A Different Kind of Spiritual Comfort Post

Right after I put up my post about how everyone finds spiritual sustenance in different places, I got an urgent message from a friend saying she needed photos of sexy Indian men IMMEDIATELY!  Which kind of proves my point.  And also suggested another post idea.

Baar Baar Box Office and Aamir’s New Look!

Global figures are out for Baar Baar!  And Bollywoodhungama says that they are “dismal”, but I’m not seeing it?  But maybe that’s just because I am missing some extra information, like how big was the budget and how much were the distribution rights sold for.  Oh, and also a new weird photo of Aamir

News Round-Up: Early Box Office, Sonam Versus Balaji, and Amitabh and Aamir!!!

As I said in my review, I really really liked Akira.  So I am delighted to hear that the box office is picking up a little!  Almost as delighted about confirmation for the Amitabh and Aamir rumor.  The Sonam news, on the other hand, not so great.

Parampara: A Movie About Tradition in the Long Tradition of Movies About Tradition

Parampara!  Or, Tradition!  (and now I have that Fiddler on the Roof song in my head)  Anyway, this was a terrible terrible movie.  And it was a Yash Chopra film!  He must have run out of either money or interest at some point in the middle, because it is just confused and dull in a way that Yashji doesn’t usually let happen.  In fact, I feel fairly comfortable saying this is probably the worst film Yash Chopra ever made.

Friday News Round-Up (Mostly Photos): Aamir’s Ears, Shahrukh and Ali, and Kabali Box Office

Eid Greetings From the 3 Khans

Everyone opted for more of a family party this year.  Which I understand on like a personal level, I also would prefer to celebrate big holidays with just family.  But I resent it on a film news level, because I want more pictures of people in fancy outfits arriving for big parties!  At least to make up for it, all 3 Khans went out for a viewing and photo.

Happy Pride Day! Let’s Talk About What We Can be Proud About in Hindi Film!

There is more than you think!  I’m not just talking about Dostana, or Kal Ho Na Ho, or Dunno Y…Jaane Q, or Bombay Talkies, or Margarita with a Straw, or even Fire.  In the whole history of Indian film, there have always been those people off to the side, being themselves and being Queer.

Happy Father’s Day! Let’s Get Sentimental!

Happy Father’s Day!  Not quite as fruitful a source for videos/films as Mother’s Day, but almost!  And again, I am grateful that it happens every year so I don’t have to feel like I am limiting myself with just my choices for this year.

Rang De Basanti: This is Probably not the Only Post I Will Write on This Film

Rang De Basanti!  So brilliant!  So complicated!  So different!  I could write a post just on why Madhavan was cast.  But I am going to start with this post, and not worry about putting in all my thoughts, and then leave the door open to write more later if I feel like it.
