I’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!

News Round-Up: Nawazuddin’s Brother is an Even Worse Person, Katrina is Making The Best Movie, Salman’s Next Sounds Fun
Fun news stories today! A big deal gossip story, plus promotions for two upcoming films in the future that both sound GREAT!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Finish TV Shows!
I’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 readingDiscussion Post: What Not Very Talented Actor Do We Irrationally Like?
I 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 readingDiscussion Post: What Actor and Actress Should Win “Most Improved”? Who Should NOT???
I 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 readingTalent of the 2010s, Female Edition, Sonam to Sara
I 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 readingSilly Sunday: Fedora Anushka and Sundress Kat Lesbian Love Story, Help Me Workshop This!
I 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 readingSilly Sunday: Little Women as a Dark Romantic Drama! Laurie is Evil and Amy is Gay
Thanks 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 readingChristmas Week! Bharat, Family and Love and Sacrifice Through the Years
What 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 readingChristmas Week Bonus Review! Baar Baar Dekho, Because it is Love and Magic and Just Hit Netflix
Watch 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 readingHindi Film 101 Repost: Katrina Kaif, Mystery Woman
I 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 readingZindagi Na Milegi Dobara: The Loneliness of Masculinity
Thank 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 readingRepost: Intro to 7 Actresses And the Phases of Their Career
This 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 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 readingDaily Hrithik Shipping Post: What Other Films Has He Had Chemistry With His Co-Stars?
Sorry Tiger, I’m dropping you. Ultimately you just aren’t that interesting. But let us take a look back at Hrithik without Tiger and with someone else. What other films has he managed to create similar chemistry with his co-stars?

It’s the Jewish New Year, and the calendar New Year is coming in a couple months. What do we want from 2020 in Indian film?
Continue readingSunday Rerun: Bang Bang, I Hope “War” is Half as Good
I love this movie so much. To a really unreasonable degree. I can justify it as a fun entertaining film, I can’t exactly justify my blind passion for it above all other films. Oh well, the heart wants what the heart wants.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Bharat! The Best Salman-Katrina Movie Yet
What 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.
Continue readingRanbir Hate Week Rolls On! Remember When I Was Really Really Mean About Jagga Jasoos?
Why is it so joyful to beat up Ranbir? I just don’t know! Is he a symbol of all indulged Indian men in the world? Or do we hate him just for himself? Does it really matter? Anyway, here is a review of his one and only movie as a producer which I hated very very much and which he produced so terribly he literally ended a studio (UTV, RIP). The paragraph where I rip into Ranbir is in bold.
Continue readingInstagram Update: Harsh Huh, Kat Cute, Patralekha Pyaari
My office is both extremely hot (the heater is malfunctioning) and busy (so many phone calls!), so I’m not even gonna do a real news analysis post. On the other hand, lots to discuss from Instagram! Well, lots of shallow image based gossip to discuss.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Happy Day After Katrina’s Birthday! Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Her Less Good Shahrukh Movie
This is nice, I can do a repost for both Shahrukh Summer and Katrina’s birthday. And we can consider how we all feel about this movie, still as passionate as before or has time weakened the pain?
Continue readingHappy Birthday Katrina! (A Little Late) Let’s Look at Your Best Songs and Pick Our Favorites!
Oops, missed this! Oh well. In her honor today I will put up this post, and some selected Katrina reviews.

I love this movie so much. To a really unreasonable degree. I can justify it as a fun entertaining film, I can’t exactly justify my blind passion for it above all other films. Oh well, the heart wants what the heart wants.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Baar Baar Dekho! Let’s Look At the Last Time Sid Did a Rom-Com
I really need to rewatch this movie. I think I might like it a lot better knowing where it is going. And I already liked it a decent amount. It wasn’t great, but it was far from terrible. Oh, and it’s on Amazon Prime! So you should all watch it. Oh, and watch out, I had a lot of time the week this released so I did a full scene by scene discussion. VERY LONG.
Continue readingBharat Review (SPOILERS): Keep Hope Alive, Always
What an interesting movie! Very well done, made some surprising choices, and ended with a complicated message. Oh, and I encourage you to see the movie if you possibly can, it has something for anyone and really gives you things to think over. Read this review if you possibly can watch it, save this review here for after you watch it.
