This is a repost, not an original, but I think I skipped it last year so maybe it will read fresh to you! Anyway, I love Preity, let’s celebrate her!

Friday Classics: Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, a Story of Characters Forcing Their Lives to Fit a Filmi Fantasy
No one noticed this is a week late, right? Nah, you are forgiving people who don’t obsess over whether Margaret is keeping her schedule.
Continue readingThursday Tamil: Bigil! The Big Big Tamil Film of 2019!
Fun movie! Vijay movie, good songs, good action, crazy plot, watch it for a good time. Don’t watch it for depth.
Continue readingValentine’s Festival of Romance Scheduling Rough Draft!!! Did Your Favorite Make it On the List? If Not, It Is Your Own Fault For Not Lobbying Enough
This is it! Last chance! Based on reader interest in these films, and suggestions put forth, and generally what I think I/you will like, this is my list of Romances for Valentine’s Week Festival. If you read this list and go “oh ick, I hate ——” or “oh man, she didn’t include my favorite movie —-!”, now is the time to speak up. (also, don’t panic, I decided to do a whole Ramesh Sippy Week in honor of Shimla Mirch)
Continue readingWhy Can’t I Remember More Post-Marriage Romances? Can You?
This came up in the comments, and my mind is a blank! So weird! I’m hoping you can help me before I go insane trying to remember things I just can’t remember.
Continue readingWednesday Malayalam Rerun: Kumbalangi Nights, Arguably the Best Malayalam Film of 2019
I’m reposting AGAIN! Hopefully some new people saw the film since the last time I posted, or old people had Brilliant Ideas to add on and share.
Continue readingSongs Round-Up Post! New Songs for Love Aaj Kal 2, Jawani Jaaneman, and Malang!
Well, I have fallen hideously behind and now I need to do all of these at once. Luckily, they are all good!
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Thinking and Watching and Listening to This Week?
Happy Wednesday! I spent half the day yesterday sure that it was Thursday and today was Friday. I am still adjusting to the reality that today is Wednesday and I still have to work two more days.
Continue readingTwo Crowdsource Requests: Movies for BollywoodNewbie to Watch on Her Plane Trip, and Romances for Valentine’s Week
These are equally important questions and I don’t want you to be lazy and just do one or the other! So if you comment, you have to give at least one idea for BOTH! So it can be like 10 movies for BollywoodNewbie, and only 1 for Valentine’s, or vice versa, but at least try to cover both.
Continue readingPrepare for Valentine’s Day! Here is a List of Movies for an Anti-Romance Marathon!!!!
The World says Valentine’s Day should be about hearts and love and candy. I reject The World! I’m a rebel! I say, celebrate anti-love and eat salty snacks alone in front of the TV! Join me, and use this list as viewing suggestions. The movies that make you think “I’m so glad I am single”. And yes, they are all about men sucking and girls being awesome. Whatever, boys can watch every other movie if they want to feel happy within themselves, it’s harder for women.
Continue readingAll of Akshay’s Bad Woman Movies! I Fixed Them!
On my post about “thinks we would wish for from a genie”, Akshay’s retirement is the winner right now. But I don’t just want him to retire, I want him to redo his recent woman movies RIGHT. And now I shall tell him what he should do.
Continue readingWhich of These is Most Infuriating? Farhan or Bieber or Rockstar?
I’ve got quilting tonight and I am behind on my squares, so I am working desperately on that instead of writing “real” posts. But truly, in a global cross-cultural way, which of these is worse?
Continue readingDiscussion Post: If a Genie Gave You Only One of These Wishes, Which Would You Pick? (Or, Would You Rather Karan Gets Married, or Alia Doesn’t?)
No, you can’t wish for infinite wishes! Genie’s are sick of the little smart aleck kids who say that. You can only have ONE wish, and it is strictly Indian film related, and here are your choices. Be warned, they are HARD!!!!
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Last Week of January?
Happy Monday! I had a super productive weekend moving all my furniture around and doing a ton of laundry and buying groceries and I kind of didn’t want to come into work because I was so caught up in all my home stuff.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Chhichore! A Nice College Comedy With A Surprising Ending
Well, that was a better movie than I expected! Not super duper great, but enjoyable and pleasant and well made with a very nice message. About a billion times better than Mission Mangal, for instance. And thus, deserving of a Sunday rerun post for those of you who missed it. Especially when Street Dancer 3D has us feeling all warm about Shraddha Kapoor.
Continue reading2019 Awards Results Post! Best Heroine, Worst Title, Other Important Questions; Plus the OVERALL WINNER!!!!!
The people have spoken! Or, in many cases, The Person Has Spoken. With only a few comments on some of these, it was left to one person to have all the power.
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: BollywoodNewbie and HolyMuffinSallie’s FanFic for Hrithik and Anil and Sanya!
I can only take credit for kind of pulling all of this together, not for the ideas, that is all BollywoodNewbie/Alisa and HolyMuffinSallie. But it is so good, I feel the need to edit it together and expand and put it up on the blog.
Continue reading2010s Awards Post Part 2!
Oh boy! More award final choices! I’m including the links to all the original posts so you can check my tallies.
Continue reading2010s Award Winners Part 1!!!
I’ve given you loads of time, but now I think we are ready to have our final answers! I am going to go through every single post and come up with the winners! And then list them out across multiple posts so it’s not overwhelming. Speaking of overwhelming, the dog just farted, blech!
Continue readingKavita Krishnamurthy Day! What Is Your Favorite KK Song?
Kavita was really REALLY big for about ten years. And then not. So you may not be aware of her now, but I bet you still know a lot of her songs.
Continue readingStreet Dancer 3 Review (SPOILERS): If I Say the Words “Shirtless Dance of Torment”, Are You In or Out?
Plot? Whoooooooo cares???? It’s all about the lights and the glamour and the big flippy things and so on. So read this review, you will still want to see the film anyway. Or not want to see the film if you are a hopelessly practical person who has no love for dance battles and learning lessons and that moment when the power goes out and there is no music but then magically they create their OWN music!!!! Also, the plot is hilarious so read my summary for the giggles.
Continue readingStreet Dancer 3D Review (No Spoilers): A Varun-Shraddha Love Story Wrapped Around a Dance Battle Wrapped Around a Prabhudeva Tribute
If you think this is the kind of movie for you, it is. If you don’t think this is the kind of movie for you, it isn’t. There are no surprises here, it is exactly as promised.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Bask in the Glow of Street Dancer 3D
Happiness is exhausting! I had such a great time at the movie last night, and then I came home and was so tired I just went to sleep. I’m writing the review now, you can all talk to entertain yourself while I do that.
Continue readingTGIF: Hot Nerds
I’m not hip to the lingo, so I may accidentally throw in some “hot geeks” and “hot dorks”. But you get the general idea, right?
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Actor and Actress Should Win “Most Improved”? Who Should NOT???
I just want to talk about how I secretly like Sid M. again. But I also think this is an important award! Effort should be rewarded. Most important part about this post is that actual end quality does not matter, it’s about the distance between the start and the end. Like, Ranbir is still a better actor/dancer/everything than Sid M, but has he improved at all from where he started?
