Jagga Jasoos Review (SPOILERS): Insults the Intelligence of Children and Adults

Posted on by

Well, I watched it!  I hated it!  And not just because I was planning to hate it.  I really did hate it, even after giving it a fair chance and sitting straight through.  Also, I was really really really really bored.  I checked my phone 5 times, the first time after the first 20 minutes because I thought surely the first hour at least must have passed.  Honestly, the best part of the whole experience were the trailers (A Gentleman, looking better and better!).  And now I am sitting in the mall food court, eating lunch and writing this very fast so I can leave the whole horrible experience behind me.

Silly Sunday Speculative Post: Multi-starrers! What Movies are Crying to be Remade?

Posted on by

Happy Sunday!  Datablue mentioned re-watching Ocean’s 11 on the Wednesday Watching post, and of course that got me started thinking about how/why it should be remade in Hindi film.  And then I started thinking about all the other multi-starrer options from American film that really should be remade.

This is thanks to two commentators, Filmilibrarian who reminded me about Victoria & Abdul, and Niki who sent me the Spyder teaser seconds after it dropped.  Oh, and then Salman Khan who tweeted the new Tubelight song this morning.

TGIF: For the End of Flu Season, a Vitamin C Filled Post!

I don’t know what was up this winter, but everyone I know got sick!  I got sick twice, and like really really sick, not just “a little tickle in the throat” sick.  And among my friends I heard everything from bronchitis to walking pneumonia.  But it is supposed to be over now!  Right?  Because it is officially Spring?  And to celebrate, lets have one last orgy of Vitamin C!

Hindi 101: The Kapoors, Part V, Ranbir Arrives, Plus the Last Kapoor Brother

Posted on by

I am trying to keep each of these posts to around 2,000 words, just seems like anything more would be too over-whelming!  Which means I had to break Ranbir off from his Dad.  But, as a bonus, I am tossing in his youngest uncle (not much to say about Rajiv).  And I will be back on Thursday to deal with the “other” Kapoors, Anil and Sonam and their clan. (part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here)

Happy Birthday Salman!!! You’re not my favorite star, but I still love you!!!

I am a Shahrukh person, not an Aamir or a Salman person.  But I can still appreciate not-Shahrukh stars for the wonderful people they are, even if that person is not my particular person.  And Salman is wonderful. (This is what I said last year for his 50th birthday, and it is still true today on his 51st!)

Happy Dear Zindagi Week! Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Shahrukh Deals With a Crush

Posted on by

My second Anushka movie of the week!  This time it is NOT a May-December romance.  Or I guess it is a May romance but not a December romance?  It’s unrequited is what I am saying.  And I have to kind of wonder if there is going to be something similar in Dear Zindagi, if only because, how could Alia NOT fall in love with Shahrukh after spending time talking to him?  How can anyone?

It Takes a While, But There Are Consequences to Failed Films

Posted on by

Have you noticed that in Indian film, an overnight success is rare, but an overnight failure is even rarer?  It takes the slow accumulation of flop after flop after flop before there are any repercussions.  But, finally, Farhan and Katrina are feeling the burn!

Swara Bhaskar About Smita Patil and Katrina Kaif

Smita and Shabanaji were long rumored to be professional rivals, kind of a Juhi-Madhuri thing.  No personal component, I never heard about them fighting over the same man or anything like that.  But some semi-nasty remarks passed in the press.  And now, the feud continues, long after death!  I am posting about Smitaji on Shabana’s birthday.

Baar Baar Dekho Full Summary/Review!!! SPOILERS! Was That Too Much Plot or Too Little?

Posted on by

I already posted my non-spoilers review, now it’s time for the Spoilers one!  I’m going to also try to go through the whole film real quick point by point, so you can follow my reasoning even if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet.  Or if you don’t want to see it, but you want to know what happened. (second half through to the ending available here)

Mammootty’s Birthday and Shahrukh’s Dwarf Film

Posted on by

These two things have nothing in common, don’t even try to find a connection.  But moviemavengal tweeted me about Dulquer’s gift to his Dad, and another commentator pointed out that it was Mammootty’s birthday today and now I feel bad for not acknowledging it at all.  Although I did happen to post my Jagratha review today, so that’s cool!

I Saw Varun Dhawan Live!!!!!

I saw Varun Dhawan!!!  And other people were there too.  I mean, other people in the audience, it wasn’t just me and Varun alone in a room.  But also, there were other people in the show.  Only, I don’t really care about any of them.  Which is really the big news, that Varun was so clearly superior to everyone else in the Dream Team show.
