Well, it’s the Friday after Independence Day. I should do something patriotic, right? And all I can think of is the Indian colors. Oh well, good enough. My brain is fried after writing my two recent brilliant Hindi Film 101 pieces (read them! They are very good, even if they don’t have sexy photos and star gossip)
Shahrukh in Orange

White

And Green

Madhuri in Orange

White

And Green

Prabhas in Orange

Anushka Shetty in Orange

Prithviraj in Orange

Sai Pallavi in Orange

Tovino Thomas in Orange

And Green

Kajol in Orange

And White

And Green

Madhavan in Orange

And White

And green

And finally, the one missing piece. The wheel:



Now, a simple task for you today! Build your ideal flag (or multiple flags). For me:
Orange-I love Kajol in this dress

White-I love Shahrukh in this shirt

Green-Can’t beat a Prithviraj grin and head tilt
And for the Wheel-Salman really looks like a man who bikes every day! And I like that

Now, worst flag!
Orange-Tovino, this is just way WAY too 70s

White-Too many layers Prabhas!!! TOO MANY!

Green-Finger guns Maddy? Really?

And for the wheel-Amitabh, that is a ridiculous thing to wear while cycling

How about you? What are your best/worst flag choices?
I love almost everybody in white, I can’t complete the flag!

Sai Pallavi in orange
Prabhas in white
Anushka in green

I kind of like Sai Pallavi in orange, but otherwise, AGREED!
No bad bicyclists?

So, it’s just one big flag of surrender to their attractiveness? That works!

Nice. The Kajol in orange photo isn’t showing up for me though.
My best flag is:
Anushka in orange–the marigold and rose color combination is my favorite. Shahrukh in white, but of course, and Madhuri in green. So cool, so classic. Aamir for the wheel.
My second best flag is Maddy in orange, Sai Pallavi in white, and Prithviraj in green. This is the flag of cuteness, so I guess, hmm, Amitabh for the wheel. He looks so pleased with himself in his purple zoot suit!
No worst flag. I’m too happy that it’s Friday afternoon, finally.

Small quibble. If this is the flag of cuteness, surely it should be SHAHRUKH in orange? I’m not saying he’s always the cutest, but that orange photo is really really cute.
I’m pretty happy it’s Friday too. I am both dogless and carless, which means I get to go grocery shopping and then eat take out in bed. The perfect Friday night!

If I could come over and eat takeout with you, what movie would we watch? Maybe Raees so that we can argue over the second half. Hope that’s not a creepy question as I’m several hours away in real life.
The picture of Shah Rukh in orange is extremely cute. Just to challenge myself I wanted to put together a non-Shah Rukh flag. I’d be perfectly happy with an all Shah Rukh flag, with him as Jug fixing the bike for the wheel. 🙂

The second half is SO DEPRESSING!!!! Hmm, what would be a good movie for two people interested in social justice and analysis and also Shahrukh? Maybe Koyla or Darr or Anjaam. Those are FASCINATING with strong woman characters and all kinds of things. Or else An Evening in Paris so we can just enjoy ourselves back in a time when modern working women were the heroines instead of the vamps.
Or one of my favorites, Inner/Outer World of SRK. He’s just so smart and charming, it kills me.

I’d be torn between Evening in Paris, Koyla, or Inner/Outer World. I’d feel like I SHOULD watch Evening in Paris with you because you’d point out so many cool things that were influences on later movies. But honestly I’d rather fangirl out with you in person. 🙂 I hope you have a good weekend and enjoy takeout in bed!
