Continue readingHappy Birthday Karisma! My Review of Your Most Recent Work, Mentalhood!
This is just the funnest frothiest show. Highly highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it yet. And Karisma is a delight. She was born to be the lead of a dramedy. Below I have posted a brief description and an index of all my reviews, and then my review for the finale episode of the season. If you watched it already, tell me how much you loved it and Karisma! If you haven’t watched it, do that now and then read all my reviews using the index!
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening To the Day Before Karisma’s Birthday?
Happy Wednesday!!! I have an exciting busy day today, and then a boring day the next two days. Oh wait! There’s still the Friday movie to look forward to! Okay, it isn’t all bad.
Continue readingMentalhood Episode 9 and 10: End of the Season! Final Episodes! What HAPPENS????
I watched these two back to back this morning, and I honestly can’t remember what happened in which one, so I am going to review them as one thing. Really they are one thing, it was just a two part finale. (full index of Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingMentalhood Episode 8: EVERYTHING STARTS HAPPENING AT ONCE OH MY GOSH!!!!
I can’t even follow all the plotlines that started and stopped this episode! I’m gonna try, but this review won’t be complete because SO MUCH. (full index of reviews here)
Continue readingMentalhood Episode 7: Not-Gauri Makes an Appearance! Otherwise, Boring Episode
Well, my hopes are dashed. I dreamed of Gauri appearing as “Mrs. Aryan Khanna”, and instead we got some boring extra woman. Although we did get to see inside a kids party at Not-Mannat, so that was fun! (full index of reviews here)
Continue readingMentalhood Episode 6: Women United
Well, this was a dull episode! It got to where it needed to be in the end, but it was kind of limp on the way there. Oh well, we had 3 really good ones in a row, it was time for a sort of soapy dramatic and then nothing happens plot. At least my review should be short! (full index of Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingMentalhood Episode 5: Things Heat Up, And We Think About Mothers as Nurses
ILLNESS ALERT! But this episode is barely related to the current real life situation, so just block that from your mind with force of will and you can enjoy it. And it’s another Really Good episode! I have to say, from episode 3 on, this show has been super impressing me. Also, Dino is cute again, some more. (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingMentalHood Episode 4: Well, This Was an Interesting Little Meta-Statement on Babita’s Parenting of Karisma!
Ooooo, this episode was JUICY!!!! Both on and off screen. The characters had all kinds of back and forth and movement, but boy is it hard to watch and not think of Karisma working through her own issues of mothering and how she was mothered! (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingMentalHood Episode 3: Gender is a Construct, How Progressive is THAT for an Indian Streaming Show????
This is SUCH a good episode! Really well-done and smart and not giving any easy answers to an issue. Feels like this is the episode where they really are saying what they want to say and the others were just marking time. Really, if the first two episodes don’t grab you, keep watching until this one before you give up. (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingMentalhood Episode 2: Dino Morea is the Hottest Boy in School
Woo, Dino! I like him so much more as an actor now than I did when he was young. And his character adds an interesting texture to the show as a whole. Can’t wait to see what they do with him! (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingMentalhood Reviews Index! My First ALTBalaji Series!
Woo-hoo, ALTBalaji! I am dipping my toes into the highest quality Indian based original streaming content. (index of all Mentalhood reviews here)
Continue readingMentalhood Episode 1: Karisma is the New Girl in School
ALTBalaji! The little streaming service that could! It’s the streaming branch of Ekta Kapoor’s entertainment empire, and while on satellite TV she is know for inventing the sweet saccharine family drama, on streaming she is all about groundbreaking quality. This show isn’t the best of what she’s done, but it’s pretty darn good! Especially if you like mommy problems dramedies (Big Little Lies, the Bad Moms movies, etc.).

Time to write our wish list for Santa! And he can give us anything he wants, because he is SANTA! Govinda come back? SRKajol reunion? Sid-Alia Break-Up? It could all happen!

I started the 101s with the Kapoors, so this is one of the very first posts I put up. But it’s still accurate, and it’s still good, so I am reposting it! And now you can learn about the Kurrent Kapoor Sisters.
Continue readingChristmas Week: Hum Saath Saath Hain, the Ramayana in Bright Colors
I thought I’d reviewed this movie, but I’d just hosted a tweetalong. Oh well, I am sure I can zip out some kind of a review in no time.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Inside Insiders, Versus Outside Insiders, Versus Outside Outsiders, or Ranbir Versus Ranveer Versus Ayushmann
Thank you FilmiKudhi for the idea! I suspect/hope this will turn into a heated discussion simply because when we have had similar debates in the comments, it has always gotten heated. So, prepare to battle!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Silly Sunday: A Movie For Nisha/Karisma in Dil To Pagal Hai
Poor Nisha/Karisma! So much more interesting than “just” a third leg of a triangle should be. She deserves a happy ending, right?
Continue readingSilly Sunday/Shahrukh Summer: Count of Monte Cristo Part 2
Indulge me, I like this plot. And I know at least one or two of you are reading it. The rest of you can just ignore it and let us be happy. Oh, and here’s part 1.
Continue readingSilly Sunday ReRun: Sister Movies! For My Sister’s Birthday Week! Kareena-Karisma, Kajol-Tanisha, Romance and Action!
I forgot about this post! It is pretty old, and quite good. So I am hopeful those of you who read it won’t mind reading it again, and those of you who haven’t are in for a treat!
Continue readingAndaz Apna Apna: Is It Just Too Irreverent to Be Popular?
Happy Aamir Day! No reason besides my being swamped at work and needing to fall back on reruns. And also wanting to pull together an Aamir index to go with my Shahrukh and Hrithik and Salman indexes. So, today you get a bunch of Aamir reviews I wrote and posted already being reposted! Fun fun fun!
Baby! Big Baby! Taimur Turns One and Makes All Our First Birthday Parties Look Like Garbage
At one point, Shahrukh was rumored to be coming. But it looks like they scaled back after Shashi’s death. Which is good, because if Shahrukh had come, I would be SO JEALOUS! What does that baby have that I don’t have? Why would Shahrukh go to his party and not mine?
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!!!!
