This is more of a thought experiment post. I want to try looking at all of Karan’s films through the lens of parenting, specifically BAD parenting, and see what we come up with.
Continue readingThe clothes!!!! The starting point in many ways for Karan. He got very excited about this new look he would do for the college years, and it totally worked, the KKHH look was a craze. But why did he think it was so important? What did he do with them that was so important?
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I love these short weeks. I always do a half day on Fridays, and I had Monday off, and Thursday is really just a slide into Friday, and the first day of the week is just a slow ramp up to productivity, so if you think about it this is my only real work day of the week. Huzzah!
Continue readingThis is it! The greatest question of our time! The debate we have all be training for! Which of Karan’s two greatest scenes, is better?
Continue readingWe 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 readingIn our discussions about Karan for his birthday, this movie keeps coming up. And it makes me want to go back and talk about it again, really digging in to how this film can tell us about Karan’s personal journey and how he sees himself.
Continue readingOh Harsh Kapoor! Truly, you were put on this earth for my amusement. Certainly not for anything useful, Harsh is pretty much the perfect example of a person who exists purely for ornamental reasons.
Continue readingIt’s Karan’s birthday! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! And I thought it would be nice for us to celebrate by saying all the nice things we can think of about him.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I don’t have to work today, yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! For weird reasons related to American history, we all have a holiday here that no one else in the world gets.
Continue readingIt’s Karan Johar’s birthday week! So what better time to finally do a 101 on him? 101s on living active people are always tricky, because if people are alive, they change. But I will do my best by Karan as he is right now and we will see if I need to do an update later.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! Karan Johar songs! The perfect happy escape. And not an over-whelming number of them either, so I think we can rank them all, don’t you? Especially because I am removing My Name is Khan since I don’t like throwing something that real in with the other stuff, feels disrespectful to victims of hate crimes, you know? So, Karan Johar songs, but with MNIK removed!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am back in my apartment for the first time in two and a half weeks, trying to figure out what I want to do with it. The answer could very well be “nothing”, but it does feel like I should be doing SOMETHING so long as I am staying at my parents most of the time. Like at the very least reorganize my books since I won’t care about having piles of them everywhere.
Continue readingWelcome to the start of a very abbreviated Karan Johar week. Karan has given us so many dreams.
Continue readingBarely enough her to make a post, but you know I can’t resist Yash and Roohi videos. They dance! They do puzzles! They slowly and steadily destroy the apartment!
Continue readingAll vital news stories of the day!!! Through instagram. I do like seeing these nice photos from nice people, even though social media still scares me.
Continue readingDid you know Karan is posting videos of the twins? I didn’t! And I have come to share that joy with you.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a productive weekend (Two new streaming series started!) and now I am ready to do work-work.
Continue readingWell, not “millennial”, Design for Living was almost 100 years ago, and there is the whole complicated Duchess of Devonshire-Lady Elizabeth Foster-Duke of Devonshire thing. But I guess the word “throuple” is new, so that’s something my generation has contributed to relationships.
Continue readingNo, you can’t wish for infinite wishes! Genie’s are sick of the little smart aleck kids who say that. You can only have ONE wish, and it is strictly Indian film related, and here are your choices. Be warned, they are HARD!!!!
Continue readingI wish Indian films and Indian celebrities focused more on shoes. They can be such delightful works of art, but unfortunately most of the time they seem like just after thoughts to outfits.
Continue readingThis 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 readingInspired by a question from Procrastinatrix, I got to think about boss’ in Indian film. Mostly they are pretty awesome, and in fact I wouldn’t mind working for any of them!
Continue readingI am writing this at work from memory, I don’t have my King of Bollywood (the book, not the person, the person is obviously always with me in my heart) with me, so forgive errors! Forgive, but correct, I will doublecheck and fix if I have to. Also, GOOD LORD this is long!!!!! Sorry about that.
Continue readingNiki 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 readingHuh! Two teaser trailers today and I’m not sure what to think about either of them. Luckily, I have you all to help me decide what to think!
