Did I forget yesterday? Pretty sure I forgot. Oh well, I’m having a lazy Saturday, so I will just put up three reviews today and make up. Fun fun!

Discussion Post Shahrukh Birthday Month: What Are Your Unpopular Opinions About Shahrukh?
Let’s get a conversation going! Because I was up way too late at my movie night last night (we do a zoom call post movie and just talked and talked), and now I am feeling droopy. Also, I feel like we haven’t talked in a while, let’s talk!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baadshah Ho Baadshah Baadshah Ho Baadshah, BAADSHAH!!!!!
Like Duplicate, this is a silly fun crazy movie with no depth. And therefore, a total delight!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! Three Important Polls
I like polls, but I refuse to use the polls built in tool. I want you to comment so you can say more if you like, and I can ask follow up questions, not just pick something on a list (boring!).

Second general Kuch Kuch post! Oh man, I am so happy just rereading this. KKHH is really my happy place.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! Let’s Talk GAZEBO!!!!
I haven’t done a for real review of this movie, but I did a series of theme posts a few years back on it. I’m gonna post the two most general of those posts and we will see if people care enough to inspire me to post the others.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening To The Last Week of September?
Happy Wednesday! Should that be “first week of October”? Oh well, either works I guess.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Dil Se! The Movie I Won’t Review, But I Will Tell You Why I Won’t Review It
I was dreading reviewing this movie and then I thought “well, what if I just don’t? What if instead, I explain to people why I don’t feel able to review it?”
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Duplicate! The Strangely Endearing Ugly Child
This is NOT a good movie. Sorry to everyone (including one of my closest friends) who loves it, but facts are facts. On the other hand, there are more people than you would expect who love it! Something about this bad bad movie is just strangely lovable.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Pardes! The Movie That Really Gets Going in the Second Half
This is a movie where the first/second half divide is so start, that I tell people to just start at the interval. The first half is fine, fun, a bit silly (kabaddi game!). The second half has some great internal tension between duty and love in a fascinating way.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Yes Boss! Shahrukh and Juhi, in Full Flower
There came a time in the late 90s when Shahrukh hit this string of light comedies that had a lot of darkness at the center. Odd films that flopped when they released but are fascinating rewatches.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Koyla! Best Madhuri-SRK Movie!
I love this movie! The ending is a bit weak in that kind of confused meandering way of the 90s, but otherwise, perfection!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Chaahat! Shahrukh Plays the Damsel in Distress
Such an interesting movie! Shahrukh is sexually objectified and blackmailed and powerless, just like a girl.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, English Babu Desi Mem! The Really Bad One!
A lot of these movies, I’ve seen maybe twice, most recently 2 years ago. This one, I’ve only seen once, 15 years ago. That is how bad it is. And also, how bad this review will be since I can barely remember it.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Trimurti! Anil and Jackie and Shahrukh, Oh My!!!!
This is a perfectly pleasant lessor Subhash Ghai movie which also happens to have Shahrukh in an early role. But really it’s more of a Ghai film than an SRK film, only watch if you like Ghai.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Ram-Jaane! Juhi and Shahrukh, Always the Best
This is a reposted review from Juhi Week, so it’s mostly about how great they are as a pair. An excellent reason to review the film!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Oh Darling Yeh Hai India! Shahrukh’s Weird Art Movie
I’m not particularly fond of this movie, it’s just a bit too obvious for me. But I can understand how it has a weird appeal for some of you.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Guddu! Arguably His Worst Movie! SO FUNNY!!!!!
First, warning, the Prime version of this movie cuts off a couple of significant moments including the ending, so DON’T WATCH IT THERE. You truly aren’t seeing the real movie.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Early Movies He Should Remake Now! Part 1
This is an idea from Catherine who pointed out that Koyla, for example, is ripe for a remake, all silly action and strong heroine and all that. Which made me think about how many of Shahrukh’s early films had solid original ideas at the center that could be redone now in interesting ways, for instance flipping the genders, or aging everyone up to middle-age.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Zamaana-Deewana! My Favorite of His Lessor Films!
Well, “lessor”, meaning not all time classics. It’s a pretty darn good movie, really! Or at least a fun movie.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Karan-Arjun! Part 5, Final Part
Last part! Awwww, I’m sad. It was fun having this crazy movie in pieces.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Karan-Arjun! Part 4!
Woot, second to last! Just zooming along. As is appropriate for such an entertaining fast moving movie.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Karan-Arjun! Part 3!
I am going so much faster through this movie than Baazigar! And of course there’s no comparison with how slooooooooooooow I went through JHMS, once we get there.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Karan-Arjun! Part 2!
Woo, I like these silly scene by scenes! And also the silly old school fun Shahrukh movies.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Karan-Arjun! Piece By Piece!
A very very old post! So old, I didn’t even bother fact checking and assumed this was the first SRKajol movie. But also means you get to read young happy carefree Margaret’s writing.
