Valentines 90s Week of Romance!!! Sleepless in Seattle and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the Same Story Told Different
Woot! It’s 90s week!!!! Gotta start with the two most significant romances of the 90s, Sleepless in Seattle and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Yes, HAHK and DDLJ were more important films in general, and When Harry Met Sally is more influential, but these two movies were the biggest romantic hits of the decade, the ones that you pull out when you just want to swoon over love and not worry about anything else.

For your enjoyment, I have dug out the bestest Indian film based Bernie Memes! And now our job is to decide which is BEST. (and thank you Patricia Merry for alerting me to the existence of these)

Thank you TownsandTulips! This is such a great interesting question! At least, it is interesting to me, hopefully to other people too.

Happy Halloween! I have my spooky Halloween earrings on, my coffee, and I’ve walked the dog. Let’s do this!
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong on Saturday! 7:30am Chicago time! KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI!!!!
Yaaaay! Saturday morning Halloween/Shahrukh’s Birthday Watchalong! And we are going to do an all time SRK classic, WITH GHOSTS!!!!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! Three Important Polls
I like polls, but I refuse to use the polls built in tool. I want you to comment so you can say more if you like, and I can ask follow up questions, not just pick something on a list (boring!).
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! Let’s Talk GAZEBO!!!!
I haven’t done a for real review of this movie, but I did a series of theme posts a few years back on it. I’m gonna post the two most general of those posts and we will see if people care enough to inspire me to post the others.
Continue readingKaran Johar Coda: What Would Happen in Karan Johar Movies if Women Were Brave Enough to Say What They Think?
You thought we were done with Karan Johar, didn’t you? But no! I have one more thing to say that occurred to me while we were doing our Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham watch. And this thing will also, once again, give me a chance to rewrite the endings of Karan Johar movies which is my favorite thing of course.
Continue readingKaran Johar and Parents: Is It All About Love, or Is It All About Making Them Happy at the Expense of Yourself?
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 readingKuch Kuch Hota Hai Day! Grand Finale, GAZEBO SCENE!!!!!
Woo-hoo! Everyone’s favorite scene! And the post where I get to tie it all together and talk about soulmates and love triangles and stuff.
Continue readingAlternate Kuch Kuches: Little Anjali and Salman Romance, Shahrukh Falls in Love With Someone Else Instead of Kajol, Shahrukh is Bi and Kajol is a Man
Is “kuch kuches” the plural, do we think? Or is “kuch kuchi” better? I’ll leave it like this, but feel free to weigh in with your thoughts in the comments!
Continue readingKuch Kuch Hota Hai Day! Let’s Talk COSTUMES!!!!
The 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 readingKuch Kuch Hota Hai Day! Rahul, the Character Who Loves Everyone
Finally Shahrukh! Good character, good performance, not nearly as interesting to talk about as everyone else. At least, I think so.
Continue readingKuch Kuch Hota Hai, Aman! The Perfect Other Man!
What Karan did that was quietly radical is make the fiance plot conflict into a really nice guy. There is nothing wrong with Salman in KKHH, in fact he is a better option for Kajol than Shahrukh. And yet it is still a love triangle and a tragedy.
Continue readingKuch Kuch Hota Hai Day! The Tragedy of Tina
Next most interesting character, Tina! Really it is the women who are original and new and different in this film, Shahrukh’s hero is good, but not quite so spectacular.
Continue readingHappy Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Day! Starting With Character Posts, Anjali!!!!
I forgot about this, I wrote a whole bunch of specific KKHH analysis posts. We had such fun watching it together on Saturday night, and it’s Karan Johar week, so I thought I would put them up again.
Continue readingKaran Johar Battle of the Champions: Bangle Scene Versus Gazebo Scene
This 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 readingKaran Johar Week Discussion Post: Which is His Sexiest Couple?
We 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 readingWatch Kuch Kuch Hota Hai With Me in 3.5 Hours!!!!
No idea if this will work, but why not! I’ll be awake, I love Kuch Kuch, if you are also awake and love KKHH, you should watch it with me. And if you live in international zones, I may possible send you an email to make sure you see the scheduling. Not in a creepy way (I hope), but in a helpful way.
Continue readingIf I Watch Kuch Kuch Hota Hai at Midnight Chicago Time Tonight, Could Anyone Join Me?
I’m having a weird weekend/day, and I’m thinking about staying up very late tonight (plus thunderstorms tonight which are going to keep me up late). Most importantly, I just learned Popka has never seen KKHH!!!! Can you imagine?????
Continue readingKaran Johar Week: Let’s Rank Karan Johar Songs!
Woo-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 reading10 Days of Christmas Movies! Why Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is the Perfect Family Movie
This is the post I wrote about why Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is meaningful to me, and it inspired many lovely comments from other people telling their own stories. There’s something about this film that inspires warmth and friendship and community and joy in a way that is very Christmas-y.
Continue readingTo Celebrate the End of Shahrukh Month, Shahrukh Movies Re-Written Without Shahrukh (Yes, a romance for Rani and Kajol in KKHH)
Oh boy, a totally indulgent post! I love writing fanfic, and I am having a lazy happy evening with my dog. Don’t care if none of you read this (well, I care a little bit. It makes me really happy when you comment on my fanfic, especially with your own ideas), this will just be happy for ME.
Continue readingMonth of SRK: 8 SRK Movies To Learn His Life Story
Thanks for the suggestion Emily! Shahrukh (as most celebrities/actors do) has used his real life trauma to support his performances and promote his films. Which also means we can easily find 8 movies to watch if you want to get a sense of the emotional journey of the “real” SRK!
