Happy Wednesday! This week is going very fast for me, partly because we are shortstaffed at work (stupid summer vacations), and partly because I am working on the sewing project every free moment. Look, it’s Wednesday already!
Continue readingI know there has to be AR Rahman songs I’m ignoring. But on the limited DCIB list, we’ve just got the two films and about 20 songs.
Continue readingIt’s Deepika/AR Rahman week! So many movie options! And of course, their one collaboration, “Tamasha”.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! Stupid FedEx woke me up early today, again. Sent me a text at 6:30am to tell me my delivery was on the way. I’ve gotta remove them from my texting.
Continue readingYes, the eternal question! Let’s see if anyone cares to enter the debate this year! Or if we are all beyond these petty rivalries and don’t care.
Continue readingThis is an Actual Question! I showed 99 Songs at my Friends Movie Night last night and my new friend/guest did not believe based on 99 Songs that Rahman was a genius. So now I have to send her songs all day at work to prove that he IS a genius. Give me ideas!
Continue readingIt took me a bit to get around to writing my second review, but hopefully that gave you more time to watch the movie and join me in appreciating it!
Continue readingWhat a silly silly movie! It’s like Fitoor crossed with Mirzya crossed with Aashiqui 2 crossed with Half-Girlfriend. But oh boy are the songs GOOD. And also, sometimes you just want a really silly silly illogical over the top romance movie.
Continue readingWarning: I slept very badly last night for no reason, my brain fingers not working right, there will be typos.
Continue readingCombined post! Award and Birthday!!!! But mostly just an excuse for us to share Rahman songs with each other.
Continue readingI was dreading reviewing this movie and then I thought “well, what if I just don’t? What if instead, I explain to people why I don’t feel able to review it?”
Continue readingYou know those songs that make you feel like you are outside with the wind in your face and the sun shining and lots of space to run and run? Let’s share those songs with each other!
Continue readingThis is one of those irritating movies where it is 2/3rds perfect and 1/3rd messed up. So I totally recommend it for the 2/3rds, but I am also aware of the 1/3rd.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Boy it is hard to get through a whole week of work without a random holiday in the middle! Thank goodness I am going on many weekend trips in the upcoming weeks to cheer myself up.
Continue readingI gotta sort this for us, he has A LOT of songs in the past ten years. But I will limit it down just to the ones I already really like, and if I miss a really good one, you can fill it in.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I slept and slept and lazed and lazed and I have hopes of no longer feeling low energy and sick at work.
Continue readingOkay, I broke songs down into 3 categories, love songs and peppy bouncy songs and party songs. Now, out of all of those, I am going to try to limit it down to a few top options, and you all get to pick the bestest of them all!!!!
Continue readingI really hope some of you watched this film. Or are ready to discuss it with me either way. It’s a fascinating look at a relationship.
Continue readingThis will either get people very passionate, or not caring at all. No idea which! Also, not really sure which one I would choose?
Continue readingAnother “Emily thinks deeply about songs” inspired post! She was talking about the surprise hits, the ones from new composers or singers or just different genres. And that made me think about those songs that changed everything.
Continue readingMore important decisions! You can pick only the ones on which you feel confident, or make random guesses on all of them (just like filling out a ballot). Remember, most comments this month wins a poster!
Continue readingI am so excited that this movie is on Netflix! I was all set for it to be streaming on some obscure platform and I’d have to encourage you all to try to track it down. And instead, it’s right there! On Netflix!
Continue readingI am so happy to have a new Rajiv Menon movie in my life. His work is just so beautiful, it makes me feel good about the world, you know?
Continue readingI’m writing this last night and I am honestly not sure if I will be at work tomorrow or not. Or maybe I will be for a little while and then have to leave. I can’t decide if I am at the point where it will make me feel better to get out in the world and out of my bed, or at the point where I should really just stay in bed. We’ll find out!
Continue readingThis is a really brilliant concept for a film. An intellectual exercise more than anything. I encourage you to watch it straight through once without knowing what is coming, but I also suspect it might turn out to be more entertaining when you know what is coming and can watch how it is built. If you want to maintain the surprise, you can read my No Spoilers review.
