Woo-hoo, Sid week!!!! I’m excited! And I’m being a week bit selfish, most of the public was voting for Hasee To Phasee, but I legitimately like Baar Baar Dekho better.
Continue readingMore 2021 wish lists! Who do we most want to get married next year?
Continue readingOh dear, I really wish I liked this movie. It would be so great to buck the critical trend and defend the man I love. But, I can’t. I just don’t like it that much.
Continue readingI don’t super love this movie, but it is pretty. And the soundtrack is amazing. And Shahrukh is in uniform. So how bad can it be really?
Continue readingYes! It’s true! We are finally watching Bang Bang! I was waiting in desperate hope if it appearing back on Netflix or Prime or something, but that’s never gonna happen. So we are einthusaning it!
Continue readingIt’s Edgar Rice Burroughs birthday! He wrote the Tarzan books, which I love. And he is from Chicago, which makes him even better. And a distant connection was married to his great great grandson, who was completely boring and respectable and Old Money since the family kind of forgot all their wealth came from cheap dime novels after a few generations.
Continue readingAll around good performances in this movie, especially Hrithik. But Naseeruddin is something special, giving us a whole character in just a few minutes of screentime.
Continue readingOh boy! This is gonna be hard. Sure, it’s easy to pick the one that goes on top, but how do you order the rest of them?
Continue readingThis isn’t a gift for Katrina in that she can read about her life, she knows her life. This is to make everyone who reads it a little more sensitive and respectful towards her. I know that was my experience writing it, I went from being neutral on Katrina to truly respecting her.
Continue readingAmitabh and Katrina Kaif! Who would have thought they had things in common? But they do! If you try, you can probably think of even more things than I list out.
Continue readingAlong with being Amitabh Positive Thoughts week, it is also Katrina Kaif Birthday week. Thank goodness! We need some pleasant gossip happiness frivolity, and Kat is Here For Us.
Continue readingI’m excited! Disney is now in India, for realsies, and I love the classic Disney fairy tales for their strong central female characters. Time for an imaginary rewrite!
Continue readingFun news stories today! A big deal gossip story, plus promotions for two upcoming films in the future that both sound GREAT!
Continue readingI’m gonna do it, today is the day I finish the 22 episode very slow Pakistani serial Heer! And that’s pretty much it, my whole plan for the weekend.
Continue readingI already did “not very famous”, but this is something slightly different. These people may or may not be famous, and they have no talent, but we like them anyway. Why???
Continue readingI just want to talk about how I secretly like Sid M. again. But I also think this is an important award! Effort should be rewarded. Most important part about this post is that actual end quality does not matter, it’s about the distance between the start and the end. Like, Ranbir is still a better actor/dancer/everything than Sid M, but has he improved at all from where he started?
Continue readingI already did this for the boys, but can the girls be far behind? And yes, “girls”. Most of these actresses started out before they were 20 and in my book that means you are still a kid.
Continue readingI feel like we could crowd fund this one, right? Just pay Anushka enough to produce it on a shoestring, and then get a locked youtube video that can be shared only with the DCIB community. For Happiness.
Continue readingThanks Alisa! You saw the new American Little Women and complained about it which inspired me to rethink my Indian remake (already wrote it once here) when you suggested that one of the Little Women should get herself a Little Woman.
Continue readingWhat a surprisingly good movie! There were still moments that could have been better, the ending dragged, etc. etc., but overall it is still a very good film. I can whole-heartedly recommend it. Especially during the warm happy holiday family times.
Continue readingWatch out, this is a long review. For no particular reason, I just had a lot of time the week the movie came out. But it’s such a fun happy Christmas kind of movie!
Continue readingI wrote this about 6 months ago, but I want to repost it now in context with the other actress 101s I have been doing. Just in case you missed it 6 months ago, or in case you read it and want to come back to it with fresh eyes, comparing her with Vidya, and Anushka, and Deepika.
Continue readingThank you Netflix-Excel deal! I got a chance to watch this movie for a second time, and I liked it quite a bit better on this watch. Especially now that I started with the knowledge I gained on my first watch, that the key to the whole thing is Hrithik.
Continue readingThis is an out of date post from a couple years ago, but only out of date in that the “most recent” film choices are no longer most recent. And, like, Anushka wasn’t married yet. Otherwise it is still a great post for giving you an idea of the pattern most actresses follow in their careers and how they play out.
Continue readingThank 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!
