This sounds dark, but it comes from a place of love. Some couples just should not be together! They will blossom and be happier apart.

Three Sentence Remake Ideas for Sid M, In and Out With Sid-Varun, Christmas in Connecticut with Jackie-Sid, The Bishop’s Wife with Shahrukh-Alia-Sid
Christmas remakes! Okay, one of them isn’t technically Christmas, but it’s all family love and stuff, so it could easily be Christmas.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Dear Zindagi! His Most Original Film of Recent Years
This is the most satisfying Shahrukh has made in the past 5 years. When people say “why does he have to be the hero?” or “why does he always do the same thing?”, this movie is the argument against that.
Continue readingSocial Media Round-Up: Tiger Sang a Song, Alia Birthday Wishes for Her Dad, Kajol Posted an Embarrassing Photo, Harsh Posted a Ridiculously Long Video,
Let’s check in on the world of light celebrity content and see what we can find! Nothing will ever be as good as Harshwardhan’s essay about “sneaker culture”, but I can always hope.
Continue readingSadak 2 Review (SPOILERS): Trust No Authority
Well, this is a movie that is very angry at authority figures! I can get behind that. The specifics of the message are maybe a little out of date, the GodMan is no longer as powerful in India as GodMob, but the general idea that blind trust in what you are told is bad, that’s a timeless message.
Continue readingSadak 2 Review (NO SPOILERS): Alia and Sanjay and Mahesh, Magic Together
Well, this was simultaneously better and worse than I expected! Mahesh’s directing and Sanjay and Alia’s chemistry together was far better than I hoped. And the anti-establishment message was a delight (I totally hit the nail on the head with my OSHO guess, by the way. Go me!). But the script as a whole just wasn’t quite good enough.
Continue readingInternet Round-Up! Saif Birthday Videos, Cute Sid Photos, Alia Post to Discuss, and FAN SWAG SHOP!!!!
Happy Internet stuff! Mostly because Angie sent me a link from twitter of THE BEST store. Is this what happens when you do twitter? You find out about cool fan stores?
Continue readingSadak 2 Trailer! Mahesh Bhatt Takes On OSHO
It finally released! And I decided it deserved it’s very own post. Generally looks like a decent movie (Mahesh could make no less), but also some interesting context.

Internet things! Including a broad definition to mean also “the video my co-worker sent of her kitten sneezing”.
Continue readingPride Day: Same-Sex Co-Stars With the Best Chemistry Who We Want to Be Secret Couples!
Surely, this will be a long list, won’t it? Any time you are watching a movie going “ooo, the two ‘best friend’ characters really have great chemistry”. Tell us about them!
Continue readingMini-News Stories: Malang Sequel, Nawazuddin Responds on Divorce, Ranbir Cuts Alia’s Hair, and Karan’s Kids are Kuties
Barely enough her to make a post, but you know I can’t resist Yash and Roohi videos. They dance! They do puzzles! They slowly and steadily destroy the apartment!
Continue readingMadhuri Week! Her Last Terrible Movie, Kalank!
Kalank! If you have a lot of time on your hands, a Prime subscription, and laundry to fold, this is worth watching. But not otherwise.

You ready for a challenge? I’m gonna pull out every big Varun dance song I can remember, and we have to rank them! Or at least, pick the one you love best (for those of you who don’t care as much).
Continue readingHappy Varun Week! Rank His Co-Star Chemistry! Is Shahrukh or Alia on Top?
Happy Varun Week! What a delightful celebration we shall have. Thank goodness Varun’s filmography is almost 100% light and happy. Not necessarily “good”, but definitely light.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Clean My Apartment!
Happy Saturday! Which has meaning for me, since I still work regular hours and enjoy having the weekend off. Of course, being me, that just means I find a different non-job kind of work. Because what is life if not a serious of challenges to accomplish?
Continue readingStudent of the Year FanFic! Let’s Make it All GAY!
I am very excited about this! When you add it all up, you can give all the characters a happy ending, if we just make them all Bi. And they are high school kids after all, hormones everywhere, Bi is more likely than not.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Emraan Hashmi, a Decent Guy Famous for Playing an Indecent Guy
Kind of a boring guy which, coincidentally, is what makes him so interesting. How does a boring boring person find a way to maintain some level of stardom?
Continue readingDiscussion Post: It’s Alia’s Birthday! What is Your Favorite Alia Movie? ALSO, Do You Think She is Super Talented or More Super Lucky?
Happy 27th Birthday Alia! You don’t get a special post of any kind (maybe tomorrow) because I got like 4 hours of sleep last night, and the night before, and I have that kind of physical grief hangover thing. Like, I’m not upset my aunt is dead, because it happened months ago after months of sickness, but it’s still A Thing to go see her buried and clean out her house and stuff. I told you all that’s why I was taking a train trip this weekend, right? Anyway, Alia gets a discussion post instead.

No, you can’t wish for infinite wishes! Genie’s are sick of the little smart aleck kids who say that. You can only have ONE wish, and it is strictly Indian film related, and here are your choices. Be warned, they are HARD!!!!

Happy Wednesday! I’m still recovering from traveling last weekend and just crawling through the work week. Very eager for Saturday when all I have to do is house chores and sleep in.
