A lot of these movies, I’ve seen maybe twice, most recently 2 years ago. This one, I’ve only seen once, 15 years ago. That is how bad it is. And also, how bad this review will be since I can barely remember it.
Continue readingWell, this is a very impractical choice. It will only work if you all swear to watch on Einthusan and nowhere else. But you say you will, so fine! We’ll try it!
Continue readingI suppose this is related in that religion is a factor of every human society, and this blog is about cultural artifacts (Indian films). But mostly this is a question I have been wondering about and I am curious to hear what you, my intelligent and varied and original commentators, think about it.
Continue readingThis is a perfectly pleasant lessor Subhash Ghai movie which also happens to have Shahrukh in an early role. But really it’s more of a Ghai film than an SRK film, only watch if you like Ghai.
Continue readingThere’s the logical choice, the fun choice, or the choice of my heart. Such a CHALLENGE!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Today’s the day I move from my parent’s place to my place every week, so I have a kind of holiday feel, even though it’s really still middle of the work week.
Continue readingThis is a reposted review from Juhi Week, so it’s mostly about how great they are as a pair. An excellent reason to review the film!
Continue readingIt’s Yashji’s birthday on Sunday! Obviously, we have to do something for him, and what better celebration than watching one of his films on Friday?
Continue readingThis is universal, right? It wasn’t just me who woke up between 3 and 13 after a weird bad dream and then bugged my parents?
Continue readingLet’s check in on the world of light celebrity content and see what we can find! Nothing will ever be as good as Harshwardhan’s essay about “sneaker culture”, but I can always hope.
Continue readingI’m not particularly fond of this movie, it’s just a bit too obvious for me. But I can understand how it has a weird appeal for some of you.
Continue readingLook at that, they had a lot of item songs! Maybe more than Shahrukh has with any other actress. I wonder why?
Continue readingSurprisingly difficult question, they had a lot of good movies together. Not always together-together, but they were both in a movie.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a rough start to the day, mostly revolving around impossible parking near my parents (stupid street sweeping). But I have hope that things will get better now.
Continue readingLet’s just call it a Rosh Hashanah costume. Or a costume in honor of my friend’s wedding yesterday. Or just a costume because dogs are put on this earth to make us happy, and this makes me very very happy.
Continue readingWell, this was kind of a downer of a movie! Happy, in that I am glad these stories are being told. Sad, in that BLECH! These stories have so little hope! Anyway, if you don’t feel like being depressed, you can just read my summary and discuss below instead of watching it for yourself.
Continue readingWell, this is a total downer of a movie! The posters and even the title sell it as more fun happy women together sort of thing, it’s more of a “life sucks and then you die, having scratched out one small piece of happiness for yourself” kind of thing. Watch if you want a very well made and well performed version of a woman’s life in modern urban India, don’t watch if you want escapism.
Continue readingFirst, warning, the Prime version of this movie cuts off a couple of significant moments including the ending, so DON’T WATCH IT THERE. You truly aren’t seeing the real movie.
Continue readingThis is an idea from Catherine who pointed out that Koyla, for example, is ripe for a remake, all silly action and strong heroine and all that. Which made me think about how many of Shahrukh’s early films had solid original ideas at the center that could be redone now in interesting ways, for instance flipping the genders, or aging everyone up to middle-age.
Continue readingWell, “lessor”, meaning not all time classics. It’s a pretty darn good movie, really! Or at least a fun movie.
Continue readingLast part! Awwww, I’m sad. It was fun having this crazy movie in pieces.
Continue readingWoot, second to last! Just zooming along. As is appropriate for such an entertaining fast moving movie.
Continue readingI am going so much faster through this movie than Baazigar! And of course there’s no comparison with how slooooooooooooow I went through JHMS, once we get there.
Continue readingWoo, I like these silly scene by scenes! And also the silly old school fun Shahrukh movies.
Continue readingA very very old post! So old, I didn’t even bother fact checking and assumed this was the first SRKajol movie. But also means you get to read young happy carefree Margaret’s writing.
