It’s not exactly a classic, but it’s also not bad. Really quite good in fact, with some amazing acting moments. Definitely worth getting its review reposted.

Shahrukh Day Once More! My Least Favorite Shahrukh Film
Bit of a controversial one, sorry if you like it, but I just don’t! And if you also don’t like it and have a hard time articulating why, maybe this review will help you.
Shahrukh Day Continues! A Review of His Darkest Film
Another one! A review of a classic Shahrukh film from back in the archives, pulled out and dusted off to entertain you while I am running around cleaning my house and stuff.
Happy Shahrukh Day! All the Shahrukh Classic Reviews, Starting With His First Film
Think of this as one of those special clip shows that TV shows used to do for off weeks. I’m still playing catch up from the holidays, so I am putting in theme reruns. Which will have the added benefit of helping me finally put together the lists of reviews by Star. I did Salman first, because it is his Birthday Week, and now Shahrukh. Starting with Dil Aashna Hai, his first film (first shot, second released).
All the Salman Classic Reviews in One Place
As a special treat for Salman’s birthday, I have been reposting all the Classic films I have reviewed of his (“classic” meaning, not new films I saw in theaters, but old ones I decided were worthy of reviewing again). And now he will become the First of the Stars to have his own little index of related reviews. I will try to remember to keep it updated.
Happy Salman Day! Bajrangi Bhaijaan, His New Classic
My final reposted Salman review! For his newest movie that I really really love. And which is something really extra remarkable.
Happy Salman Day! Tere Naam, Salman the Actor
Tere Naam! Another real Classic of a film. With an asterisk, indicating that it is in fact a remake of another classic film which launched Vikram, so it’s really more Vikram’s film than Salman’s. But the Hindi version is still great!
Happy Salman Day! Suryavanshi, a Divisive Movie
Some people just can’t get past the Conan-look to it. But I loved it!!! Despite the wigs and all.
Happy Salman Day! Salman Classics Reviews Reach Another Stone Cold Classic-Saajan
The last one, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, that was more just a movie I liked. This is an actual real classic by any measure.
TGIF: Smoking Men
It’s a pun! Do you get it? Because it is men who are smoking hot, and also actually smoking, like smoking cigarettes. Okay, so it’s kind of a lame theme, but I still have holiday brain, and who knows, maybe seeing all of these photos of themselves will inspire some of these guys to make it a New Year’s resolution to stop smoking.
Happy Shahrukh Day! The Most Shahrukh-y Film to Not Have Shahrukh Actually in It
Yesterday I did Salman, for his birthday, today Shahrukh. Think of it like those clip shows sitcoms used to do sometimes to fill empty weeks. I am still playing catch up from the holidays, so I am doing theme reruns to keep you entertained. Bonus, it is helping me finally organize my reviews by star, the way I have been wanting too! Oh, and I just love love love this movie. And it’s on Netflix! So anything I can do to promote it, even forcibly inserting it into this Shahrukh Day, is worth it.
Happy Salman Day! Salman Classics Continued, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai
This is slightly less classic than the others. But it’s a surprisingly good movie, and I really love the Twinkle and Salman chemistry in it.
Happy Salman Day! Baaghi, a Salman Classic Written By Salman
Another Salman classic! Baaghi, a movie he wrote himself. And featuring another really really good performance from him.

Happy Salman Day!!!!!! 7 Salman Classics Reviewed-starting with Love
I was trying to think what to put up for Friday Classics, and then I thought “why not a Salman movie that I have reviewed in the past, reposted?” And then I thought “why not two Salman movies?” And then I thought, “why not ALL THE SALMAN MOVIE CLASSIC REVIEWS ALL AT ONCE.” And I am going to start with Love, which was an early early movie of his, and he is just brilliant in it.
Starter Kit: Samarth-Mukherjee Edition, Rani, Kajol, Tanisha, Tanuja, Nutan, Shobha
The Mukherjee-Samarth family is really something special with their actresses. Definitely deserving their own special Starter Kit post, to go along with their own special Hindi Film 101 posts.

Anushka’s Bombay Reception! Who Was There and What Did They Wear
Getting this out of the way right at the beginning, I am not a fan of Anushka’s lehenga. It’s just kind of boring, and the waistband is weird. But the other clothes are worth looking at!

Happy Birthday Salman Again! Another 20 Reasons I Love You!
So, earlier today, I posted the first 20 reasons I love Salman Khan (not as much as I love Shahrukh, but still quite a bit). Here are another 20, the same 20 as the last 2 years, because I still love him the same.
Happy Birthday Salman (In India)! 52 Reasons I Love You!
I am a Shahrukh person, not an Aamir or a Salman person. But I can still appreciate not-Shahrukh stars for the wonderful people they are, even if that person is not my particular person. And Salman is wonderful. Which is what I have said for 3 years running now, and it is still true.
