Oh boy, such a busy week! I only have to write one new review, but it’s for a super fun and crazy film that I will SO enjoy reviewing.
Wednesday 11/6: Kali (Malayalam, Hotstar or Einthusan)
You have to watch past the interval. It starts out seeming like an interesting story of a young couple, and then it takes a turn you aren’t expecting. Plus, it’s a fascinating exploration of anger, when it is a blessing and when it is a curse. Oh, and Sai Pallavi and Dulquer are ADORABLE together in it.
Thursday 11/7: Ninne Pelladatha (Telugu, Hotstar or Einthusan)
Such a cute film! And perfect for Tabu’s birthday week. Family friendly, sweet, innocent, there’s even a dog. And a shy and uncertain sexy “alone in the house” song.
Friday 11/8: Jeet (Hindi, Youtube for free)
Another Tabu pick. And a really strange yet awesome film. Love quadrangul with Tabu, Karisma, Salman, and Sunny. Super crazy unexpected plot, all the best of 90s Masala all the way around.
Sunday 11/10: Eega/Makkhi/Eecha (Hindi/Telugu/Tamil, Prime)
This was Rajamouli’s first crossover hit before Bahubali and it’s brilliant. You say “reincarnation revenge movie with a fly” and it doesn’t sound good, but believe me, it is SO good! Fun and fresh and clever and just a pleasure to watch.
I love Eega and have inflicted it successfully on half a dozen random friends!!!

Lol, everyone’s excited about Eega while I’m excited about Ninne Pelladatha! I love Eega too but it’s become one of those movies that I’ve seen way too many times in a short period of time 🙂

Yes, more people should be excited about Ninne Pelladatha! I think it hits the exact sweet spot of the kind of film most DCIBers enjoy. Far more so than Eega.
