Really, this is a present to me. I love this series so much, I will use any excuse to refer back to it. And hey, an Index! Who doesn’t love an Index?
Continue readingHappy Birthday Sanjay! I can’t do my traditional “reasons I love you” biographical post, because I’ve already gone so far into your biography, there is nothing left to say. But I can list out a bunch of really really silly songs Sanjay was in to make us smile!
Continue readingFinally, a weekend when I am sincerely excited about the release! A nice happy rom-com, how lovely.
Continue readingI know you are all fascinated. Or at least some of you are fascinated. Anyway, I have video of a little doggie swimming.
Continue readingI put up a post this morning of classic films that could be rewritten and remade for Shahrukh, and after thinking about it, I think Sangam is my top choice. Shahrukh can play the guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and loves loves loves and ultimately turns out to be a better happier husband than the dignified guy who hides his feelings.
Continue readingDo you realize this entire weekend has been Shahrukh-less? That cannot stand! I must throw something together!
Continue readingI like Sanam Saeed fine in this show, but I really like her sweet kind optimistic sister Sidra who is married off to an American doctor and never seen again. What happens to her?
Continue readingI love this movie so much! It’s clever on like 5 different levels simultaneously, and also somehow extremely goodhearted. I love goodhearted cleverness, when you can see through the illusion of things and still love them.
Continue readingI love love LOVE this movie. And almost no one will write good reviews of it or see it, I just know it. But I LOVE this movie.
Continue readingPersonally I like Humsafar better, but I can also see that this is the superior show, better story, better production values, all of that.
Continue readingI still haven’t written the review because I know it was the one people were least interested in, but SEE ARJUN PATIALA!!! THIS WEEKEND!!!! It is super clever, charming, happy, all around delightful. And I suspect it will only be in theaters for a few days because clever, charming, happy, delightful movies don’t last.
Continue readingThis movie had honest trailers, so if you liked what you saw in the trailer, the weird look and the twisted plot idea and so on, then you should avoid this review and read the No Spoilers instead. The film is far more enjoyable if you don’t know the twists. But if you saw the trailers and felt like it wasn’t for you, then it probably isn’t for you and you can just read this review instead.
Continue readingI did it! I watched it! Just for you all. And it was odd and unpleasant to watch, in a way that I thought was on purpose, but apparently not.
Continue readingThis isn’t going to be nearly as good as yesterday’s post, but then what could be? Anyway, let’s compare and contrast Shahrukh’s various smile options!
Continue readingI’m in the middle of 3 movies in 24 hours and I am way way too tired to write anything real (finished the last review last night at midnight, up at 6am for work). So this is a catchall whatever post in the meantime.
Continue readingSo happy to be writing this review! This is one of those movies when I was just ITCHING to rewrite the script just a tad and fix all their problems. And now I get to do that in the review! Thank goodness.
Continue readingI did it! A midweek movie! At a theater that doesn’t usually show Indian movies, and was still half full on a Thursday. So, woo-hoo Vijay Devaronda!!!! His career is growing by leaps and bounds.
Continue readingWhat a fun silly movie! One of those nice “nothing really matters that much and we aren’t taking it seriously” kind of movies. Don’t watch it if you want high quality and deep thoughts, but it is super fun if you just want sunshine and silliness!
Continue readingI am, like, BARELY qualified to write this. I read a couple articles, I did a grad school seminar that discussed Pakistan history, and I’ve seen maybe a half dozen Pakistani films. So really, not a lot of knowledge! Any less and I would refuse to write this at all. I encourage you to go out and learn from others, and to comment and teach me more if you know more, this is just a starting point.
Continue readingYou ready for tricky choices? We already discussed his best costumes, but which is his best real life outfit?
Continue readingWe can pretend we are here for original analysis of media and sociological discussion, but let’s be real. We are actually here for cute dog photos.
Continue readingFinally, some interesting news stories! Money and stars and interesting things like that, instead of more casting rumors and created controversies (blech!).
Continue readingAnother lazy discussion post, but hopefully one that some of you can leap in and join the discussion. Shahrukh doesn’t really have a solid “mystery” in his filmography, and I think he would be great playing the detective role, especially now that he is too old to play the young hero.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I still haven’t decided which movies I am watching, but I am strongly leaning towards Dear Comrade on Thursday. Because it opens on Thursday! So much easier!
Continue readingWhat an interesting good film! So glad you all nagged me into watching it. And now I am turning around and nagging those of you who haven’t seen it yet to seek it out and watch it too.
