What a fun topic! No, I mean that sincerely, I find this an interesting intellectual exercise since it is kind of like looking at my culture through a looking glass.

Tuesday Telugu/Tamil Special Edition: BAAHUBALI!!!! Second Half, Second Post! (SPOILERS)
Baahubali!!!!! Instead of my regular Malayalam post yesterday, I put up the first half of this Baahubali review, because it was dubbed in Malayalam and a big hit there too. And now the second half is today’s Telugu/Tamil post, because obviously it was also a big hit in Telugu and Tamil versions. And also, I am putting so much work into going through the film scene by scene, I don’t have time to do any additional post yesterday or today.
Special Monday Malayalam Post: BAAHUBALI!!!! (Part 1) Let’s Talk About 1, Before 2 Comes Out!
BAAHUBALI!!!!! I saw it 7 times in 10 days in the theater (Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday again, and another Tuesday), and then pre-ordered the DVD and watched it 4 more times with the few friends who had missed it in theaters. But that was a couple months before I started the blog, so I’ve never actually written a review of it. But now that Baahubali 2 is about to come out (FINALLY!), it’s time. And since this is a looooooooooooooong one, I am splitting it in two days, Monday and Tuesday. Hey, it was released in both Malayalam and Telugu/Tamil, right?
Monday Morning Questions Post, Baahubali Week!!!
Baahubali 2 is finally here! After such a very very very very very long wait! I am debating whether I spring for the $25 opening week tickets or keep holding off in hopes that the prices drop. In the meantime, distract me with questions!
Baahubali 2 Trailer!!!! Where’s Tamanaah??????
Yaaaaaay! The trailer is out! And I missed it last night because I can’t understand time changes! Karan announced when it would be released, but I thought it would be early this morning, not late last night. Oh well. It’s here now!
Happy Birthday Prabhas!!!
A bit of a tricky one. I feel like I can’t just ignore it, but I’m also not sure I really know him well enough to do a good post. If he were a real life person, he would be one that I just make 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies and a card for his birthday, because everyone likes cookies. Not like a good friend that I actually make something real for (oh! That reminds me, my best friend’s birthday is in a few weeks, I have to get to work!). So I’ll do the blog post equivalent of 2 dozen cookies, and just throw together a dozen reasons I love him.
Baahubali First Look!!!!!!!!
Hey, it’s Prabhas’ birthday! I’ll have to put up a post about it in a second. But, more importantly, his birthday present is a first look at Baahubali 2! So, let’s see what we can somehow discern from it.
Weekend Worldwide Box Office: Baahubali is in Germany!
Oh, I wish I was in Germany! I could eat sausages and cheese and incredibly rich cream cakes, and watch Baahubali on the big screen again! 5 times just wasn’t enough!
