Oh boy! I haven’t down a box office run down in a few weeks, because it’s been boooooooooooring. But now Bharat is out! Excitement! (figures from bollywoodhungama)

Hindi Film 101: Salman Khan Part 4, The Hit and Run
Oh boy, another big controversial post! Or maybe not, no one is even commenting on yesterday’s post. Perhaps Salman just isn’t that controversial any more?
Continue readingFriday Classics: Baghban, A Couple Who is Supposed to be Too Old to Love
Happy Friday! No new movie today (because of Bharat) which should give us loads of time to discuss this older movie.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Salman Khan Part 4, The Abusive Boyfriend
Oh boy! The big controversial thing that is the first/only thing people think of with Salman! How fun for all of us to discuss it, and perhaps later be sued for libel.
Continue readingBharat Review (SPOILERS): Keep Hope Alive, Always
What an interesting movie! Very well done, made some surprising choices, and ended with a complicated message. Oh, and I encourage you to see the movie if you possibly can, it has something for anyone and really gives you things to think over. Read this review if you possibly can watch it, save this review here for after you watch it.
Continue readingBharat Review (No Spoilers): The Small Story of a Small Person Who Had a Good Life
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 readingHindi Film 101: Salman Khan Part 3, Why He is the Way He is, Khan-daan to Trigeminal Neuralgia
Part 3! And I might, finally, be ready to move on to Salman’s own life instead of just establishing his background and childhood. But probably not.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Salman Khan Part 2, Helen and Heartbreak and Becoming the Head of the Household
Sorry, this is more stuff that happened before Salman became famous. But it’s important! These early experiences are what define us as a person. You can’t understand Salman without understanding his family and background.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Salman Khan Part 1, Salim Khan the Motherless Boy
I just did my Hindi Film 101 on Katrina, and it got me thinking about Salman and the need to do a series on him, instead of just dancing around the details of his life. So, here is my start! Starting with his father Salim.
Continue readingNews Round-Up: Karan Interview, SRK Tweet, and Bharat Tickets
Kind of a slow news day. I decided to ignore the stories that are about people talking about other people talking about things, because I hate those stories, and just focus on the ones that are actual things.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Katrina Kaif, the Mystery Woman
I hadn’t even considered writing this post until a few days ago when somehow we started talking about her. Which is a sign of how mysterious she is, that her past is such a vast emptiness we all somehow forget it even exists. We think of her as boring bland Katrina instead of considering the amazingness of her life and existance.
Continue readingHindi Film 101 on Rape and Laws/News Round-Up Part 1: Court Cases! Rape and Fraud, and Blackbucks
So many news stories today! I’m gonna start with the two big think-y ones, the ones with massive legal implications, a rape case of a minor actor/band member (trust me, you haven’t heard of him and will have no emotional response because of fandom), and the same old Blackbuck case. And after I get this long deep boring post out of the way, I will move on to Imraan Khan getting divorced and fun stuff like that.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Salman, Aishwarya, Viviek, Primary Source Original Statements 2003
I guess Viviek just did another scummy thing using the Aish-Salman story? Not surprising, he has been breaking boundaries and making public what should be private for the past 16 years. The Viviek press conference was the start of the road that lead to what we have now with Kangana spewing hate at the world and the media gobbling it up, and believing it. NOTE ABOUT COMMENTS: This post is purposefully about 2003 and the aftermath. So ideally, any comments will place the whole situation in context of the original situation, Viviek and Salman and Aishwarya, the media, private and public divides, and abuse.

My friend who is in library school has hit an academic stumbling block, so to encourage her I thought I should do a theme post. Sexy Librarians!
Continue readingBharat Trailer and the Three Khans Playdates
Another Bharat song! Is this the last one? I think it’s the last one. Or maybe not? We’ve still got 3 weeks left, what else are they going to do if there are no more songs? Oh, and there is a super super cute news story going around about the Khans that just makes me happy and I want it to be true.
Continue readingNew Bharat Song! The Fun Sexy Wedding Song We Have Been Missing
This post comes to you from the gate at the airport as I wait for my boarding group to be called, so it will be very short. But still a nice thing for you all to talk about while I am in the air!
Continue readingNews Round-Up Part 3: PC Still Shadows Bharat, ARK Learns Martial Arts, and AB is Sick
Part 2! Not that these are less important stories, I just happened to write about them second.
Continue readingNew Bharat Song! And Bonus Aamir and a Little Girl
Happy May Day! Two laboring videos put up in honor of it, Salman and Kat’s interesting working love story, and Aamir making a tiny little girl dig dishes. Worst Babysitter EVER!
Continue readingBest/Worst Student of the Year 2 Song Releases, and Bonus Bharat Song Teaser
I don’t like this song teaser system because I feel like I should put up a thing for us to talk about it, but then I end up saying the same things about the teaser that I want to say about the full song and it is all just confusing. Luckily this time I can tuck the teaser in at the end of a post about an actual song.
Continue readingNew Bharat Song! Slow-Motion with Disha
Thank you Salman, giving me nice easy content I can throw up on the blog before running out the door to go to work.
Continue readingNew Student of the Year 2 Song! (also, Bharat teaser)
Did you know it’s also Sachin Tendulkar’s birthday? I didn’t! Sachin, my friend Dina, and Varun Dhawan. Clearly 4/24 is an auspicious day. Anyway, I don’t think the new SOTY2 song is in honor of any of them. Unless maybe Dina? She does like Tiger quite a bit.
Continue readingBharat Trailer! Salman May Have Actually Made a Good Movie
Wow. I actually got a little teary-eyed at a Salman Khan movie trailer. I’m stunned!
Continue readingTGIF: Stars as Easter Eggs in the Tall Grass
I wanted to do stars dressed as bunny rabbits, but there are shockingly few images of that. So instead I will settle for stars dropped around the grass like little Easter eggs. Can you find them all????
Continue readingUpcoming Movie News: Bharat, India’s Most Wanted, Saand Ki Aankh, I Am Disappointed in 2 of Them
Little flurry of first looks and trailers today, and instead of getting me excited for the upcoming movies, they ended up dampening my enthusiasm. Except, surprisingly, for Bharat!
Continue readingNotebook Review (SPOILERS): A Love Story That Starts With Forgiveness and Ends With Hope
Loved this movie! The more I think about it, the more I like it. Really, you should watch it. Don’t expect groundbreaking brilliance, but if you want sweet happy little stories, this would be it. And if you can see it, avoid this review and read the no spoilers review instead.
