Valentine's Week of Sex: Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Making Love
Woo-hoo! A new Humpty Sharma review! For those of you who really really love this movie. Or at least tolerate those of us who really really love this movie.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: If a Genie Gave You Only One of These Wishes, Which Would You Pick? (Or, Would You Rather Karan Gets Married, or Alia Doesn't?)
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!!!!
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Thinking and Watching and Listening to This Week?
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.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Little Women as a Dark Romantic Drama! Laurie is Evil and Amy is Gay
Thanks Alisa! You saw the new American Little Women and complained about it which inspired me to rethink my Indian remake (already wrote it once here) when you suggested that one of the Little Women should get herself a Little Woman.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Gully Boy, the First Great Movie of 2019
Woo, Gully Boy! Released in February, just when I was thinking 2019 would have no good movies at all. And then it showed me that it would have at least one.
Continue readingLet's Wildly Gossip and Make Up Stories About People We Don't Know! What's Up With Ayan-Ranbir-Alia?
Gossip is bad, and we shouldn’t make assumptions about people we don’t know, and of course none of this matters as much as stuff that happens in “real” life. But, on the other hand, isn’t it fun?
Continue readingQuick Christmas Report! Albie Dog, and the Kapoors
I’ve got a holiday surprise I’m working on for y’all, but in the meantime enjoy this fun little placeholder post where we can all share our Christmas stories and trade gossip and whatever.
Continue reading12 Days of Christmas, Indian Film Style!!!!
Time to write our wish list for Santa! And he can give us anything he wants, because he is SANTA! Govinda come back? SRKajol reunion? Sid-Alia Break-Up? It could all happen!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: A Gross Story, Which Movie Should I See, and New Laal Singh Chaddha Images
So much for you to talk about! I mostly care about which movie people want me to see, because the showtime is at 11am so I need to make a decision soon. But you can talk about the other stuff too!
Continue readingSilly Sunday ReRun: Father Stories for my Father’s Birthday!
I am off to my father’s birthday party tonight, so no time to write a fanfic today. Instead, enjoy a rerun of father themed stories!
Continue readingNews Round-Up: Rana, Alia, and Tara Sutaria All Break My Heart,
Well, everyone is making bad decisions this week! And just because their big grown up celebrities doesn’t mean they are too big for me to correct.
Continue readingNews Round-Up: Are These Good Ideas or Bad Ideas? Sara and Kartik Dating, Bhansali and Alia Collaberating, Amitabh and his Liver, Rajkummar and Remakes, and More!
So many things happening without my supervision! I’m going to try to summarize them all and we can decide if they are good ideas, or bad ideas.
Continue readingInshallah is Delayed Days-Weeks-Unscheduled Time Ahead of Filming
What a weird story! I don’t think there is any big secret scandal to be unearthed here (except for my personal and almost certainly inaccurate crazy theory), but it is interesting to discuss because there is so much history and backstory and at the same time, so much unknown.
Continue readingNews Round-Up Part 2: Brahmins Go to Court, Alia Bhatt Goes on Vacation, Inshallah Goes to Florida, Shruti Goes to America
More news! Whenever I do these posts, there is one story that really jumps out at people, and I can never predict which one it is. I wonder which it will be in this post?
Continue readingBest/Worst Student of the Year 2 Song Releases, and Bonus Bharat Song Teaser
I don’t like this song teaser system because I feel like I should put up a thing for us to talk about it, but then I end up saying the same things about the teaser that I want to say about the full song and it is all just confusing. Luckily this time I can tuck the teaser in at the end of a post about an actual song.
Continue readingSaturday Assortment: An Interesting Link, Albie Dog Videos, and a Poll
Good news! I finally figured out how to load videos after the WordPress update! Also, Ticket posted an interesting link related to critics and celebrities, so I’m putting that up. And I have a fun silly poll for us too!
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Kalank Without Alia, and Other Script Fixes
If everyone in Hindi film just sent all their scripts to me for a final pass before filming began, everything would be so much better. I can fix it all! Just give me a chance before you spend crores and crores of budget on a movie with an ending that MAKES NO SENSE. Oh and Kalank spoilers, obviously, only read if you have seen the movie. And if you have seen the movie, please give me your opinion and suggestions for other better endings!
Continue readingKalank Review (SPOILERS): First Love is True Love is Only Love
What an interesting love quadrangle! I really really like the central set-up concept for this film, and kind of wish it could have been moved out of pre-partition India and into a regular rom-com setting. And really, if you like romances, you should watch it. Don’t spoil yourself! Read my no spoiler review instead.
Continue readingKalank Review (No Spoilers): The Plot is Not What You Think It Is
Well, that was fun!!!! If it had released 20 years ago, it would be a solid hit and forgotten in a month, and then it would pop-up on TV occasionally and people would say “oh yeah, that movie!” I don’t know how it will do in today’s world at the box office, but at least critically I want to treat it as the nice unambitious pleasant fairy tale it aspires to be, not as the Great Noble Brilliant Movie that it wasn’t even trying to be. I suspect other reviewers might ding it for not being the Great Noble Brilliant Movie they thing it should be without realizing it never wanted to be that.

So many little little stories today! I don’t want to try to tie them together and they aren’t really worth deep discussion on their own, so instead I will throw it all out there and let you discuss.
Continue readingFriday Classic: Udta Punjab, A Multi-Starrer Where Alia Easily Outshines the Rest
Such a disturbing movie. Like, not sure if I can go to sleep tonight kind of disturbing. Very disturbing. But also very high quality.
Continue readingKalank Full Length Trailer is Out!!!! (Also, it’s not based on What the Body Remembers)
Well, it’s pretty much what we thought. I think. No subtitles, because Dharma hates us. And then they will magically appear in like 3 hours. WHY DO THEY DO THIS???? Oh, and I actually did 5 minutes of research and confirmed that it is NOT based on What the Body Remembers any more than Paa was based on Benjamin Buttons (yes, that was a story for a while too).
Continue readingAlia Week: Shaandaar, a Movie in Which a Problem is Invented in Order to Avoid Facing the Real Issues
Oh dear. I know this is a movie that a lot of you really like. And I’m sorry, but I just don’t. So either you will read this review and be convinced and then I will have taken something pleasurable away from your life. Or you will read this review and disagree with me, and then we will be in a fight, and I don’t like that either. There’s really no way to win here, and I hate it! Well, I suppose I could lie and only say nice things about the movie, but that’s never gonna happen. I have to be honest and mean and make you unhappy. Shoot. Just, don’t read the review. Really, don’t, not if you love this movie and it will make you unhappy to read someone who doesn’t.
Continue readingBook Review/Hindi Film 101: Shaheen Bhatt’s Memoir About Depression
Thank you Filmikudhi for mentioning this book! It was a very good (and very quick) read. You can buy it for almost no money here. Really, check it out! Less than $2 and less than a 2 hour read.
