Shoot, I forgot the donation post for yesterday. Oh well, I think I forgot the promotion post last month, so this is a nice balance.

Box Office: Super 30 Super Sinks (Stinks?)
Well, this is heartening! In India (shockingly [sarcasm]) Super 30 is doing well in multiplexes and poorly on the mass circuit. Because poor people don’t like movies about poor people, rich people like movies about poor people. But Super 30 is also kind of DOA overseas! Wooo for the global market! Realm of taste and common sense and not being interested in poverty porn! (figures from bollywoodhungama)
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What is Your Happiness Shahrukh Khan Song?
It is extremely hot here, which also means I have gotten very little sleep for the past couple nights. So no deep thought post today, silly post! And anyway, I spent forever on the Deep Thought post yesterday, and it’s still got almost no views, so what’s the point?
Continue readingPakistani Film Week! Teefa in Trouble, Balu Mahi, Cake, Bachaana, Humsafar, and Zindagi Gulzar Hai
Thank you Filmikudhi for suggesting this idea! And the films Bachaana and Cake. I haven’t watched either of them yet, but they look great!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Thought Post, Shahrukh as the “Heroine” and Why We Love It
This isn’t really a discussion post, but it isn’t a 101 exactly either. It’s just it’s own thing for us all to consider.
Continue readingTiger-Hrithik War Teaser! I Have Many Follicle Thoughts
Well, this was disappointing. I was hoping for something a little lighter, but instead it is all very guns and black leather. Oh well, it’s just the first teaser.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions Post: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Week After Super 30 Came Out?
Happy Monday! I had an active exhausting weekend and then stayed up too late last night, which means I am kaput today. So, ask me questions! Help me stay awake!
Continue readingSunday ReRun/Hrithik Week: Bang Bang, My Favorite Hrithik Movie!
I love this movie so much. To a really unreasonable degree. I can justify it as a fun entertaining film, I can’t exactly justify my blind passion for it above all other films. Oh well, the heart wants what the heart wants.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What Animal is Shahrukh’s Spirit Animal?
This is even sillier than “what is his best hair” or “what is his best costume”. But it’s summer, I have no seriousness left in me.
Continue readingSilly Sunday ReRun: Sister Movies! For My Sister’s Birthday Week! Kareena-Karisma, Kajol-Tanisha, Romance and Action!
I forgot about this post! It is pretty old, and quite good. So I am hopeful those of you who read it won’t mind reading it again, and those of you who haven’t are in for a treat!
Continue readingImmigration Post: Is This Why I Had So Few Comments Today?
This was the slowest day for comments I have had since, like, I started the blog! And I have decided it is because all of my regular readers and commentators are good people who were off at the national immigration enforcement protests this weekend. Don’t know if that is true, but I choose to believe it because it makes me feel better as a blogger and as a person.
Continue readingHrithik Week: Lakshya, One of Hrithik’s 4 Great Performances (Lakshya, Luck By Chance, Jodha-Akbar, Agneepath)
This is a movie that is a bit hard to find, and isn’t discussed much, but every time I watch it I am impressed by how unusual and high quality it is, and how unusual and high quality Hrithik’s performance is.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Hrithik Roshan, the Cursed Golden Child, Part 2
Hrithik has had an oddly eventful life. Besides the movie-star thing, there’s just a lot of stuff that happened! And so I have to do a Part 2, even though he is only 45.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hang With My Parents
Happy Saturday! I get to hang out with my parents and my dog and not do much of anything. Maybe go to the cook out in the parking lot of the grocery store. Or a dog park. But you all can chat!
Continue readingSuper 30 Review (SPOILERS): Not Enough Masala
Well, that was a bad movie! I already put up a no spoilers review that explains how and why it was bad without revealing more of the plot than was in the trailer. You can read that and then not waste your time on this review. Or you can read both! Whatever you want.
Continue readingSuper 30 Review (No Spoilers): A Movie About Poor People By Folks Who Have Never Met Anyone Poor
Well, that was a bad movie! In a frustrating way, because it is trying to sell a lie as the truth. I am fine with movies selling lies, that’s kind of what fiction does, but what bothers me is when it packages that lie as a truth.
Continue readingTGIF Hrithik Week: Which Hrithik Look is the Best Hrithik Look?
Mostly Hrithik is handsome enough not to be able to do wrong. But within the realm of stunningly handsome, I feel like there are still slight variations that will allow us to pick the best options.
Continue readingHappy Birthday to My Sister!!!!
My sister turns 36 today. She’s ooooooooooooold! Or, to put it another way, she is a multiple of 3 which is her favorite number, so that’s a good year (she’s a math teacher).
Continue readingFriday Classics Hrithik Week: Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, A Star is Born
This is the third time I’ve posted this review, but I’m just gonna keep posting it! This was a really big deal movie, it deserves to be talked about again and again and again.
Continue readingHrithik Week Discussion Post: What is His Best Song?
Oh, this is hard! This is very very hard! He has so many good ones. I had a hard time even limiting down which to include in this post.
Continue readingHrithik Week: Aap Mujhe Acche Lagna Lage, Kaho Na Pyar Hai But More So
This and Na Tum Jaano Na Hum are the two bad Hrithik movies that I secretly like better than the good ones. He’s just such a bad actor! And the plots are soooooooooo stupid! It’s great “turn off your brain” fun!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Love Triangle Voting! Who Should End Up Together in KKHH, KHNH, Veer-Zaara, Devdas, DTPH, and More!
My goodness he’s been in a lot of love triangles! And we don’t always have to agree with the pair the director decided to end with.
Continue readingTrailers! Aryan as Simmba, Bhumi and Taapsee As Old Ladies
Huh! Two teaser trailers today and I’m not sure what to think about either of them. Luckily, I have you all to help me decide what to think!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What is His Best Costume Look?
You ready for hard HARD choices? Although I will let you mix and match a little if you want to put a shirt with different pants.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: How Would We Fix His Hair?
There are no bad ideas here! I am open to “stop dying it” and also “grow it shoulder length like in Asoka”. But I think we can all agree that there are better options than “slightly too long bangs and tan highlights” that he is going for now.
