First, I have to share that I couldn’t remember the title. So I had to search youtube by “Anil Kapoor Trailer”. Because in my head, it is an Anil movie! Everyone else is just filler.
Continue readingThis should be a fun one! A nice light comedy about a middle aged couple trying to buy a car.
Continue readingIt’s a fun birthday week this week! Zayed Khan, Revathi, and Neetu Singh, all of whom were part of small pleasant happy films that are just prime options for a Friday Watchalong. Or, alternatively, we could watch something complete different! I am open to suggestions! Is this finally the week for Ohm Shaanti Oshaana?
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am up at the family lake house again, it’s a million billion degrees outside, but I get this afternoon off and I am going to drink iced tea and read my book on the screen porch.
Continue readingI already wrote my farewell post to Rishi, what he meant to me, but I want to put together a post about Rishi the person. As a Kapoor, we (the public) know a remarkable amount about him personally, and Rishi in interviews and his memoir has made even more available. I’m not going to try to rake up scandal or demonize him, but I want to do my best to give a fair and balanced look at the life of this man we have just lost.

Continue readingI got sick, so things got a bit backed up and I had to move a few things around. And therefore, Friday classics on Saturday!
I’m excited about this! In spitballing back and forth in the comments on last week’s post (which was more about Christmas as a festival of lights and social experience and sexy holiday romance), it was suggested that I should just do the whole story. And I think I can! If I break it into 3 bits.
2 weeks into my new series, and I am getting decent views and comments. Yay! I will tentatively continue. In case you are new to this, the idea is that if you didn’t grow up surrounded by Hindi film, it can be hard to learn all the things that small children in India just know by osmosis. And so I am giving you a little “101” course on the things you need to learn. Kind of a follow up on the basic grounding I gave in my book. (part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here) Starting with the Kapoors, because where else?
