Lots of fun little things today. Well, some fun, some stressful. But mostly fun! And also nostalgic.

News Round-Up: Shahrukh and Soap, Shahrukh and Christmas, and the Roshans and the Police
Not the biggest collection of news stories today, but still worth posting because of the bigger stories they are teasing out for the future.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Follow Up: Karan Speaks!!!
Okay, Raja Sen, on whom I have a HUGE brain crush (see also: Rajinder Dudrah), interviewed Karan for rediff, and you should go there and read the whole thing right NOW NOW NOW. And then come back here so we can talk about it.
News Round-Up: Another Film Studio Might Shut Down, And Two Others Risk it all on Bhansali
This is all industry news, really, but I find it interesting. Especially considering that UTV/Disney just announced it was shutting down, every little studio move is now exciting.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Teaser!!! Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Homage?
I did a stupid stupid thing, and stayed up until midnight my time so I could see the Karan Johar Ae Dil Hai Mushkil teaser as soon as he posted it at 10am India time. But now that I have stayed up, I might as well write about it real quick before I finally go to sleep!
News Round-Up: Sonam Kapoor Dating, Happy Bhaag Jayegi Slow But Sure at Box Office, and WILL SMITH!!!
WILL SMITH!!! What the heck is he doing in India? More specifically, what the heck is he doing at a Rustom success party at Akshay Kumar’s house? I mean, it looks like a fun party. Not some huge fancy wedding/Karan Johar style thing, just a relaxed house party. But still! How do they even know each other?
News Round-Up: Ranveer is At it Again, Salman Has a Video Game, and Prithviraj May Work With Akshay
At what point does Ranveer stop being charming and start being irritating? ANOTHER twitter video in honor of a Khan? Come on, Ranveer! Get a new schtick!
News Round-Up: Anupam Kher Works Out, Shahrukh Has No Shoes, and Disney Leaves India
There is a really funky little human interest story, and a really important industry story. But most of all, a really NO WAY!!!!! story about Anupam Kher.
Happy Baby Shahid and Mira!!!!
Shahid had his baby! Based on how open he and Mira have been about their married life so far, I expect photos and videos to start popping up shortly.
Asia Takes Over Forbes (Also, Shahrukh Wins!!!! WOOT To the SRKians!)
Forbes came out with their top earning actresses list yesterday, and the top earning actors list today. While yesterday Deepika was the only Indian news, today there are FOUR Indian actors on the list. Plus Jackie Chan right at the top at number 2. So, yeah, Hollywood watch out! Asia is coming for you! (also, Shahrukh is the highest Indian on the list! Woot-woot!)
Second Quick News Round-Up: Amitabh and the Censor Board both make big statements
Full disclosure: I’m coming up on my 1 year blog anniversary in a few months, and I want to make it to a thousand posts before then. So get used to lots tiny little posts where you think, “wait, why didn’t she just combine this with the earlier post?”
Casting News Update: Sonakshi Dabanggs, Aamir Dutts?
This is one of those posts where the news is way more exciting than anything I could say about it. So it will basically be just me repeating the facts.
News Round-Up: Robbery, Cameos, and Babies (in utero)
I can’t tell if there is a lot of big news today, or just so much little news that it all starts to feel big.
News Round-Up: Box Office, Casting Musical Chairs, and Sarkar 3
Nothing terribly surprising in box office, so I am mashing it in with a couple of other stories as well.
News Round-Up: On Set Photos, and Dil Se
This is all from twitter, basically. Sometimes, that’s all you need! The stars give you your stories directly.
I Saw Varun Dhawan Live!!!!!
I saw Varun Dhawan!!! And other people were there too. I mean, other people in the audience, it wasn’t just me and Varun alone in a room. But also, there were other people in the show. Only, I don’t really care about any of them. Which is really the big news, that Varun was so clearly superior to everyone else in the Dream Team show.
News Round-Up: Box Office, Badminton, and BABY!!!
Slowish news day. Just a few box office reports and some Olympics reactions. And also, BABY! Is Salman’s nephew the cutest baby in the film industry today? Possibly!
News Round-Up: Salman, Shahrukh, and Kajol’s Next Film (not the same film)
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I am going to hit the highlights and mention a fewer smaller stories I found interesting as well, and see if I can cover it all.
Sorry Shahrukh (on behalf of America) (and also Sorry Salman, on behalf of The Internet)
Oh dear, not a good day for Salman or Shahrukh, and I can’t help but feel it is partly my fault! As an American, and part of “The Internet.”
News Round-Up: Salman Makes Big Profit on Sultan, Announces New Heroine for Next Film. And Ritiesh is a Gentlemen. Oh, and Shahrukh’s next role might be AWESOME!!!
I really wanted to do 3 news stories about Salman, so I could have a nice structure for my headline, but no luck! And also no luck in only doing one on him and 2 on someone else, because his 2 stories today are too big to ignore. And then I had to shove a 4th story in there because the Shahrukh rumor is too good to ignore. It’s all out of balance!!! Oh well.
News Round-Up: Peace Between Hrithik and Akshay, Sultan Crosses 300 Crore, and Amitabh and Aamir to Unite
My favorite kind of news headlines today, the ones that combine big star names with juicy industry news!
News Round-Up: Salman is Still a Virgin, 2 Release Conflicts Coming Up, and Yash Raj Takes Care of Its Own
Slow news day, but Salman did attend the trailer release yesterday, so we got some cool quotes from that. And there were a couple of release dates announced. And Yash Raj is going to battle for Parineeti and Bhumi.
News Round-Up: Varun Might Get Married, Ali Fazal Will Star with Judi Dench, and Kajol Thanks us for Her Birthday Wishes
I’m not even sure I know who Ali Fazal is, but it’s still exciting that he might co-star with Judi Dench! Oh, okay, he was in a bunch of Western stuff, and also Always Kabhi Kabhi, which was produced by Shahrukh, so there is a Shahrukh connection, so therefore I care about him.
News Round-Up: Ranveer Was Cute, Gauri Khan is Impressive, and the Court Case Blackmail May End
Already put up a post about the trailers that are out today, but there were a couple of interesting news stories today, and one really cute picture, so I just have to talk about them too!
Trailers! Trailer Trailer!!! Baar Baar Dekho, Happy Bhaag Jayegi, and Flying Jatt
So, Baar Baar Dekho trailer finally dropped today, which made me take a look at a couple of other trailers for movies I am less excited about that have been out for a while.
