I originally wrote this post for Preity’s birthday, and I still think it is a great unusual role for her, but Rani’s role and performance is pretty good too!

Rani Week: Hichki! Rani’s Safe Return to the Screen
Second to last review of Rani Week! Her most recent film, which was….fine. Not a groundbreaking message, not really worth a rewatch, but fairly painless for one watch in theaters and Rani is still charming.
Continue readingRani Week Friday Classics: Mardaani 1 Before Mardaani 2
I’m telling you know, I’m not seeing/reviewing Mardaani 2. It’s dark and blech and I would rather see Mammootty’s new movie if I only have time for one movie. But you can read my review of Mardaani 1 instead!
Continue readingRani Week: Talaash! Rani and Aamir’s Last Great Collaberation
Rani is technically just a supporting character, but her role is the secret motive and power and goal of the hero. It’s a fascinating kind of role, she has to be isolated from the rest of the plot, but at the same time not isolated, since her reactions drive Aamir in everything he does for the rest of the plot. It’s her sadness, happiness, strength, sorrow, and so on, that make Aamir angry, confused, dedicated and so on.

I can’t really think of a time that Rani and Salman were “sexy” together, but they have had a lot of really great dance numbers! Especially the last song on this list, you can skip the rest, but give yourself the joy of watching that one.

Oh boy, my Chalte Chalte review AGAIN. I forgot, I just posted it two months ago. Oh well, we all like this movie, right? Surely we can find new things to say.

Happy Wednesday! Still a weird long week for me, but I’m plugging along and getting through it. Thank goodness for the Rani reposts.
Continue readingRani Week! Aiyyaa, My Favorite Rani Performance!
I’ve been thinking about it as we go through Rani Week, and I think this is my favorite performance from her. It’s not showy, and it’s not her usual Type A heroine, it’s something different but charming. And I don’t think any other actress could make it work.

This is one of my all time favorite movies, thrilled to have an excuse to repost this review!
Continue readingRani Week: Sexiest Rani-SRK Songs, Ranked!
Okay, after the two warm up posts yesterday, now we have the one people will really really care about: can you rank Rani-SRK songs for sexiness?
Continue readingRani Week: Ghulam! Rani’s First Movie, and a Really Really Good Film
I really love this movie. It was one of the early films I saw, one of the first movies I watched where I was told “this is an actual good movie”. And it is! It is an actual good movie! Not just a fun romance with something deep down below, but deep straight through.
Continue readingSexiest Songs, Rani Alone
For a respectable actress, Rani has done a fair number of songs that show off her sexiness as a solo person. Not item songs exactly, more songs where we are watching her from the perspective of the hero and desiring her.
Continue readingRani Week! Rank Her Sexiest Songs With Aamir
This was going to be a post of “Rani’s sexiest songs”, but she has been in WAY too many sexy songs. So instead I am limiting to Rani-Aamir only, and will probably do Rani-Shahrukh and Rani-Abhishek and Rani-Everyone Else so on later.
