Kal Ho Na Ho has come up remarkably often in the comments as we talk about our ideal version of a love story. So I want to use it as kind of a jumping off point for a greater discussion.
Continue readingAll of a sudden after years and years of no biopics, they have become a plague on the Hindi industry in the past few years, especially sports biopics. So I am going to list out all the ones I can remember and describe their main themes, and we can decide which is the best one! Or at least, which you think is most interesting. And this will prepare us for the upcoming sea of more sports movies.
Continue readingI’m loving this “start a discussion” criteria! No need for perfection or judgement, just something to talk about. So, let’s talk! New topic, white girls in Indian films. Not the best examples, not the most examples, just some examples. And bonus, most of these characters show up for a song for 90% of their screen time. So you can join in the discussion as soon as you watch the songs! No need to limit yourself to movies you have seen.

Our last discussion post! So sad! Let’s see if we can bring the same excitement and rigor to the usual weekly Monday/Wednesday discussions after this is all over! Although I know it is hard when they aren’t Shahrukh based.
Question from Procrastinatrix! Which I really liked so I am using. We have talked a lot about the movies or TV series we want from him as an actor, but what would we like to see him do beyond that?
This is a question someone asked me ages back and it has stuck with me. So I am stealing it to see if anyone can come up with a better answer than me!
I already did two posts on the criticisms I agree with (here and here). This is Shahrukh month, so we aren’t going to deal with those. Instead we are going to vent about the criticisms that tend to come up which are most unjustified, in this safe fan only space where we can all agree (or mostly agree) with each other.
This came up in a discussion on Friday’s post, the unquestionable truth that Shahrukh looks better the older he gets. And then the challenge became, what other stars aged into better looks than in their youth?
This is just fun times. Let’s all share our own versions of what happens after the end of the film, what’s next for them? Again, no right or wrong answer, you don’t have to agree with me and I don’t have to agree with you, the film is open. (full index of JHMS coverage here)
I know you aren’t done! I know you have more to say. And rather than picking through the Scene By Scenes trying to find the right place for these Big Discussions, I am giving us designated places to talk about it all. (full index of JHMS coverage here)
