Radhe Trailers! Well, This is a Salman Movie All Right
In the crazy world of 2021, isn’t it nice to have a safe familiar relaxing Bad Salman Movie? Isn’t that alone enough to celebrate? If it was actually good, I would be yet another upsetting change in the regular scheme of life.
Continue readingAllu Arjun and Performative Gender
Oh boy! A post just for Genevieve! Who is obsessed with Allu Arjun!!!! Well, not “obsessed”, it’s not like she has a life size cut out of him in her living room (I have a life size cut out).
Continue readingQuestion: What Is the Cake Allu Arjun Gave His Daughter?
Genevieve asked me, and I don’t know the answer, so I am throwing it out there for GroupThink.

This is a repost, because I am feeling lazy today. But it’s a really good repost, and a really old one, so hopefully you will all enjoy it!

Oh boy! This is such a delightfully varied group of people, I am excited to put all their songs next to each other and see what happens.

Happy Angie’s birthday day! I always do a thing for her, but this year I am enjoying making a particular fuss, because it’s nice to celebrate stuff, isn’t it?
Continue readingHappy Birthday Allu Arjun! My Review of Your Happiest Movie, HAPPY!
I am so glad I remembered this film! It is so silly and light, but also very very pleasant. And the whole driver of the plot is that our heroine really really wants to finish med school and our hero does everything to support that!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Allu Arjun! Here Are Some of My Favorite Songs of Yours!
AA is such a kick! But I am not very good with Telugu industry stuff, so I am going to just put up my favorite’s of the songs I have seen, and you all will need to help me fill in some more. Movie recommendations also welcome!
Continue readingAla Vaikunthapurramuloo Review: The Middle-Class Perfect Hero
The chicken movie! The one with the really clever trailer! It’s on Netflix! And it’s…..okay. Didn’t blow me away, but perfectly fine. Tabu is there.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Prakash Raj! Here Is a List of Some of Your Movies
It’s Prakash Raj’s birthday! What a nice man he is. Seems generally hard working, respectful, and decent. Produced out of his own pocket a movie about AIDs, speaks up and says the politically unpopular thing, and everyone likes him and wants to work with him.
Continue readingAla Vaikunthapurramuloo Teaser: Chhapaak Take Note, Now THIS Is a Good Trailer!!!!!
On yesterday’s post about Chhapaak, I said that it was a bad trailer but could still be a good movie. On this post, it’s the opposite. Great trailer, might be a terrible movie.

Happy Thanksgiving! This movie has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, except that one of the things I am thankful for is that something this silly and enjoyable exists in the world.
Continue readingThursday Telugu: Julayi, One of Those Fun Telugu Action Films That is Smarter Than it Needs to Be
I did it! I watched a new Telugu movie for the first time in ages. And it was fun. Not groundbreaking, but fun.
Continue readingNew Posters for Southern Movies! Mostly a Post to Talk about Madhavan’s Hair
Forgive me, I have Madhavan THOUGHTS, and I need to share them. And I am going to put a thin camouflage over that need by also addressing other upcoming film posters from the south.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Allu Arjun! Rudhramadevi, Your Historical Where You Steal the Screen
If you live in America, Rudhramadevi just made it to Netflix, and you should definitely watch it! It’s like Bahubaali, but with a feminist message and really really bad CGI. But I like the message so much, I can look past the CGI.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Allu Arjun! Happy, Taking a Backseat to Genelia D’Souza
I watched Happy! Because I wanted Bommarillu and I got confused. But this one was still cute. Is it possible there is a whole genre of “Genelia D’Suoza rom-coms”? Just because she has such a young perky face, she ends up in cute young perky love stories?
Continue readingHappy Birthday Allu Arjun! Desamuduru, My Least Favorite Hair
Another Allu Arjun film! Am I remembering right that his hair changes frequently? Unlike most male stars, where the hair and the whole look is kind of part of their brand? If so, I think he should keep changing, because this look is not the best.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Allu Arjun! Gangotri, Your First Movie
This is one of my Netflix movies, and I have no memory of why I added it to my list. I’m sure I had a good reason. Possibly that it was an Allu Arjun movie with Prakash Raj, maybe one of you recommended it, or maybe I knew at one point that it was his first film. If I ever knew, I’d forgotten by the time I watched it. And now I can’t believe it! He was so good!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Allu Arjun! Aarya 1, The Ultimate Stalking Movie
This is one of those movies where I am watching it thinking “is the message I am seeing on purpose or an accident? Or an purposeful accident? Is it just where the characters ended up or was this the goal all along? Or did the writer start thinking of it as a statement on film relationships and not realize it was a statement on real ones too?” I think it is probably the last, because I started thinking about it in terms of film too, and then realized that it works just as well for real life. And, in fact, hits exactly my issues with the way culture treats female safety.
Continue readingAllu Arjun Day! Aarya 2, the Ultimate Allu Arjun Movie
Happy Tuesday! A fun movie to talk about this week, one that was recommended to me ages ago and I am just now getting around to thanks to Moviemavengal reminding me about it. (I know the two films aren’t really related, but if you want to see my review of Aarya 1, it is here)
Continue readingHappy Allu Arjun Day! Starting with S/O Satyamurthy
I am getting more and more fond of Allu Arjun with every movie. He has this attitude like he is playing someone playing a movie hero, you know? It’s all just slightly exaggerated, and I love it.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Leader of the Pack, Indian Style
Happy Sunday! This post is much later than usual because I have had a very busy day. Pleasant, but busy.
Tuesday Telugu: S/O Satyamurthy, Allu Arjun Does His Thing
I am getting more and more fond of Allu Arjun with every movie. He has this attitude like he is playing someone playing a movie hero, you know? It’s all just slightly exaggerated, and I love it.
Box Office: Allu Beats Mahesh, Amitabh Beats Them Both
Welcome back to Box Office! I skipped last week, just because, no real reason. But now I am back! In time for excitement with yet another good Telugu release. (as always, figures courtesy of renttrack by way of Bollywoodhungama)
