Such a good movie! And especially rich in actresses, Konkona and Dimple and Sheeba. And yet, Juhi is still something special.

Vote Here! Which Juhi Movie(s) Should I Review For Juhi Week?
I can’t decide! Help me! I’ve seen a whole bunch that I haven’t fully reviewed and I can do a quick rewatch and throw up a review. But which ones????
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day! Aaina, Where She Once Again Steals a Man from Amrita Singh
It makes no sense! I can barely get over the idea that Amrita Singh and Juhi Chawla would be fighting over Jackie Shroff (Even I have to admit that he does look good in a mustache), but why would Jackie Shroff ever be interested in Amrita Singh if he could get Juhi Chawla? She is so clearly superior!
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day! Is Tum Mere Ho The Worst Movie She Made? And if So, Why Do I Still Love It?
Happy Juhi Day! This review was original Aamir focused, but there’s lots of Juhi in there too. And oh my gosh is this movie fun to watch!
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day! Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Her Happily Cynical Take on Media
Thank goodness for Juhi Day. Through a random combination of sickness and family emergencies and conferences, my office is half-staffed today and I get to spend the day being yelled at over the phone because the person they need is not available. But Juhi always cheers me up!

Happy Wednesday! I am just crawling through this week, the weekend really wiped me out. But hey, Juhi is here for me!
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day! Darr, Her Hero Role
Forget Shahrukh, this is an amazing Juhi role and Juhi performance. She goes from feeling safe and happy, to feeling frustrated because no one respects her fears, to feeling trapped because no one is letting her confront her fears, to finally taking back the power for herself.
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day!!!! My Favorite of Her Art Films, Which You Should ALL WATCH, Jhankaar Beats! (it’s on Netflix)
Happy Juhi Day! And also happy “Margaret is totally emotionally and physically exhausted and is just posting a bunch of reruns” day! 15 hours of driving and two packed days of family stuff can kill you.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Juhi Chawla! This is Why You Are Awesome
It’s Juhi’s birthday today! Well, in India. November 13, and it is already after midnight there.
Continue readingNetflix Serieses for Shahrukh! Red Chillies, Take These Ideas Free of Charge!
Having another lazy night, eating popcorn and watching BBC mysteries while the dog sleeps. It’s one of those days where it is so cold outside that once you get inside, your body goes into hibernation mode. Anyway, this means it is a good time for me to do a nice cosy little post, the ideas we have crowdsourced for the Netflix family series that Shahrukh should make in order to have a nice work-life balance while still keeping his face in front of the world in a non-controversial way.
Continue readingMy Sick Day Viewing, Fascinating True Story With Anupam Kher Playing a Role-BBC Miniseries Mrs. Wilson
This is amazing! Ruth Wilson playing her own grandmother in the story of her grandfather who was both a scoundrel and a brilliant actor, probably where Ruth got it. Anyway, I have to share the story in case you don’t want to watch it and also because it is so fun to imaginary recast in India. And also my brain isn’t working because Sick, and recasting is easy. Also, SPOILERS! Avoid if you like limited BBC historical miniserieses midcentury true stories/Ruth Wilson
Continue readingFriday Classics: Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, an Anti-Capitalist Comedy
What a happy movie! What a fun happy movie! I had forgotten how good it was until I rewatched it, and it is really really good. One of those movies that had modest ambitions and accomplished them.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Love Stories By way of 1930s Hollywood (Including a Divorce Romance for Shahrukh and Juhi!)
I left work early on Friday and just came home and spent the weekend watching TCM. So many fun obscure movies that we could remake!
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: Overboard! With Shahrukh and Juhi, and Prabhas and Anushka!
I posted this late Wednesday night, but it got very very few views. I am hoping that is because people just didn’t see the post, not because they hate it. I have TV again thanks to youtube, which means I am seeing Overboard on a constant repeat, the way TV tends to play it. And I am thinking, once again, how easy it would be to fix this and make it the totally perfect plot. And so long as I am doing that, why not set it in India?

This sounds really egotistical, but I have the most amazing hair you will ever see in your life. Like I said, egotistical. But actually, it’s just saying a fact. It’s amazing. I love going in for my annual trim, because everyone takes photos and applauds and it is generally good for the ego. Anyway, I am getting my semi-annual cut tonight and it seemed like a good theme for a TGIF post, women with awesome hair.

Happy April Fools! Here is the post I wrote last year, which has lots of fun movie ideas based on tricks and pranks.
Continue reading20 Shahrukh Songs Outside the Standard List
I’m really sleepy. The whole “getting up at dawn to get my car fixed” yesterday really wore me out. And I’ve been sleeping weird because I still don’t have a dog (another post on that today! Fun fun! For my doggie subset of readers). Anyway, get ready for me to be lazy and give the people what they want. As Neha Dhupia says, “Only Sex and SRK sell”.

Such a happy making movie! Really, wonderful and shiny and fun and I think, if you are part of the DCIB community, you will love it.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: A Summer Place, Shahrukh as a Sexually Unsatisfied Middle-Aged Man and Loving Father
I had such fun re-writing one strange memorable 60s Hollywood teen film last week, I thought I might try again this week. Especially because this one has the PERFECT role for Shahrukh. Oh, and it is also very VERY long. And not necessarily good, I just wrote myself into a plot hole and it took a while to write myself out.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Juhi Chawla Hollywood Remake Options
Procrastinatrix inspired me, mentioning that Juhi reminds her of Judy Holliday and making me think how perfect a Bells Are Ringing remake with Juhi would be. And then I started thinking about other remakes and how they would also be perfect. Get ready for some very deep cuts of classic Hollywood, because Juhi really has a classic clever Hollywood Musical feel to her.
Friday Classics: Raju Ban Gaye Gentleman, Shree 420 Meets the 90s
Yaaaay, another Shahrukh review! See how I am sneaking them in under the guise of “Friday Classics” even now that Shahrukh Month is over? Oh, and plus Juhi in a really nice role, for her birthday. Although Aaina is a better Juhi movie, remember to watch it for this Sunday if at all possible! It’s also a wonderful Amrita Singh movie, if this film makes you want more of her.
Random FanFic: Juhi as a Private Eye, Shahrukh as the Cop who Loves Her
My FanFics don’t get many views, but the DeepVeer wedding is all anyone will want to talk about today anyway, so why not indulge myself? And those few of you who enjoy reading them. Especially those of you who helped me come up with this idea.
Happy Birthday Juhi!!! A Dozen Reasons I Love You!
I feel bad only giving her a dozen, but on the other hand I am going to be posting two reviews of her movies this week (Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman on Friday and Aaina on Sunday).
Silly Sunday Fanfic: A Spooky One! Horror Films for Indian Movies, Starring Tovino and Shahrukh
I know India has a somewhat thriving horror business now, and horror films are definitely not my genre (I have seen three), but it’s Halloween week, so it seemed appropriate.
