A selfish wish! For us, the audience! Who is it that you have always thought could be really REALLY sexy if they were given the right role? And who do you wish would get that role in 2021?

In Honor of Sridevi’s Birth Anniversary, Who is Your Favorite Working Actress of a Certain Age?
Sridevi! Was a star from 13 to 54, but I want to focus on the last few years. Generally women of a certain age aren’t given good roles, but she came out with Puli, Mom, and English/Vinglish proving that wrong. In her honor, let’s share our favorite actresses of a certain age who are still working and proving their strength.

Just like for Sonam, I am bringing up a nice little lower budget pleasant film you may have forgotten about. If you need a smile, you should watch this movie!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Dimple! Final Post, You and Sunny
Dimple has been very lucky, to have one of the longest lasting movie star romances in Hindi film. But we don’t talk about it, because technically her boyfriend is married.

Last part! Although I may put up a bonus post kind of coming from the side and focusing on her relationship with Sunny.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Dimple! Your Family Saga, Part 2, Appearance of Akshay
Part 1 was all Dimple, and her love story with Rajesh and so on. This brings in the next generation, but I think that is fair, you can’t really understand or appreciate Dimple without understanding her daughter.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Dimple! Here is a Repost of Your 3 Part Family Saga!!!
I wrote this 3 years ago I think, so it’s a little out of date, but most of it is dealing with stuff from a long time ago anyway, so it’s not like it has changed any.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on Shilpa/Dimple/Sonam’s Birthday Week?
Happy Monday! I’m traveling today, sort of. My parents and I are moving up to the family lake house for the next two weeks, where internet access is spotty and the view is beautiful. No idea if this will affect posting schedules or not, we will all find out together.
Continue readingFriday Classics: Saagar! The Dimple-Rishi-Kamal Love Triangle You Didn’t Realize You Wanted!
Well, this movie was a kick! Definitely a fun Sippy, an Andaz-Seeta Aur Geeta-Shaan Sippy, not a Sholay-Shakti Sippy. If you have been politely ignoring all my Sippy movie posts because they seem way too deep and serious, you can swing back now and watch this movie because it is fun fun FUN! And a little melodramatic and romantic, but that’s just a different kind of fun.
Continue readingDabangg 3 Review (SPOILERS): Sudeep Versus Salman, Plus a LOT of Filler
If you watched the trailer and thought “I think I can guess the entire plot of this movie”, you are correct! You can guess the entire plot of the movie. But if you watched the trailer and thought “I’m not sure, I want to see it and see what happens”, or if you skipped the trailer entirely, you can skip this review too and just read the “no spoilers” version instead.
Continue readingDiscussion Question: What Indian Actors/Actresses Have Gotten More Attractive With Age? Ajay Devgan, Dimple Kapadia, Who Else?
You should all be very proud of me, I managed to finish my library book on kindle before midnight tonight when the library will magically take it away. And now it is too late for me to think through a serious “real’ blog post, so you will have to be happy with a non-real one.
Continue readingFemale Films Week: Best Heroines Who Aren’t the Lead, But Are Still Interesting
Is that title clear? I’m so tired, but I really want to have this discussion because I think it is interesting. What are the movies with a female love interest who is more complex than your usual “pretty face, good girl” kind of heroine?
Continue readingHindi Film 101: The Deol Family Part 3, Sunny and Dimple
I’m back! And we are now done with Dharmendra. At least, as the leading character. Time to move him back to a supporting role and bring in some younger actors.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Lots of Little Stories, Divorce and Injury and New Business!
This is the News Round-Up post I was going to put up yesterday, but then I did a silly TGIF instead. But now we can talk about it all Saturday! And I can do a bunch of tiny Saturday reports on news stories that aren’t important enough for a real post!
Continue readingTGIF: The Eyes Have It! Best Eyes in Indian Film in 5 Categories
Suggestion courtesy of Meenakshy, I’m gonna do best eyes in Indian film. In multiple categories, because you can’t really compare, like, Madhuri versus young Salman.
Friday Classics: Pyaar Mein Twist, Cute Cute Cute Cute Cute
Thanks to a conversation in the comments with Alicia/Bollywood Newbie, I went back and watched this movie again, and it is sooooooooooooo much cuter than I remembered. Really just adorable. Oh, and also kind of unique and groundbreaking in the sort of story it tells.
TGIF: Birthday Girl Face Off! Dimple Versus Shilpa Versus Amrita Versus Sonam
Well, this is an interesting little burst of birthdays. Ekta is in here too, but she’s not a professional face person, so I’m not going to mix her in with the rest. But I think it is fair for Dimple, Shilpa, Amrita, and Sonam to all challenge each other.
Happy Birthday Dimple! 15 Reasons I Love You
Happy Birthday Dimple! I cannot BELIEVE you are 61! You are still the most elegant, the classiest, the coolest lady in Hindi film. Here are 15 reasons I love you, one for every year you were alive when Bobby came out and made you a superstar. (this is a reposted and updated post from last year)
News Round-Up: Upcoming Movies, and Other Stories
Even more news! Announcements of upcoming movies primarily. Which kind of makes sense, we are entering the spring doldrums, so now is the time to start your promotion campaign while nothing exciting is hitting theaters.
Silly Sunday: Knitting Fanfic!!! In Honor of Visiting My Sister (Including Shahrukh Sexy Sweater Story)
Happy Sunday! Much later than usual. Because I am visiting my sister and I was busy learning how to crochet and stuff. Which brings me to this post! In honor of my sister industriously knitting away next to me, and our conversation on the TGIF post of the lack of nice handmade sweaters in the world, a knitting themed fanfic post!!!!
Friday Classics: Dabangg!!! The Most Progressive Film You Never Noticed Was Progressive
Dabangg! Finally getting around to it. And feeling “wasteful”, since I am going to have to come up with at least 7 posts for Salman week and now here I am wasting a topic I should have saved. At least Salman was considerate enough to release his film right before his birthday, so it will all just sort of flow together. Anyway, I will have to come up with another 7 topics without Dabangg (or possibly 14 if I decide to give him the full movie week and birthday week he is owed), because I have stuff to say about it and I want to say it this week! A lot to say, as it turns out, this ended up being the longest Classics Friday post so far.
Luck By Chance Annotated Edition Part 7: Karan Appears
Things are getting progressively interesting as the ending comes towards us! Most importantly, Karan appears! The unseen God who has put all of this in action. (full index of Luck By Chance coverage here)
Luck By Chance Annotated Edition Part 6: The Launch of a Star Daughter
Only 2 parts left after this! Now I am kind of sad. This was a nice different way to cover a film. (full index of Luck By Chance coverage here)
Luck By Chance Annotated Edition Part 2: Sanjay, Rishi, Juhi, Dimple
Oh boy, second page of notes! I’m excited! And also some stuff I forgot to take notes on that I will just throw in there somehow. (index of Luck By Chance coverage here)
Happy Birthday Dimple!
