Silly post, unrelated to the Female Film theme, but I feel like we need silliness in our lives. Let’s compare old-young SRK photos and pick which is best!
Continue readingSorry, I know about half of my readers are not fluent Hindi speakers. I’m certainly not one either. But I am going to scramble in the dark and pick out the songs that, even with my small amount of Hindi knowledge, I can still enjoy as poetry. And as a special treat, I am posting translations for them all! Isn’t that fun?
Continue readingIt’s rainy and tired and bleh here today, so I am going to use my energies wisely and create a post of every single rain song in Shahrukh’s entire career. For The Good of Humanity.
Continue readingI had a 7am phone call at work this morning, meaning I left home at 6:30am, meaning I am not thinking super straight right now and deep thinking is not going to be happening today. So I’m gonna start off a Shahrukh discussion post and hope you all can think for me.
Continue readingThis idea comes courtesy of Emily who requested a fun silly adventure where Tabu gets into wacky scraps and Shahrukh has to keep rolling his eyes and then coming in and rescuing her. And then she wrote a fantastic multi-starrer herself and let me add in a tiny bit myself. Oh, and we both ended up casting Saif, which is perfect since it was his birthday last week!
Continue readingThis is a follow up on yesterday’s excellent post. I sent it off to my Professionally Queer friend (drag king, works at a queer history museum) for analysis which lead to a discussion of whether any of those photos could legitimately be considered “Leather Daddy” or not.
Continue readingI felt kind of silly doing this post after I JUST did that post of Shahrukh in leather. But then, it’s not like my audience will run out of Shahrukh interest, right? And why put off for tomorrow joy we can feel today?
Continue readingWhat a wonderful holiday this is! And what a very silly reason for a post. Oh well, I’m doing all kinds of deep posts on the NRI experience and stuff, it’s okay to be silly.
Continue readingWhy does no one love Bend It Like Beckham???? It’s the perfect movie! And yet, no comments on the post. Oh well, I will put up another Shahrukh discussion post because at least those are easy to get a conversation going and I love talking to you all.
Continue readingHappy Sunday! This is a silly silly post, and a lazy post. I’m not writing the ending for these, you get to!
Continue readingPretty sure this is feminist and empowering and not, you know, bad. But even if it is bad, sometimes it’s good to be bad.
Continue readingHave I reviewed Main Hoon Na? I can’t remember. I know I did Om Shanti Om because Farah re-tweeted my review and that was cool. And I know I HAVEN’T done this movie, because I made a mental note that I hadn’t reviewed it a few months back. Anyway, I already reviewed a fascinating groundbreaking risky sexy feminist film Paap, today I will review a big dumb fun hit film with a neutral to anti-feminist message. Let’s see which gets more attention!
Continue readingShahrukh is out of hiding! Yaaaaay! For another one of those pleasant events he has been doing, mature and international and where he is respected. I have no real “news” to report, it’s just a bunch of fun photos and instagram videos. But I thought I would put up a space for us all to share and discuss the fun photos and instagram stuff.
Continue readingI really like Vaibhavi Merchant. Partly because she has such a great name (really, say it out loud, doesn’t it sound nice?), but also because she makes really interesting song sequences that aren’t just about the dance but tell a whole little story. Oh, and also because she has a great professional website that lists out every song she has done, so I can actually post every single collaboration with Shahrukh.
Continue readingObviously I am not going to post every single Farah-Shahrukh song, that would be impossible. But I will post a selection and you can use your brains to remember any others that you want to suggest.
Continue readingOh boy, this should be fun! I feel like maybe we did it already at some point, but even if we did, it is worth revisiting.
Continue readingLast Kuch Kuch post! Sad for those of you who love Kuch Kuch, happy for those of you who are sick of it.
Continue readingI left work early on Friday and just came home and spent the weekend watching TCM. So many fun obscure movies that we could remake!
Continue readingTime to talk characters! I could easily write a post on everyone in this film from Jonny Lever to the star counting kid. But I’m gonna limit myself to the main three, Tina yesterday, Rahul today, and Anjali as the grand finale.
Continue readingThis is a silly silly post. But I find Shahrukh in hats hilarious! And it’s Friday, why not have a laugh.
Continue readingYou ready to make an objective judgement? We already had the “which Shahrukh do you want to marry” question a while back (which descended in to anarchy once the element of money/house was added, we all want the Goa house). No, this is purely objectively looking at his behavior as a life partner, in which film is he the BEST life partner?
Continue readingThis is so strange, I swear that when I was in college every single girl I knew was obsessed with KKHH, like the way we are with JHMS now. What has happened in the years since that it doesn’t inspire discussion? Anyway, I am still obsessed with it and can’t stop writing. Which is part of the reason I avoided writing about it because I knew I would get really detailed past the point of interest for anyone else.
Continue readingThis is going to be a lot of personal stuff, get ready for that! But also it might help you understand why, for the particular moment in time and the particular generation I am and all the rest, Kuch Kuch is still so important.
Continue readingI can’t believe how few people have commented on yesterday’s Kuch Kuch post! Oh well, they make me happy, so I will keep going. And this one I find really fun!
Continue readingNiki suggested that instead of trying to cover everything in KKHH in one huge post, I break it down into certain themes or elements. I like that! And the first theme that I find interesting is tied up in everyone’s favorite scene, the Gazebo moment.
