SRK’s new movie will be directed by Atlee, a Tamil director who does great complicated fun action movies. I’ve seen three of his, and the two most recent are easily available and SUPER fun and both have Rahman scores. So we just need to choose between those two for our Sunday watch!

5 Song Sequences That Are So Illogical They Almost Ruin the Film (Yes, “Dola Re Dola”, I am looking at you)
What fun! I’m gonna criticize stuff! I almost never do that, because I like liking things. But sometimes it is okay to be mean. And I really hate Devdas.

Phew! Finally! A film doing exactly the same as it would have done last year, bring us back to “normal” instead of continuing the shocking slide downhill. (as always numbers from rentrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
New Youtube Video, Box Office
Yet another disastrous video. It’s the stupid sun! Which is not coming out any more. And the only way I can get the right kind of light is if I use sunlight. Oh well, again, the content is good even if the visuals are fuzzy.
Box Office: Kerala Arrives in the UK, Aamir Arrives Everywhere Else
Global Box Office is out! And once again, like last week, things look great everywhere but America. Stubborn Americans, we just don’t like anything. (as always, figures courtesy of Bollywoodhungama and Rentrack)

I’m back! For the SPOILER review. Which I am much less excited about than the other one, where I got to talk about the little political speeches dropped in.

New Youtube Video! Box Office
Be warned, the video quality is VERY VERY POOR. My radiators turned on, which created a persistent hiss in the background. I had to turn on a light because it was so overcast outside which gave a very odd and very unflattering light to it. But at least my voice is good and strong, so you can always hear me.
Box Office: Golmaal Fails to Golmaal, Secret Superstar Fails to Shine, Mersal is a Miracle
Well, this is the best week the box office globally has had in months. And it’s still not as good as, like, February of last year. Something is up, the numbers are just not coming back. (data as always comes from bollywoodhungama by way of Renttrak here)

Well isn’t this nice! A bunch of new trailers for me to pick over. Some with more info than others, so you will have to help me fill in the gaps in the comments.
