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 readingWell, the timing worked out perfectly on this one! I was all set to go 2-3 movies ahead to get to a Yashji film, and it turns out it was just about time for one anyway.
Continue readingThis 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 readingThere 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 readingI love this movie! The ending is a bit weak in that kind of confused meandering way of the 90s, but otherwise, perfection!
Continue readingSuch an interesting movie! Shahrukh is sexually objectified and blackmailed and powerless, just like a girl.
Continue readingA 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 readingThis 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 readingThis 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 readingI’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 readingLook at that, they had a lot of item songs! Maybe more than Shahrukh has with any other actress. I wonder why?
Continue readingSurprisingly difficult question, they had a lot of good movies together. Not always together-together, but they were both in a movie.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a rough start to the day, mostly revolving around impossible parking near my parents (stupid street sweeping). But I have hope that things will get better now.
Continue readingFirst, 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 readingThis 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 readingWell, “lessor”, meaning not all time classics. It’s a pretty darn good movie, really! Or at least a fun movie.
Continue readingLast part! Awwww, I’m sad. It was fun having this crazy movie in pieces.
Continue readingWoot, second to last! Just zooming along. As is appropriate for such an entertaining fast moving movie.
Continue readingI 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 readingWoo, I like these silly scene by scenes! And also the silly old school fun Shahrukh movies.
Continue readingA 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.
Continue readingSuch a great weird movie! Shahrukh is probably the most villainous he will ever be, absolutely no redeeming features, and Madhuri becomes as dark as he is.
Continue readingOh yeah, I’m not afraid to ask the tough questions! Sometimes multiple times, I feel like I have done a variation of this post before but I couldn’t confirm in the archives, so I am going ahead with it!
Continue readingSuch a good movie! And such a light happy movie too, I just love it, maybes you smile all day just thinking about it.
Continue readingI certainly enjoy Deewana and Chamatkar and Baazigar, but they aren’t like high quality deep classic things. Darr though, Darr is CLASSIC. A brilliant consideration of women’s powerlessness in the face of men who want to “rescue” her or “protect” her.
