I took a little box office vacation the past several weeks, but obviously I had to come back to see how SRK’s new movie did!!!! (data from bollywoodhungama here) This is a pretty light post, because I am planning and writing a more in depth discussion of SRK and Red Chillies to go up separately.

Made in Heaven Review, Episode 5: the NRI and Sex
This was kind of a sad episode! I want more happy ones, like the Sikhs in the second episode. Or even the Deepti episode, that was happy in the end. But the last two, just SAD! (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingMade in Heaven Mini-Review, Episode 4: Dowry and the Value of a Woman
Blech, that voice over has GOT to go!!!!! There’s a great moment in this episode, very powerful, which is immediately undercut by the stupid stupid voice over. This might have been my favorite episode of the series so far, except the voice over just destroys it. (oh, and index of all my Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingMade in Heaven Episode Reviews Index
This is a TV show and I’m reviewing it episode by episode, and I wanted one central place for you to see the whole list. Here it is!
Continue readingMade in Heaven Mini-Review, Episode 3: Ageism and Affairs
I am just speeding through this show! I think this is the weakest episode in terms of the wedding plot, but the strongest so far in terms of the personal plots. I guess that is the balance. (full index of Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingMade in Heaven Series Review, Episode 2: The Sikhs and the Stars
I put up a review of episode 1 already, I’m going this show episode by episode because it breaks down tidily into separate stories unlike Humsafar or Sacred Games. This also makes it way WAY easier for me to review, since I can do short little reviews episode by episode instead of trying to binge the whole thing and then review the whole thing. (full index of Made in Heaven reviews is here)

Happy Monday! I survived the time change! Barely. I didn’t know it was happening, but luckily I am one of those young people who use their phone as a watch, and my phone updated itself. Without me knowing about it
Continue readingMade In Heaven Prime Series Mini-Review, Episode 1: Delhi Industrialists
What a fun show! And part of the fun is that each episode is it’s own distinct storyline, which means I can do fun little mini-reviews of each episode instead of trying to kill myself watching the whole season and doing one review real quick. (full index of Made in Heaven reviews is here)
Continue readingLent Post! Another Sin to Avoid, Greed! In Indian Song format
First, very important, you should all go over and look at this post. I put a lot of work into it, and it is super good and super fun, especially the “lust” section. Okay, moving on, let’s look at some Indian songs to represent the sin of Greed!
Continue readingSaturday ReRun: Silsila! In Honor of Lent, a Reminder to Avoid Lust, and Cheating on Jaya
Happy Sunday! And let me remind you of one of the all time greatest Hindi films, and definitely the best exploration of how “true love” is bad and selfish.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: In Honor of Luke Perry, Buffy the Movie Remade in India
I almost considered doing a post for Luke Perry. But then, he was never really “mine”. I am about ten years to young for his peak years, but I still really really love him from one role, Buffy The Vampire Slayer (the movie). So I won’t do a full tribute post for him, but I will do a quick silly rewrite of my favorite Luke Perry movie for him.
Continue readingDiscussion Post, “Unplugged” Episodes With SRK and Amitabh for Badla
I thought I didn’t have a lot to say about these, but now all three are out, and I know a lot of you have watched them, I thought I might as well put up a space for us to talk about them. And then I turned out to have A LOT to say after all!
Continue readingBadla Review (SPOILERS): All About the Mahabharata (do not read this review if you can possibly see the movie, really you will regret it, save yourself)
Yaaaay, a good movie! I love when I can review a good movie instead of complaining about a bad one. This isn’t, like “brilliant perfect best ever” movie. But it is very well-made and generally solid. If you like kind of mystery thriller movies. Oh, and AVOID SPOILERS. Don’t read this review if you have any chance of watching this movie, read this review instead.
Continue readingSatuday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Review Badla!
Good morning! Today is the day Mr. Dog Albie does NOT have an accident inside the house. I have decided! Poor thing is on antibiotics that makes water go right through him, but with my system of taking him out as soon as I wake up and then every 4 hours until we go to sleep, I think we can make it through.
Continue readingBadla Review (No Spoilers): A Perfectly Cast And Perfectly Shot Twisted Thriller
Well, yaaaay! A very very well-made movie! It even got applause at the theater I was at when it ended. I love movies like that, where you can just sit back and admire the craftsmanship.
Continue readingFriday Classics: Dhoom 3! Is It Too Big or Just Big Enough?
Finaly Dhoom review! Which brings me to the most important question of our time: John or Hrithik or Aamir???? Who is the best and/or hottest villain of the Dhoom series?
Continue readingTGIF: Pictures that Are Temptation for the 7 Deadly Sins
Ready to be tempted? In 7 different ways? I’m excited!
Continue readingWomen’s Day FanVid Post! Strong Women
I don’t think I’ve put this one up before for Women’s Day! But it is SUCH a good collection of videos, and very thematic for the holiday.
Continue readingAnnual Women’s Day Post! Women Being Worshipped!!!!
My first thought for International Women’s Day was a “look at these pretty women!” post, but I already did that. So, I’m going to go a little deeper. International Women’s Day is supposed to be about men respecting women. Doesn’t always work, of course, but that’s the idea. And so I want to put up some pictures of men being happily dominated by women
Continue reading7 Deadly Sins in Indian Film Song Form: Gluttony!
Well, this is a fun one! There are a lot of good eating songs. Although this is also going to make me really really hungry. And of course, if I forget something, mention it in the comments!
Continue readingDhoom 2 Review! Dhoom Gets BIGGER
Oh dear. I know this is a favorite Dhoom for many of you, but it is my least favorite. Meaning I have watched it less, and remember it worse, than the other two. So forgive me if I don’t remember to include your favorite part or get something else wrong!
Continue readingNext Sunday 3/17 ReRun Announcement! A MALAYALAM Film!!!! Annmariya Kalippilannu
I’ve given up more or less on a regular schedule for non-Hindi reviews. Partly because I am seeing more of them in theaters, which means it makes sense to review them on Saturday or Sunday instead of some other day. Anyway, since I am giving up, I get to post a random Malayalam review on a Sunday! Annmariya Kalippilannu, not this Sunday, but next Sunday, the 17th.
Continue readingIn Honor of Lent, 7 Deadly Sins in Indian Film Song Form! Starting with….LUST!
I was gonna do one post, but then I started putting up multiple videos and images for each sin and it just got way WAY too long. So instead I am going to do 7 posts. Which, bonus, also means I get 7 song post ideas to fill out the schedule.
Continue readingDhoom Review! Let Us Ask Ourselves the Immortal Question, John or Abhishek or Uday?
Do you like the dangerous dead sexy bad boy, the safe husband type, or the clown? Whichever it is, this movie has a man for you! And then of course we have the added complication as the series progressed, WHICH dead sexy dangerous bad boy do you prefer, John or Hrithik?
Continue readingUpcoming Reviews Announcement! Tamil AND Telugu Next Week!!!!!! Sarvam Thaala Mayam and Awe!!!!
Oh boy, this is exciting! Two movies just hit Netflix that you should ALL WATCH, so I am giving you advance warning so you have time. Sarvam Thaala Mayam review will be reposted on Wednesday 3/13, and a new review of Awe will go up on Thursday of next week, 3/14. Fun fun! I can’t wait!
