I was going to do of 2019, make it a challenge between Made in Heaven and Gully Boy, but then I decided to make this really REALLY hard and expand our favorite partner pair to the whole decade.
Continue readingThis is a nice fun subjective post. This isn’t everyone’s song of the year, just YOUR song of the year. And then based on the responses, we can try to come up with a DCIB community majority Song of the Year.
Continue readingBest Actor, that’s easy! You get the good role, you do spectacular, you take all the close-ups and the big dramatic monologues, everyone notices you. But what about “best leading man who stepped back”? The ones who chose to let someone else shine?
Continue readingHappy Monday! It was a snowy wet blechy weekend here, so I don’t really mind getting back to the cozy little office.
Continue readingI was going to make this simply “best”, but that’s subjective. Of course this is subjective as well, but I give you a clear definition.
Continue readingBadla! Surprisingly solid little movie. Not groundbreaking, but well-made! Worth remembering as part of 2019
Continue readingI have faith that this community can intelligently discuss these two non-Indian news stories, and also find interesting ways to compare them to Indian news stories.
Continue readingI am feeling very very silly this Sunday, partly inspired by my post from yesterday about the hottest old men of the 2010s. Be silly with me!
Continue readingYou know who’s hot? Men who act their age. You know what’s NOT hot? Men who dye their hair and wear cool clothes and jump around like they are half their age. But, in the 2010s, who were the HOTTEST old men?
Continue readingThank you Angie and Alisa/BollywoodNewbie for alerting me to the arrival of two really good trailers! I make no promises for the quality of the eventual movies, there’s many a slip twixt cup and lip, but the trailers look good!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I’m gonna have a guy look at my foot, and then get a facial. So, head to toe kind of day!
Continue readingThe sad thing is how few of them there are. What with Hrihtik’s spaced out release schedule and physical issues, he just isn’t dancing as much as he should.
Continue readingI am so proud of myself, I watched a non-Indian movie! That is, a movie made in India but in a style totally unlike Indian film. And I understood it! Mostly!
Continue readingI am sure there are more, these are just the 3 that occur to me. Trailers that made me think “well, I’m not seeing that movie!”
Continue readingI started with a somewhat embarrassing photo that Filmikudhi and I were enjoying yesterday, and then I expanded to less embarrassing photos. I hope.
Continue readingSeems like, along with being an unofficial SRK fansite, we have also become an unofficial Akshay Kumar/Ranbir Kapoor anti-fan site. And I’m kind of okay with that, whatever makes us happy. Anyway, to go along with the “worst Akshay film of the 2010s”, we must also consider “worst Ranbir film of the 2010s”.
Continue readingThis should be divisive! Or, maybe not. My first reviews were divisive because they were pulling people who really liked the movie, but at this point it’s only going to be us DCIB regulars and I don’t think any of you were super super enamored? Oh, and fun thing about this review, I am combining the short review I wrote immediately which was flattering, with the SPOILER review I wrote after thinking for a day which was far more critical. So you can see my thought process develop over time, ooooo!
Continue readingThis will either be unanimous or contentious and I just don’t know! There might also be some real winners/losers I don’t know about from the non-Hindi industries, feel free to throw them into the mix!
Continue readingProblem of course, there is no good record of who choreographed what songs. So these are the songs that, as best as possible, I have confirmed Farah did between 2010 and 2019.
Continue readingOooo, this is a challenging one! So many irritating creative spelling/grammer/Hinglish mixtures in this past decade. But which one is the WORST?
Continue readingForget best song, that’s too hard. I’ll limit it down to just “best love song”. It was kind of an all over year for love songs, nothing immediately leaps out at me, which makes this a fun post!
Continue readingWooo, socialism! And more importantly, wooo-multi-starrer-style-films-to-tell-large-stories! Everything I hated about Mission Mangal and it’s whole “one man guiding the little women”, this film got right.
Continue readingI have to say, Hindi Cinema could do a lot of things better! Like, as an industry. Terrible habits it has fallen in to of procrastination, laziness, and overspending. Here are some suggestions I am offering for what the industry as a whole should be doing.
Continue readingSurprisingly hard decision time! For a year with limited romance releases, there were a shockingly large number of good couples onscreen, from old stalwarts Kat-Salman and Juhi-Anil to newcomers Alia-Ranveer and Tiger-Hrithik.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Boy it is hard to get through a whole week of work without a random holiday in the middle! Thank goodness I am going on many weekend trips in the upcoming weeks to cheer myself up.
