Important Music News! Mirzya Album is Out!!!! A Refresher On Why This is Exciting
I may have mentioned this a few dozen times before, but Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are my all time favorite composers. They have been since I first heard the Lakshya album when I was 19. And they have a new album out!!!! Mirzya full songs are available on Saavn, which presumably means they are available on itunes, spotify, and all the other websites the kids these days use.
Befikre Teaser!!!!!! A Move Towards Sexual Freedom!
Why is this not bigger news? Out of all the people I follow on twitter, only industry analyst/journalist Taran Adarsh tweeted it. And it only had like 20 thousand views on youtube when I last watched it. Maybe the content is making Adi look for a slower roll-out?
Happy Birthday Akshay!!! The Final 25 Reasons I Love You!!!!
I already posted my first 24 reasons, here are the final 25 to get us all the way up to 49 and one for every year of your life!!!
Wanna Watch a Movie With Me (again)? Sept 18th, 11am EDT! Only 10 Days Away!!!
A few months back, we did a twitter watch along for K3G, which was super fun! There were a couple of newbies who we got to introduce to the film, and some old hands who were super excited to share their favorite parts. (you can get a sense of what it was like here)
So, we’re now organizing another one! September 18th, 11am EDT. Kal Ho Na Ho this time (following the theory that it is available on Netflix and other streaming services, and pretty newbie friendly!).
Here is the link to more information on my publisher’s website (she is much more twitter adept than I am!). Hope to “see” a lot of you there!
And in case you forgot how fun Kal Ho Na Ho is to watch, here is a reminder!
Happy Birthday Akki Baby!!! 49 Reasons I love you!!!
49 years old today! Making him the middle child of the old school 90s stars. Younger than the Khan “triplets”, but older than Ajay. Anyway, Akshay is so big, he definitely deserves a full list of reasons, one for every year. And he is so old, that I am going to have to split those reasons in half! So, here are the first 24, right after midnight India time.
News Round-Up: Two New Videos, Diwale Battle Heats Up, and the Founder of Chippendales is Desi?
Two! Two great videos! One of which is striking and beautiful and amazing, and the other of which is just kind of cute.
Happy Birthday Ashaji!!!! (And Patsy)
It’s Asha Bhosle’s Birthday!!!! How Wonderful! 83 years old today! And you want to know something interesting? It’s also Patsy Cline’s birthday! Another female singer who had a lot of life and a lot of love and an amazing voice.
Happy Day After Labor Day/Fall!!!
Happy Day After Labor Day! An odd holiday, most other places celebrate it in May, but in America we do things differently. It’s also our unofficial end of summer/beginning of Fall holiday. Schools start after Labor Day, you aren’t supposed to wear white (white is a “summer” color) after Labor Day, everyone has their last cookout and then puts the grill away for the year. Which means today is the beginning of my favorite season, Fall!
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Song Video is OUT!!!!!
I was going to stay up all night waiting for Karan to release it on twitter, after he teased it would be sometime today (in India). Thank goodness I didn’t, because he released it like an hour ago, so I would have been up all night. But, yay! Now it’s here!
Ready for Amitabh to Make you Cry? And Farhan to Make you Angry?
At least, that’s what happened for me! Amitabh made me cry, and Farhan made me want to throw something. So, an emotional day for me!
Happy Birthday Rishi! 18 Reasons I love You!!!
Happy Birthday Rishi!!!! Did not realize you are the same age as my father. But mostly, Happy Birthday! An industry legend, who acted in your first classic film at age 18. And so I will give 18 reasons I love you.
Trailers of Legendary Indian Heroes!
New Trailer! For the movie that I am more excited about for the songs than for anything else! And, yay, it’s a song trailer! And also, a whole bunch of trailers for a movie I have been ignoring entirely.
The Ads America Doesn’t Get: A Selection
My post earlier today about the new Lux ad Shahrukh is in got me thinking about all those wonderful star ads we don’t get in America. Well, unless you spring for the India package on cable (Someday!!!).
Happy National Sports Day! Check Out These Sporty Songs!!!
Happy National Sports Day! I am sure it will be an extra celebratory one, with the returning Olympic champions. If you are looking for a good set of songs to watch and think about sports, I am here for you!
Alternative Hymns, Inspired By Church Service This Morning
My church did a service inspired by Krishna Janmashtani this morning. It was nice, a sort of general message of appreciating the innocence of the child, and how that can be spiritual, with lots of quotes from Swami Vivekananda. But I got so distracted hearing the slowed down instrumental version of all the hymns that I usually hear in movies!
Happy Baby Shahid and Mira!!!!
Shahid had his baby! Based on how open he and Mira have been about their married life so far, I expect photos and videos to start popping up shortly.
Happy A Flying Jatt Weekend! A Review of Indian Superheroes!
This is partly inspired by a review that accessbollywood just posted of all the new heroes launched in the past few years and how Tiger Shroff compares now that his 3rd film is releasing. I mean, it’s a totally different topic, but I am stealing her idea of using this new release as an excuse to look back at previous similar films.
FanVid Post: No Reason, Just Felt Like It
FanVid Post time! I was debating between that and a post running through all the previous superhero movies in honor of The Flying Jatt. But FanVids are more fun, right? And maybe I do the superhero post at some point in the next few days.
Happy Dahi Handi! (I know I already put up a Janmashtami post, but I don’t care)
I already put up a post with babies to celebrate Krishna’s birthday, because Krishna was a baby. (I don’t know why American culture doesn’t make that simple connection and make Christmas more about babies instead of trees). But, at least in Bombay, there is an added twist to the celebration with the “Dahi Handi”. Which is also a fabulous excuse for really fun song numbers in Bombay-based movies.
Happy Janmashtami! Let’s Look at Baby Pictures!
I am going to be just super self-indulgent and use this holiday as an excuse to post a bunch of cute photos/videos of movie stars with babies. And as babies. And other babies who love movie stars.
Happy Raksha Bandhan!!!
Happy Raksha Bandhan! A holiday I don’t get to celebrate at all, because there are no brothers in my family. Yes, even if I count cousins. All girls, all the time, both mother and father’s side of the family. But, at least I can watch movies and pretend this is what it would be like if I had a brother or a cousin-brother.
(as always, if you have a favorite video for the holiday, let me know in the comments!)
Happy Indian Independence Day!!!
Happy Indian Independence Day! I’m going to try a theme this year, and limit it to just things directly related to the Independence movement. Next year I’ll do something else like, I don’t know, patriotic songs that involve color coordinated clothing or something. The point is, there are so many patriotic options in Indian film! Way more than in American. At least, American post-WWII. And if I missed your favorite Independence movement set scene or song, just mention it in the comments!
Happy Birthday Vyjantimala! How Cool is It That You Share a Birthday with Sridevi?
So cool! It’s like, August 13th is “Day of great dancers with big eyes and sweet smiles”. I did 13 reasons I love Sridevi, I am sure I can come up with 13 for Vyjantimala!
Happy Birthday Sridevi!
It’s Sridevi’s birthday! I am so excited about celebrating! Because it means we all get to watch a bunch of really great song sequences as I list of my reasons that I love her. I’ll do 13, because she was born on the 13th, and she was 13 when she had her first heroine part.
