So I have a wee bit of a headache and also I am lazy, not counting to 23! Just counting to 4, but 4 things when I was 23, so it still makes sense!
I saw Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Billu in theaters I think, Kismat Konnection I didn’t get in theaters but I watched promptly as soon as it was released on DVD. Luck By Chance I was very late to the party and didn’t watch until y’all forced me to through blog comments.
Kismat Konnection
Rab Ne Bana di Jodi
Luck By Chance
Billu
Overall, a pretty good 12 month period! Artistically stretching himself, a pleasant narration job, and a very cool cameo.
And a pretty good year for songs too, which is why each film is represented by it’s most happy light 2008 type song.

I watched Don, but not KANK! In theaters I mean, I watched it on DVD pretty quick once it was out.

I turned 23 in 2009…which is the year Billu and Luck by Chance came out I believe. Sandwiched between two years with SRK films I grew fond of a couple years later (RNBDJ in 2008 and MNIK 2010). I THINK I watched Billu in theatres because I liked Kadha Parayumbol and SRK. LBC I watched fully this year, but I did see different scenes over the years.

This is just confirming what I suspected, most of us are about the same age 🙂 There’s a flavor of fandom to women who came of age in the early oughts.

Hey, so now I know why Kaal was on German TV. It just happened to be the newest thing with SRK (item song) when they were starting their Bollywood experiment in 2005.
I haven’t seen Silsiilay or Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye.
But I have the fondest memories of watching Paheli for the first time. It was during the summer class that fully got me hooked on Indian film, September in France, still warm enough to swim in the Atlantic. Intense discussions in the mornings, afternoons free for all kinds of fun activities. The knowledge that half the people on the beach will be reading Pratchett. Still I decide to come back to the stuffy classroom in the afternoon to watch an extra film. And it’s so gorgeous! I still need to get to Rajasthan at some point. And Rani has never looked better.

That is a lovely First Film memory. And Paheli is a great First Film. IT has flaws, but it is so beautiful.

Well, we were already watching and discussing Hindi films in the mornings. But it’s still among my favorite filmi memories.
