This idea came up in an exchange between me and Genevieve a few weeks back and I think it is really good and fun. Who wouldn’t like to see SRK as a rich doofus turned handyman?
Continue readingSome people needed earlier, some later, I decided to just move it half an hour and see what happens. And y’all better show up! You were the ones who picked this movie!
Continue readingI put in that Govinda one just to make Popka happy. But now she has to tell us who would be the Govinda jodi person, because I don’t know.
Continue readingYaaaaay, Juhi week!!!!! And Yaaaaay, a really REALLY bad movie that is only available on einthusan!!!!
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Juhi! Her actual birthday is tomorrow, and we will of course be celebrating with a Juhi WatchAlong, but I wanted to put up this post today so you all remember why we are celebrating her.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And also, happy one week until my father’s birthday! And two days to Juhi Chawla’s birthday! And of course, the 102 anniversary of the end of WWI/Polish Day (hi Angie!).
Continue readingIt’s Juhi’s birthday on Friday!!!! Wooo-hoooo! I feel like we need to watch something Juhi to acknowledge that. But beyond that, I have no idea.
Continue readingYet another movie I was sure I had reviewed! But I hadn’t. Oh well. Time to do it now!!!!
Continue readingDid I forget yesterday? Pretty sure I forgot. Oh well, I’m having a lazy Saturday, so I will just put up three reviews today and make up. Fun fun!
Continue readingThis is NOT a good movie. Sorry to everyone (including one of my closest friends) who loves it, but facts are facts. On the other hand, there are more people than you would expect who love it! Something about this bad bad movie is just strangely lovable.
Continue readingThere came a time in the late 90s when Shahrukh hit this string of light comedies that had a lot of darkness at the center. Odd films that flopped when they released but are fascinating rewatches.
Continue readingThis is a reposted review from Juhi Week, so it’s mostly about how great they are as a pair. An excellent reason to review the film!
Continue readingI certainly enjoy Deewana and Chamatkar and Baazigar, but they aren’t like high quality deep classic things. Darr though, Darr is CLASSIC. A brilliant consideration of women’s powerlessness in the face of men who want to “rescue” her or “protect” her.
Continue readingWoo, first Shahrukh-Juhi movie! And first Shahrukh Aziz Mirza movie! They got along okay but didn’t really really like each other in this film. It was one of those friendships that built slowly, not almost instantly like Shahrukh-Kajol.
Continue readingOh boy! Get ready to have your SRK juices flowing, as I ask a series of specific questions about quarantining with him.
Continue readingStill watching Hart of Dixie which does really good love triangles, and it has inspired me to try and see what I can come up with as potential Indian film triangles. Not easy ones where it’s a choice between love and duty, but ones where there are two viable “love” options.
Continue readingSeeta Aur Geeta is the only Sippy film that can really be remade. Remaking Sholay is obviously impossible, and the other films fall into that fuzzy area where they are fun for what they are, and all the little character beats and stuff, but if you try to recreate it, it would all fly away and nothing special would be left. Like, I love Zamaana-Deewana, but remove the orgasm song, and Anupam Kher’s drag scene, and all you’ve got is a really weird plot about boring young lovers.
Continue readingI can only take credit for kind of pulling all of this together, not for the ideas, that is all BollywoodNewbie/Alisa and HolyMuffinSallie. But it is so good, I feel the need to edit it together and expand and put it up on the blog.
Continue readingLove this movie! Love it so so so much! And it is just perfect to watch during the Christmas season.
Continue readingI really hope a lot of you are watching this on Netflix! It is such a happy good feeling family movie, I feel like the world will be a better place if more people watch it.
Continue readingMy God is this a cute movie! It’s the kind of movie that you just want to pinch it’s cheeks and toss it in the air and dress in novelty clothing. SO CUTE!
Continue readingHey, a real TGIF! In honor of Juhi week, lets look at lots and lots of pictures. Pictures are fun, pictures are easy, pictures are something I can do between many many work phone calls (4 co-workers are at a conference, one is home sick, one is home moving house, and one is here with me trying to handle the entire office on our own. Oh, and Albie Dog is here, trying to be helpful).
Continue readingSo I was rewatching bits of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and considering how specific the Juhi-Shahrukh interactions are, especially from Shahrukh’s side, and I had a thought. And now I will look at their filmography and see if the thought I thought holds up.
Continue readingI fastforwarded through this movie to remind myself what it was like, and my goodness the Boring Dude is way more boring than I remembered! Juhi makes terrible romantic decisions.
Continue readingThis is a silly silly post. But it’s cold, and work is INSANE today. Let’s talk about all the movies where we really wish Juhi could have been the lead actress instead of the lead actress we actually got. Or at least would enjoy seeing her version as an alternative.
