Well, this is a remarkable film! It’s actually a lot deeper than I expected, reminded me of Jab Harry Met Sejal more than anything. One of those movies that is less a love story and more a story of two lost souls helping each other be found.
Continue readingI wouldn’t bother with this trailer if it were just another Amitabh revenge thriller type thing, but it’s produced by Red Chillies, which adds on another layer of interest.
Continue readingOh boy, fun post! And one that I definitely need your help with, because there are just so many romantic songs out there.
Continue readingThe sleeper hit of 2017, that would have been a straight up hit-hit in 2018. Great cast, great script, good songs but they were cut down too much.
Continue readingThis is a combo repost, it starts out with the academic-y discussion, and then ends with a fun quiz. You’ve seen both of these posts before, but I thought it would be a nice beginning for our Week o’ Romance.
Continue readingSometimes I really hate media. This is being sold as “Alia-Kangana Feud Heats Up!”, but really it is just Kangana making wild insane (literally) accusations and Alia trying not to deal with it. Exactly like the Hrithik situation, which was sold as “Hrithik-Kangana Break-Up Goes Bad!” instead of “Hrithik Roshan is Victimized by a Stalker”.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have such a fun busy week, supposed to see ELKDTAL with friends tonight or tomorrow, then on Weds. a friend I haven’t seen in a long time is coming over, Thurs. is my annual Valentine’s Party, and Friday is Gully Boy (yaaaay!).
Continue readingSuch a pleasant little movie! A painless way to start off our week o’ romance.
Continue readingEmily posted a link to a really interesting article about how the Gully Boy soundtrack was put together by multiple musicians with every song different (article here). That got me to listen to the soundtrack and go “wow, every song IS different!” And that got me to want to write this post, where I go into the musicians behind each song.
Continue readingHappy Valentine’s Week!!!!! I already did part one (here), and it got one pity comment from my sister and very few views, but I don’t care, this is my Valentine’s present to myself. So I’m doing Part 2 anyway!
Continue readingHappy Valentine’s Week! All romance posts, all the time, all week. Well, plus the Monday and Wednesday discussion posts, and maybe box office, and a news post if something really remarkable happens. But mostly romance! And to start it off, one of the best romance films of modern times.
Continue readingI did it! Not only did I do it, I did it and then I put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher when it was all over! Truly, I am a SuperWoman.
Continue readingWell, it’s only 5 days to Valentine’s, and I only have a handful of cards to mail!!! What is happening? Does no one like beautiful original Indian movie themed greeting cards any more? If you want a card, just speak up and let me know!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am busy busy busy all day. But good busy, interesting busy.
Continue readingThis seems like a thing that should exist, right? Romances that revolve around all the confusion of Valentine’s Day in India. And instead of getting sucked into just one story, I am going to quickly outline 14 different stories!
Continue readingThank you Filmilibrarian for this term/idea! By “fancy tax collector pants”, I mean the pants that Ajay wore in Raid, which were the standard office worker slacks, only very very very VERY well fitted.
Continue readingWell, Kangana is now publicly spiraling out. And the response is STILL “gee, so outspoken, so honest!” Well, at least from the comments and analysis on her pet site Pinkvilla, I think other sites are a wee bit more “this woman is crazy”.
Continue readingThanks to Claudia’s prodding, I am finally getting around to reviewing this! I really should have reviewed it ages ago, but I didn’t. But now I am! Better late than never.
Continue readingI am in the market for a dog, again, which is of course very sad because it means my previous dog is no longer with me (happened a while back, didn’t want to depress all of you). But on the other hand, dog photos!
Continue readingI am continuing my attempt to not let the weather get me down (I think I may need to pay gobs of money for last minute tickets to Florida or something. February in Chicago is REALLY REALLY HARD). So, here are news items that are completely unimportant and yet make me smile! Smile along with me!
Continue readingIt is just the worst weather right now outside my window. Overcast and mildly rainy, not even the excitement of a serious storm. Plus my windshield wipers stopped working this morning, which is also the kind of irritating-but-not-exciting version of car problems. It’s just bleh. So I am going to indulge myself with a post of songs that make me happy. And feel free to put your own “happy songs” recommendations in the comments!
Continue readingI don’t have a super lot to say about any of these stories, but maybe you will? Anyway, they are worth repeating.
Continue readingIt’s February, I’m grumpy. If you are in a similar state, I am here for you with sexy videos.
Continue readingThis is a very long and detailed review, as is appropriate for such a deep and complex movie. So, prepare yourself! Strap in for a lot of detail and discussion!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I hope you are as cozy and warm as I am this week. The horrible cold is over and now we are back to normal cold and thick blankets and hot baths and it is just a super nice end to the winter.
