And our final review repost! So exciting! Followed by the grand finale, the huge Mohanlal index. There are a bunch of reviews I didn’t even bother reposting.
Mohanlal Does Tamil!

Wait, Maybe This Was My First Mohanlal Movie?
I barely knew who he was in this, but I was still impressed.
Mohanlal Gets Meta!
This was a fascinating movie. And I learned so much about the film industry! And, also, it actually had a non-tragic ending.
A Happy Rom-Com! No Really!
YES! A classic Mohanlal film that is NOT super depressing! Just a little depressing.
Mohanlal as a Malayalam Devdas
This is the movie I had to watch on youtube with bad subtitles. So frustrating! So glad I have HotStar now.
Mohanlal Does Angry Young Man, Spadikam
Stupid Thilakan!!!!! Always ruins everything!
Mohanlal’s Big Hero Film! Narasimhan
I didn’t love this movie. It was okay, but I didn’t love it.
The First Big Hit Malayalam Post I wrote! Oh, and it has Mohanlal
Check it out, my first Malayalam post that got me a ton of views!
TGIF: Sridevi, Of Course
This is TGIF, it’s supposed to be a happy post. So no grieving here, just celebration of life. A big part of which was her clothes, remember how she was the best dressed at Anushka’s reception? And what we can learn from her, both in what clothes we want to wear, and the attitude we want to have when we wear them.
Mohanlal’s Classic Damaged Hero Movie, Kireedam!
Well, it’s all out of order, because Chenkol already went up, but whatever.
Mohanlal in Another Comedy (?)
All of these comedies are secretly sad! This is very frustrating.
Kaala Teaser! Big Enough I am interrupting my vacation for it!
Greetings from the airport! Where I am all energized from the Kaala teaser! If Rajinikanth can still do fight scenes at 60, I can definitely handle dragging a suitcase through the airport.
Mohanlal Day Reaches a Priyadarshan! Chitram
Some day I will get out of the classics and start skipping. But so far everything has been too good to skip anything.
Mohanlal Classic! Chenkol! Somehow Even Sadder Than Kireedam
I’m going in alphabetical order, so this one comes first.
Mohanlal Day Rolls On! Mohanlal as Bharat
Another classic! Boy, I’ve watched more Mohanlal classics than I realized.
Mohanlal Day Some More Again! Mohanlal Versus Mammootty!
Yep, I still like Mohanlal better. More open minded, more generous, more empathetic, he’s perfect!
My First Mohanlal Movie Where I Really Noticed Him!
I have got to see if I can track this down and watch it again and see if it is as good as I remember. Because I remember it being really really good!
Next Mohanlal Post, Aadhi! Mohanlal Jr and Sr
Did NOT like this movie much. But it is a Mohanlal movie, he’s in it (if only for 5 minutes) and he also kind of over-shadows it.
Happy Mohanlal Day! Starting with his Hindi Movie, Company!
Yes, it is another day of reruns! Because I am traveling for 24 hours and don’t want to have to worry about entertaining you all. I was feeling guilty, but then I looked back to the last time I traveled, and I just stopped posting. So reruns are better than nothing, right?
Another Mohanlal! An old one!
A comedy! Okay, sort of a comedy. Still has a bleak ending, but it’s a 90s Mohanlal, so some small amount of joy is the most we can hope for.
Sridevi Daily Review: Chaalbaaz! Seeta Aur Geeta, But Stronger
This is the last Sridevi daily review. Not the last review, I am sure I will continue watching her movies, but the last special review. As I said in my earlier post, I don’t want to feel that I am dragging this out, that her death is over-shadowing her life, and so it’s time to move back to a regular blog schedule. But first, ChaalBaaz!
Sridevi Final Post: Putting It All Together
This is partly because there are some friends in real life who are asking me to explain what happened, and partly because I feel the need to sort of write it out like a story for myself. And partly because this will be the last Sridevi news type post (probably. Unless something big changes), I don’t want to keep chewing away for ever, I want to sum it up one last time and move on to remembering her life, not her death. (previous as it happened posts here and here and here and here and here and here and here)
Mohanlal Day Modern Mohanlal, Drishyam
Happy Mohanlal Day! I’m traveling for forever today (not sad about it, I’d rather have long layovers and read my book than run around), so I can’t write new stuff, so reruns! I was feeling bad, but then I remembered that last year I just didn’t post at all. So reruns are better than nothing!
Holi Hai!!!!
Happy Holi! I almost forgot this holiday thanks to the national mourning happening (sounds like at least a few of the Holi parties for the film industry will be canceled altogether), but I remembered in time. This is a mix of songs I have posted in previous years and new ones. Enjoy! And let me know if I missed something (yes yes, “Rang Barse” and all the other must dos are there)
Sridevi Daily Review: Khuda Gawah! Sridevi and Amitabh and Nagarjuna
I know this isn’t the best movie, in many ways. But it is a very enjoyable and memorable movie. And I’m sleepy and this is a movie I can write about without thinking to much. Because it doesn’t demand much thought. Unlike yesterday’s movie, which is part of the reason I was up so late and am now so sleepy.
