”, but my weekend is INSANELY busy this week, so I can’t write anything new, and his birthday is tomorrow, so it seemed appropriate to add him to my actor’s index list. Heck, maybe now that Padmavat has taken off, he will finally reach the top of the industry and have the career he always promised to have but never quite achieved.
Shahrukh Hardtalk Interview, I Finally Got Around To Watching It!
Well, that was frustrating! Is this what TV interviews are like? Blech!!!!! No wonder I never watch them. Not even getting into specifics of this interview, just this strange sort of “gotcha” style of question and then not letting the interviewee actually answer, drove me crazy!!!!! Why ask him a question if you aren’t going to let him talk and then respond?
TGIF: Dads and Daughters
My boss’ wife is sick today, so he had to bring his two year old into the office. She is the sweetest little thing and they are soooooooooooooooo cute together. And thus the inspiration for this post!
Shahrukh Speaks on Film Controversies, Agrees With Me, This is Why I Am His Fan
Oh look, Shahrukh is saying something important just as my blog views are beginning to drag again. He loves me! It’s totally not a one-sided thing.
Friday Classics: Dil Chahta Hai, How Have I Not Written About This Before?
I was putting together all the Aamir reviews yesterday, and suddenly realized, I never reviewed Dil Chahta Hai! How is this possible? It is SUCH an important movie!
Breathe Amazon Series Final 2 Episodes! (SPOILERS): We End With Hope and a Hero
And we are at an end! No more charming-but-murderous Maddy, no more troubled-but-reliable Amit, no more police jeeps driving through the streets of Bombay. Well, unless you want to watch one of the many many movies that involve police jeeps driving through the streets of Bombay. I recommend Talaash! (part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here) Continue reading
Aamir Khan Film Index
I feel kind of bad, being so late with this after even Hrithik got his own, but at least Aamir has a decent number of in depth reviews to go on his list. Including two separate reviews of Rang De!
Secret Superstar: Aamir’s Newest Film!
And we reach the end! Aamir’s most recent film, and also his one at the end of the alphabet. So one last review, and then he gets his nice fresh index.
TGIT: Thank You For The Retweets, Have a Maddy-Tovino-Unni Post
This is a very very very specific post. Our nice commentator/friend Angie got Maddy to read and retweet my Breathe reviews, so in return I shall give her a nice theme TGIT post. That theme being “here are all the men you like in a variety of outfits and poses”. And then on tomorrow I will do a “normal” TGIF post that more than one reader will enjoy.
Aamir Day Discussion Post: Best and Worst Film, Your Votes?
A couple of people responded to me on twitter arguing that Parampara was not, in fact, Aamir’s worst film and giving other options. And they were all valid! The man has been in A LOT of bad movies! And also, a lot of good movies. Anyway, what do you think? Best and worst?
Parampara: Possibly Aamir’s Worst Movie
This is really not a good movie. Not in a “so bad it’s funny” way, just not a good movie. Very dull, very confusing, not great. But by golly Aamir did his best with his little role!
Dil Dhadakne Do: Aamir Khan is a Dog
But you didn’t think this post would show up on Aamir Day! But it is, he has more dialogue than anyone else, so why not?
Dangal: A Very Careful Message for Men!
Another Aamir review! A recent movie that is (I think) still on Netflix. So you can read this and then watch it! Or the other way around, whatever you prefer.
Breathe Recap/Review (SPOILERS): Episodes 5 and 6, Opposing Forces Find their Places
Happy Thursday! Sometime around midnight tonight (I haven’t figured out the schedule exactly yet) the last episode of Breathe will come out. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a second series at some point, so the story may not necessarily be over, but at least the first part will be resolved. (part 1 of my coverage here and part 2 here)
Andaz Apna Apna: Is It Just Too Irreverent to Be Popular?
Happy Aamir Day! No reason besides my being swamped at work and needing to fall back on reruns. And also wanting to pull together an Aamir index to go with my Shahrukh and Hrithik and Salman indexes. So, today you get a bunch of Aamir reviews I wrote and posted already being reposted! Fun fun fun!
Talaash: A Very Strange Love Triangle and a Wonderful Picture of a Marriage
Welcome to the beginning of Aamir Day! No real reason, I just want to give him his own index just like Shahrukh and Hrithik and Salman, and now’s as good a time as any. I’ll be re-posting his reviews as I dig them out, and then ending by posting a nice Index for him. Also, a good time for me to finally get around to giving Talaash the post it deserves.
Box Office Youtube Video (no dog, but new scarf!)
Boring box office week, boring video. But I do get to wear my nice new scarf, so that’s something. Oh, and no dog, but if you need dog in your videos, check out this one.
