Well, my hopes are dashed. I dreamed of Gauri appearing as “Mrs. Aryan Khanna”, and instead we got some boring extra woman. Although we did get to see inside a kids party at Not-Mannat, so that was fun! (full index of reviews here)

Continue readingOh boy! This is such a delightfully varied group of people, I am excited to put all their songs next to each other and see what happens.
Continue readingPart 3! What happened to Jaya as her husband’s star waxed and waned, her children grew up, life moved on and she seemed to be left behind?
Continue readingWell, this was a dull episode! It got to where it needed to be in the end, but it was kind of limp on the way there. Oh well, we had 3 really good ones in a row, it was time for a sort of soapy dramatic and then nothing happens plot. At least my review should be short! (full index of Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingAnother really good episode with a lot of smart observations! Man, just adding those extra 7 minutes added a lot more depth too. (full index of Little Things reviews here)
Continue readingWoo-hoo! Big dumb fun movie! I am very happy about this. And hopefully you all will be very happy too.
Continue readingPart 2! Jaya post-marriage, the sticky years between 1973 and 1983. The affair rumors, Silsila, and finally almost losing her husband.
Continue readingI honestly thought I had already written this, and I am very excited to discover I have not. Jaya is a fascinating woman, and a bit of a mystery in many ways. Oh also, I will use literally ANY excuse to post adorable young Amitabh-Jaya photos. I think they are tied with Dips-Ranveer for “all time cutest dating couple”.
Continue readingI think we can do this! At least “A” and “Z” will be easy, and surely we can figure out the rest.
Continue readingI’ve done this before, but I have a really good feeling this time! Everyone’s home, binging on Poirot and Hastings and Jessica Fletcher. Time to CAST this thing!
Read moreSeason 2! “Long” episodes! This one was about half an hour, but the others seem to be mostly 22 minutes. Still awfully long compared to the 15 minutes last season. (full index of Little Things reviews here)
Continue readingI did it! I watched Style! Angie’s favorite Big Dumb Fun Hunks movie! And it is, as promised, a Big Dumb Fun Hunks movie. Also, there’s cars.
Continue readingILLNESS ALERT! But this episode is barely related to the current real life situation, so just block that from your mind with force of will and you can enjoy it. And it’s another Really Good episode! I have to say, from episode 3 on, this show has been super impressing me. Also, Dino is cute again, some more. (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingWhat a gift you have given to us all! An excuse for me to do totally indulgent posts and not feel bad about it! Let us all look at men playing guitars.
Continue readingI narrowed it down considerably, didn’t I? Hopefully that makes it easier. Which of these two do you want to watch?
Continue readingHappy Angie’s birthday day! I always do a thing for her, but this year I am enjoying making a particular fuss, because it’s nice to celebrate stuff, isn’t it?
Continue readingHappy Birthday Angie! I hope you like your presents! I tried to think of something different from what I have given you before.
Continue readingI am so glad I remembered this film! It is so silly and light, but also very very pleasant. And the whole driver of the plot is that our heroine really really wants to finish med school and our hero does everything to support that!
Continue readingAA is such a kick! But I am not very good with Telugu industry stuff, so I am going to just put up my favorite’s of the songs I have seen, and you all will need to help me fill in some more. Movie recommendations also welcome!
Continue readingSuch a brilliant final episode! Pulls into focus everything from the last 4 episodes, and makes you go “ooooooo! I see what you did there!” And also, retroactively, turns Mithila into the lead character. Which is especially interesting since Dhruv Sehgal wrote the show, and plays the other character. But turns out, his character isn’t that great and Mithila is the important one! Oh, and also we get a flashback to how they met. (index of all Little Things reviews here)
Continue readingAnother one of those loosely thematic song posts that you get to add on to in the comments! Such fun!
Continue readingOoooo, this episode was JUICY!!!! Both on and off screen. The characters had all kinds of back and forth and movement, but boy is it hard to watch and not think of Karisma working through her own issues of mothering and how she was mothered! (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingI’m torn here! Because I think OSO might be the best option, it has that light rom-com flavor that made Khoobsurat and Aiyyaa such hits with us. But it is only available on googleplay (or Hotstar) and I hate to make people pay for stuff. So then we have the other three options.
Continue readingAlbie Dog! The bravest bestest warrior against boredom in our whole household! Keeps us on our toes, keeps us going outside, just generally The Best. And also, So Dumb.
