Happy Birthday Kajol! I love you, even if not everyone does. And I think not everyone does because maybe not everyone remembers what you used to be.

Wednesday Watching Post: What Are You Watching and Reading and Thinking and Listening to on KAJOL’S BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Happy Wednesday! And Happy Birthday Kajol! To celebrate, I am hosting a virtual movie night where we will not be watching a Kajol movie. Oh well, at least we will probably do a Shahrukh film, which is almost the same.
Continue readingIndulgent FanFic Post: High Quality Middle-School Dramedies Remade as Indian Movies, The Babysitters Club and Andi Mack
I love escaping to a world of 12 years old, when your parents had the house and food and clothes and stuff responsibilities, and you just had to solve mysteries and fight and make up with friends and so on. Usually I escape in bookform (Trixie Belden, woot-woot!), but there are two high quality TV shows (like, seriously high quality, not just kids shows) that I have been saving for a special occasion and now I am binging and I DESPERATELY want them remade in India. Only with the focus on the parents.

Discussion time! No wrong answer here, just personal stories/opinions.
Continue readingAlternate Kuch Kuches: Little Anjali and Salman Romance, Shahrukh Falls in Love With Someone Else Instead of Kajol, Shahrukh is Bi and Kajol is a Man
Is “kuch kuches” the plural, do we think? Or is “kuch kuchi” better? I’ll leave it like this, but feel free to weigh in with your thoughts in the comments!
Continue readingHappy Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Day! Starting With Character Posts, Anjali!!!!
I forgot about this, I wrote a whole bunch of specific KKHH analysis posts. We had such fun watching it together on Saturday night, and it’s Karan Johar week, so I thought I would put them up again.
Continue readingKaran Johar Week Discussion Post: Which is His Sexiest Couple?
We discovered last week that Aditya Chopra doesn’t actually do “sexy” well. But, in contrast, I think Karan really REALLY does. Question is, which is his best sexiest pairing?
Continue readingDDLJ Part 52: (Aditya Chopra Week) Shahrukh Finds the Moon (Happy Birthday Joyomama!)
Part 52! Less fun than the last part maybe, because Himani and Anupam were suuuuuuuuch fun. But SRKajol are fun too, in their own young dumb way. And also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOYOMAMA!!!!! You mentioned it in a comment on another post, and I made this present for you right quick
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Who Do You Have A Girl Crush On?
Do we all understand the concept of “girl crush”? Someone you aren’t sexually attracted to, but you think they are just really REALLY cool and you want to hang out with them and eat ice cream and be best friends.
Continue readingGupt! Kajol and Bobby and Manisha OH MY!
This is such an awesome bad-good movie! If you have the ability to watch it, and a high tolerance for 90s camp, I highly HIGHLY recommend it.
Continue readingTentative Scheduling Post: Bad Girls Movies
No one cared about my Bad Girls Theme Month announcement, but maybe this will give you something more to talk about. What movies should I write about?
Continue readingDDLJ Part 50: Karwa Chauth Party Party!!!!!
I’m back! I just took about 200 more screenshots and it got me slightly less than 5 minutes farther into the film. So even if I do a post a day, I think we still have a month or more before I end this thing. Which is good news or bad news depending on how you feel about it.
Continue readingDDLJ Part 49: The Romance of a Fight
An SRKajol scene! Always the most interesting ones to discuss. Although by this point in the film/my analysis, I’m not sure if there is that much new for me to pick up between them. But I will try because Rachel said she was depressed last night and I want to cheer her up!
Continue readingDDLJ Part 48: Father and Son Comedy Team
I’m back! I am starting fresh, with a sprinkling of Christmas cheer and happiness, and a new system for pulling images that hopefully makes this less horrible of a process for me, so let’s see how I do. UPDATE: oh right, I forgot the other reason I stopped these posts, it’s been an hour and this post only got 4 views so far. Not a lot of interest for intense scene by scene discussion.
Continue readingChristmas Week! Dilwale, a Very Short Review
On Friday I reposted my ridiculously long Baar Baar Dekho review. Today, I’m reposting another early review where I went the other way, my surprisingly short Dilwale review! Anyway, it’s a happy family and love Christmas film, totally deserves to be remembered the day before the day before Christmas!
Continue reading10 Days of Christmas Movies! Why Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is the Perfect Family Movie
This is the post I wrote about why Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is meaningful to me, and it inspired many lovely comments from other people telling their own stories. There’s something about this film that inspires warmth and friendship and community and joy in a way that is very Christmas-y.
Continue reading10 Days of Christmas! Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, the Most Sappy Heartwarming Christmas-y Movie of All!
Happy Christmas! 10 days left! And to start off our celebration, I am giving you the sappiest happiest family-est Hindi film EVER!
Continue reading2010 Week! My Name is Khan, a Very Very Dark Film and a Surprisingly Good Film
This is a very good deep review that did not get many readers or comments the first time around. I’m okay if the same is true this time. It’s a dark dark movie. I don’t want DCIB to become a dark place, so if you do comment, try to find a brightness in it somewhere. For instance, “this is a dark movie, and I am so proud that Shahrukh Khan was one of the first people to speak out about Islamophobia in America”. Or just keep it superficial, “this movie is so frustrating because there is so much well done in it, but the plot just makes no sense.”
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 readingWomen Directors Week: Tanuja Chandra, the Woman Who Makes Everything
I haven’t come close to watching every Tanuja Chandra film, but I find her fascinating as a person and researching this post made me want to watch more of her films. Hopefully it made you feel the same way!

Last Kuch Kuch post! Sad for those of you who love Kuch Kuch, happy for those of you who are sick of it.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Post, Why Does it Mean So Much to Some People?
This is going to be a lot of personal stuff, get ready for that! But also it might help you understand why, for the particular moment in time and the particular generation I am and all the rest, Kuch Kuch is still so important.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Lovers and Soulmates, and the Importance of the Gazebo Scene
Niki suggested that instead of trying to cover everything in KKHH in one huge post, I break it down into certain themes or elements. I like that! And the first theme that I find interesting is tied up in everyone’s favorite scene, the Gazebo moment.
Continue readingSexy Sex Sex! In Hindi Film, Songs in Which Sexual Acts Outside of Procreation Are Implied
I just put up a post about kissing onscreen, and a comment from Alisa/BollywoodNewbie got me thinking about how maybe the reason kisses are so shocking is because they are the one act everyone understands. While all the other stuff that is just implied goes right over people’s heads. Not “against the grain” things, but things that have no logical explanation beyond sex, and imply sex which is not procreational and married and in the missionary position.

This is a repeat from August for Independence Day, but it is a really really good post, and I checked my views for the original and they weren’t THAT high. So I am repeating!
