Yes, this song will last us well into the new year. There’s just so much to look at in it! And it is so pretty and romantic and fun and everything else! (full index of DDLJ coverage here)

Happy Salman Week! Salman in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Leading from the Heart
Oops, I forgot to put up a post yesterday! Oh well, no one is reading these anyway. But I still feel bad, so I will put up two today. First, Salman in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai!
Starter Kit: Top Jodis Of Hindi film
I was going to do a “100 years of history in 10” list, and then I realized there AREN’T actually 10 jodis of equal level. So I am just going to introduce you to the really really big ones and without worrying about how many I include or putting them in order or anything.
Janam Janam and the Raj Nargis Backstory
Another reposted post from the early days! My first stab at Raj and Nargis, in terms of what they meant related to the homage to them in SRKajol movies. Based on “Janam Janam” from Dilwale.
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 39: Mehndi Lagake Rakna Continues!
What, you thought it would be over in one entry? Nope, this things gonna continue for another 2 parts at least! Anyway, it’s a really important song! And I think the last song of the film? Am I forgetting something? If I’m not forgetting something, that is even more reason to appreciate it, that this is the last glorious burst of song before the rest of the movie plays out. (full scene by scene index of DDLJ here)
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 38: Mehndi Lagake Rakne, the Opening
What a great song! A big song number with the whole cast involved, but it doesn’t feel contrived, it feels like a party at a Punjabi farmhouse, only slightly exaggerated. (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
TGIF: Happy Christmas and World AIDs Day! Women (and a few men) in Red
Happy Friday! My goodness this has been a frustrating day. The second I get in to anything at work the phone rings and I have to stop. Whether it is blogging or sending an email or doing accounting stuff for work-work, I just don’t have long enough to be able to focus on it. I am writing this right now at about 2pm, we’ll see if I am able to finish and publish this thing before midnight. Anyway, Red! For AIDs and Christmas!!!
DDLJ Part 37: Kajol Puts a BandAid on a Broken Heart
Part 37! I skipped last week because of the holiday, well, the 3 holidays (my blogaversary, Niki’s birthday, and Thanksgiving). But now I am back. And it’s a super cute bit. (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
Silly Sunday: Kitchen Stories! In Honor of My New Kitchen
As you know, if you’ve been following along, I just got a new kitchen cart! And then reorganized my kitchen to take advantage of it. And then cooked chicken, soup, and a pie. So I am very kitchen focused right now.
Silly Sunday: Knitting Fanfic!!! In Honor of Visiting My Sister (Including Shahrukh Sexy Sweater Story)
Happy Sunday! Much later than usual. Because I am visiting my sister and I was busy learning how to crochet and stuff. Which brings me to this post! In honor of my sister industriously knitting away next to me, and our conversation on the TGIF post of the lack of nice handmade sweaters in the world, a knitting themed fanfic post!!!!
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 35: Sisters Share Joy
Not nearly as fun as the last part, because SRKajol aren’t together. But we do get to see their happiness after being together, which is nice! (full index of DDLJ here)
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 34: A Kiss!
Terrace scene, part two! What better way to celebrate SRK’s birthday than with a DDLJ post. And this bit is just too good, I went a little bit crazy with the screenshots (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 33: Chess And Lovers Quarrel
A little bit of Amrish Puri, and the our first terrace scene! Yay! (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 32: A Kiss is Missed
Another fun part! Really, all the fun parts are when Shahrukh and Kajol are actually interacting. Partly because their chemistry is great, partly because it feels like the plot is moving somewhere when they are in the same frame (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
Silly Sunday: 18 Movies Shahrukh Should Make Next (Part 1)
Next week I get down to 11, right? So I can go back in depth instead of these shorter ones? That will be a relief. This week though, another series of really short kind of idea sketches, since I have to do a full 18.
DDLJ Part 31: A Song and Dance of Women
Welcome back! A fun bit this time, the first time SRKajol are in the same frame in ages. (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 30: Shahrukh as the Man in the Window
Happy Wednesday! It is Shahrukh month, and I am still doing the DDLJ posts in addition to the 31 days o’ SRK posts. Mostly because there are a lot of people who read the DDLJ posts for the pure boring analysis, not the SRK love, so it’s kind of counter-programming. (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
DDLJ Scene By Scene Part 29: The Man in the Kitchen
Welcome back to DDLJ watch! And this is a very very big scene. Not in terms of plot, but in terms of changing how we see our hero. (full index of DDLJ coverage here)
I Just Saw The Perfect Movie to Remake with SRKajol!!!
Earlier today, Claudia in the comments of my Silly Sunday post requested a mature Shahrukh-Kajol love story. And then I sat down to watch my weekly Malayalam film, Bhaskar the Rascal, and BOOM! That’s the romance!!! It’s PERFECT!!! And so I am about to spoil an entire film, just so you can see how right I am.
Tuesday Tamil (On Wednesday): VIP 2! A Fun Film to See in Theaters
Well, I saw another new Tamil movie in theaters! Kabali, Vikram-Vedha, and now this. So, 66.6666% of all Tamil films I see in theaters start with “V”. And another 66.66666% involve relatives of Aishwarya Rajnikanth. And 100% of them involve me arriving at the last minute and missing the trailers. Oh well.
Happy Birthday Kajol! 43 Reasons I love you!
It’s Kajol’s birthday! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I LOVE her! Love love love! So I am going to do a full 43 reasons I love her, one for every year she’s been alive. Oh boy! (this is an updated and reposted post from last year)
Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, I HOPE it is Like This!
Only 2 (1?) days left! And finally, the movie that was my first thought when I saw the trailer, Pyaar to Hona Hi Tha. Which is very very hard to find and watch (thank you HotStar India and your obsession with copyright and streaming locations!), so forgive me if I miss-remember anything.
Friday Not-So-Classic: Gupt! The “Secret” is, This is a Fun Movie!
I know I know, normally this is where I talk about a classic film. But it’s been a busy week, and I didn’t manage to watch anything fancy, and I don’t have the energy to talk about anything fancy, and Gupt was a the library. And it is SO AMUSING!!!! In an “amusingly bad” kind of delightful way.
Silly Sunday Speculative Post: It’s My Sister’s Birthday Week! Why Doesn’t Hindi Film Have More Sister Storylines?
Happy Sunday! I am greeting you from Friday, when I am writing this post, because Sunday I will be out of town celebrating my sister’s birthday. Also my mother’s, it’s a whole thing, you’ll be hearing more about it. Anyway, since it’s my sister’s birthday this week, I thought I would offer up some script ideas for good sister based films, since Hindi film is woefully lacking in them! (and since the sister relationship is the most important in my life, as I have said)
DDLJ Part 23: Shahrukh is Here Only for Kajol
I’m back! We’ll see how this goes. I’ve cut Hindi Film 101 down to once a week to give me a little breathing space, and I get to pick if it is Tuesday or Thursday. That should help. (DDLJ full index here)
