Watch Aiyyaa With Me, 2pm Chicago Time, Friday 3/20
Woo-hoo! Friday afternoon movies! So I can enjoy the fact that I am off work early on Fridays. Oh, and I picked Aiyyaa because Genevieve said she started it and stopped because she wanted to watch it with us. Also, it’s available basically EVERYWHERE, so everyone can join in.

Another productive and useful post! Or alternatively, a fun post I will enjoy writing even if no one enjoys reading it. I tried to imagine how some of our favorite couples would have handled their “first night”.
Continue readingRani Week! Aiyyaa, My Favorite Rani Performance!
I’ve been thinking about it as we go through Rani Week, and I think this is my favorite performance from her. It’s not showy, and it’s not her usual Type A heroine, it’s something different but charming. And I don’t think any other actress could make it work.
Continue readingSexiest Songs, Rani Alone
For a respectable actress, Rani has done a fair number of songs that show off her sexiness as a solo person. Not item songs exactly, more songs where we are watching her from the perspective of the hero and desiring her.

A repost, but a fun one! Anyway, we all love rom-coms, right?

I’ve done fire, I’ve done deserts, and yet the snow and weird cold snap keeps coming. I guess the universe is waiting for me to do “hot and steamy inside together” songs.

I’m including this on Wednesday Malayalam, because PRITHVIRAJ! In one of his greatest roles. Or at least most shirtless roles.
Continue readingTen Indian Films to Start Feminist Discussions!
This is NOT “Ten Feminist Films”, because that’s a wee bit subjective. And it’s also NOT “Top Ten”, because that’s a way bit subjective. Instead, these are just ten films that bring up interesting discussions around gender. If you ever want to have a real downer of a movie night, you can show these and then make people discuss. Feel free to add on your own options both for films and discussion questions in the comments!!
An Important Question For Our Time: What is the Sexiest Scene in Indian Film?
I don’t think anyone has formed a definitive answer to this before? Or, perhaps, even been brave enough to pose the question!!! But I feel like if anyone is qualified to answer such a vital open research topic, it is the DCIB community.
Hindi Rom-Coms to Watch Once You Finish the Standard List
This was a request from my new anonymous commentator, she was looking for an “underappreciated” list, but when I started to think about it, “underappreciated” is kind of hard to define. So I went with “not your standard massive hits that everyone knows”. Here are some little mini-reviews and suggestions, feel free to add your own in the comments.
Happy Fat Tuesday! Songs for Bodily Indulgences, Food and Otherwise
Happy Fat Tuesday! I just waited in line for 20 minutes to buy Pazckis and by the time I got to the front, I decided to just get a full dozen because I had earned them. This is supposed to be the day we gorge ourselves after all. And to help us all get into that mood, FOOD SONGS! And also other songs, but they are hiding under the respectable food ones.

Happy Birthday Prithviraj!
I don’t know enough about him, and Hema exhausted me, so Prithviraj has to content himself with a simple dozen reasons I love him.
Aiyyaa: Like Ohm Shanti Oshaana, but Weird!!!
Now, if you remember, I looooooooved Ohm Shanti Oshaana. Whole-hearted no reservations loved it. And the big main thing I loved is still there in Aiyyaa, that it is a love story from the female side instead of the male, the woman gets to fall in love at first sight and be the stalker and make all the big gestures and stuff. But, all the little things in Aiyyaa are just WEIRD! Weird weird weird! I can see why it wasn’t a hit.
