Just felt like putting up a happy songs post! And the first two I thought of had two couples in them, so I am running with that.

Happy International Women’s Day! Another International Woman, Helen!
I wrote this as part of my series on Salman Khan, but I’m gonna rewrite and refocus it a bit to give Helen the spotlight she deserves.
Continue readingSunday Rerun: Maine Pyar Kiya! For Bhagyashree’s Birthday!
Oops, this isn’t actually a rerun! I thought I had reviewed it, but I had just hosted a tweetalong viewing which isn’t the same thing. So let me quickly right this review.
Continue readingTwo Kinds of Fandom, Another Not Conclusive Thinky Post
Again, I don’t necessarily have a conclusion for this, it is just the beginning of thoughts and I’m not sure where they should be going. But there is such a nice interesting discussion going on the last thinky post on stardom, that I want to keep the thinking going.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Preity Zinta, “the Only Man in Bollywood”
If you have been following Indian film for the past 20 years or so, that headline will make total sense to you. If you have not, then I will explain below. It’s FASCINATING.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Notebook, the Most Delightful Romance of 2019
This is such a delightful little surprise of a movie! I really hope a lot of you were able to watch it. And if you weren’t, put it on your list to watch soon, because it is really wonderful.
Continue reading2010s Post: Best/Worst Salman Khan Film of the Decade Poll Post!
I am so enjoying these “decade” posts, because I can do big simple categories and there are still enough options to make it interesting. If I were doing “best/worst Salman Khan Film of 2019”, it would just be between two, and that is boring.
Continue reading2010s Award: Hottest Old Man of the Decade, Shahrukh or Hrithik or Anil?
You know who’s hot? Men who act their age. You know what’s NOT hot? Men who dye their hair and wear cool clothes and jump around like they are half their age. But, in the 2010s, who were the HOTTEST old men?
Continue readingTGIF: Happy Birthday Salman Khan! A Lot of Your Photos Make Me Smile
Love him, hate him, at least you have to appreciate the humor of these images! Well, they make me laugh, even if no one else is amused.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Salman! Lowkey Celebration This Year, Just a List of Your Best Songs
Happy Birthday Salman! Poor Salman, almost a Christmas baby, tends to get lost in the holiday shuffle. I’m worn out and still have more family events to go to, so I am going to slack on him this year too. At least I will hope for a celebration in the comments with the rest of you chiming in with songs I missed.
Continue readingChristmas Week: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo! A Happy Film for the Whole Family
This is a movie I like more and more as time goes on. It’s happy, it’s loving, and bright colored and cheerful. It’s also completely illogical, but that doesn’t really matter.
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 readingDabangg 3 Review (SPOILERS): Sudeep Versus Salman, Plus a LOT of Filler
If you watched the trailer and thought “I think I can guess the entire plot of this movie”, you are correct! You can guess the entire plot of the movie. But if you watched the trailer and thought “I’m not sure, I want to see it and see what happens”, or if you skipped the trailer entirely, you can skip this review too and just read the “no spoilers” version instead.
Continue readingDabangg 3 Review (No Spoilers): Salman and Prabhudeva Are an Odd Mixture!
I saw it! 1:45pm show, me and 3 other people in the theater, and I kept falling asleep. No slight on the movie, just because I was in a warm dark quiet empty theater, and it’s been a long week.
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 readingChristmas Week: Hum Saath Saath Hain, the Ramayana in Bright Colors
I thought I’d reviewed this movie, but I’d just hosted a tweetalong. Oh well, I am sure I can zip out some kind of a review in no time.
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 readingRani Week: Best Rani Songs With Salman, Ranked! (I Defy You to Watch the Top Song and Not Fall A Little Bit in Love With Them)
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.
Continue reading2010 Week: Dabangg!!!! 2010 Goes Out With a Surprisingly Progressive BANG!
This movie really really holds up. It’s a silly action film and it isn’t ashamed of that, but it also talks about caste, Polio, political use of religion, and other serious things that most films don’t discuss.
Continue readingTrailers! If My Other Options are Panipat, Tanhaji, and Sarileru Neekevvaru, Suddenly Dabangg 3 Looks Great
I just can’t do it. I CAN’T! I refuse to watch any more violent patriotic films. Go somewhere else for a review of Panipat and Tanhaji and probably Sarileru, or else just pretend they don’t exist like I will. I’m going to spend December and January staying home and watching movies from the early 2000s. Join me! Oh, and also Dabangg 3 which has suddenly become the only movie coming to theaters I actually want to watch.
Continue readingFriday Classics: Jeet, All the Best Things of the 90s
SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!!!! If you like that kind of thing. If I say that the finale has a woman giving birth in a burning house in the middle of a gunfight, does that make you happy or sad? What if I tell you that they all escape the burning house into a burning car in which there is a high speed chase and explosion while she is STILL giving birth? And it ends at a brothel where prostitutes serve as helpful midwives? Is your response “that is so illogical it makes me angry” or “that is so illogical it makes me happy”?

This will either turn out to be way too many on this list, or way too few. I really have no idea until I get started! Oh, and it’s definitely not a countdown, that would be impossible. These are all tied in my heart.
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 readingShahrukh Summer/Silly Sunday: A Movie For Nisha/Karisma in Dil To Pagal Hai
Poor Nisha/Karisma! So much more interesting than “just” a third leg of a triangle should be. She deserves a happy ending, right?
Continue readingInshallah is Delayed Days-Weeks-Unscheduled Time Ahead of Filming
What a weird story! I don’t think there is any big secret scandal to be unearthed here (except for my personal and almost certainly inaccurate crazy theory), but it is interesting to discuss because there is so much history and backstory and at the same time, so much unknown.
