A bit of a tricky one. I feel like I can’t just ignore it, but I’m also not sure I really know him well enough to do a good post. If he were a real life person, he would be one that I just make 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies and a card for his birthday, because everyone likes cookies. Not like a good friend that I actually make something real for (oh! That reminds me, my best friend’s birthday is in a few weeks, I have to get to work!). So I’ll do the blog post equivalent of 2 dozen cookies, and just throw together a dozen reasons I love him.
Baahubali First Look!!!!!!!!
Hey, it’s Prabhas’ birthday! I’ll have to put up a post about it in a second. But, more importantly, his birthday present is a first look at Baahubali 2! So, let’s see what we can somehow discern from it.
Happy 11 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Getting Close!
Okay, favorite songs, favorite fanvids, favorite photos, saddest facts, happiest facts, time for a big one! Top 11 movies (was going to be 10, but I couldn’t decide what to drop, so I moved it up a day)!
Mahira is Staying in Raees!!!
A few days back I reported that rumor had it Mahira would be replaced in Raees, or at least the producers were investigating finding a different actress. One of the commentators pointed out that this wasn’t a very reliable report, which I agree with, but it was in Bollywoodhungama, which means that if it was wrong, at least they would give a detailed follow-up. Which they now have!
ADHM Resolution! Karan Humbles Himself, MNS is Happy
Well, I guess if you give people everything they want, they will give you the one small thing you ask for in return.
Happy 12 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Happy Facts!
For the 16th I did song videos, for the 15th I did fan videos, for the 14th I did photos, and yesterday for the 13th I did unlucky sad facts. Today, to balance that, 12 happy facts!
Happiness and Romance and Good Things Post!
This ADHM news has me depressed, so I thought I would throw in some nice happy news items. Well, “news” items.
Manam: So Much Better than Paa!!!!
I LOVED this movie! This is going to be my new happy making comfort food film every time I get down. Everyone is happy and good and does good happy things and has good happy things happen to them. And even if something bad does happen, not to worry! You’ll just get another chance in your next life!
Happy 13 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! For Unlucky 13, the 13 Saddest Facts of His Life!
Kind of a downer topic, I know. But I felt like there should be some actual content, not just happy videos and pictures!
ADHM Background Reading
I was debating whether it was worth it to try to research and summarize everything that happened with the release of My Name is Khan, for reference with the release drama of ADHM. And then I discovered, I could just link to other people who have already done that!

ADHM Update: Pieces are Moving Into Place For the Final Battle
In my last few posts, I’ve mentioned how the ADHM issue isn’t quite the same as My Name is Khan yet, because the government and police haven’t weighed in and picked a side. That is no longer the case.
Dangal Trailer!!!!!
So, this is the movie that everyone is like “The best movie of all time!”? So far, I’m not seeing it. A good movie certainly, probably a very good movie. I’m just not having my mind BLOWN by what I am seeing.
Attarintiki Daredi: Nadhiya Continues to be the Best
I saw Nadhiya before in Mirchi, and was stunned by how the “mother” actress was so much more beautiful and interesting than the love interests. That is even more true in this film, to the point that it is almost acknowledged in the script, that Pawan Kalyan was more interested in bringing his aunt home, than in spending time with her daughter who he professed to be in love with.
Happy 14 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Countdown Day 3!
I’ve down my 16 favorite videos, and my 15 favorite fanvideos. How about 14 favorite photos? That seems reasonable, right? It’s just now hitting me that I have committed to coming up with a new thing to countdown every day. This is going to be harder than I thought!
DEAR ZINDAGI TEASER!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, Another ADHM
Oh man, it looks SO GOOD!!! Dear Zindagi, not ADHM. ADHM looks the same as before, this new teaser provided no new info.
Happy Karva Chauth!!!
How am I not able to think of more Karva Chauth songs than this?!?!? It really feels like there must be more! If you remember what I am forgetting, put it in the comments.
Nayakan: Finally! A Kamal Haasan Movie I like!
As you may have picked up from my Aval Shanmughi and Ambe Sivam posts, I have a hard time with Kamal Haasan. Yes, he is a brilliant actor. Yes, he has movie star charisma. But it just seems like his characters have to be so perfect and so wonderful, that no one else is allowed to do anything. But this Kamal Haasan movie, this one I liked!
ADHM Update: Karan Makes a Statement!!!!
Yaaaaay! Karan says something! And it is personal and passionate and well-written and completely serious. Not his usual “Koffee With Karan” persona, that other side of Karan, the one that comes out when he really cares about something.
Happy 15 Days to Shahrukh’s birthday! Countdown, Day 2!
I got started yesterday, with my 16 favorite Shahrukh song videos. Today, my 15 favorite Shahrukh fanvideos!
How does Befikre Have 3 Trailers, and Dear Zindagi Has ZERO?!?!?!?
Today Dear Zindagi got it’s first poster, and Befikre got its 3rd trailer. How is this thusness? Dear Zindagi is coming out 3 weeks before Befikre!!!!
Happy 16 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Let’s Get This Count Down Started!
For today, the 16th day before the magical moment when it will be a full 51 years since Shahrukh was brought forth unto this world, my 16 most favorite Shahrukh song videos!
It’s my Brother-in-Law’s Birthday!
Don’t worry, I got him a real gift too. But just for fun, and to mark the occasion, I’m also going to throw up a Jeeja themed post. Just like the sister themed post I did for my sister’s birthday.
Monday Afternoon Questions! Because I forgot to put it up this morning!
Maybe I should make it Tuesday morning questions? Since I keep forgetting on Monday. But then I would just forget on Tuesday, and it would turn into Wednesday questions, and then Thursday, and Friday, and Saturday, and Sunday, and back to Monday again!

Varun Story That Isn’t a Story or Is It?
I’m not quite sure why this is even reported, because there’s the whole story, and then it ends with “but then it didn’t happen and may never have been a real thing after all!” I guess the story is that it was even a little bit believable to begin with?
