It’s weird, but today is ice cream day? Even though it’s cold outside?

Discussion Post: Shahrukh’s Looking South, What Movies/Roles/Co-Stars/Directors Would You Have Him Take?
It’s Rani Week, but Shahrukh is still sticking his big fat nose in. So okay, I’ll throw up a discussion post for this.
Continue readingRani Week: Chalte Chalte! Everyone’s Favorite Rani-SRK Romance
Oh boy, my Chalte Chalte review AGAIN. I forgot, I just posted it two months ago. Oh well, we all like this movie, right? Surely we can find new things to say.
Continue readingRani Week: Sexiest Rani-SRK Songs, Ranked!
Okay, after the two warm up posts yesterday, now we have the one people will really really care about: can you rank Rani-SRK songs for sexiness?
Continue readingWhat Do We Think of Shahrukh’s Shocking New Hairstyle????
Okay, “shocking”. It’s not like he shaved his head or something. But for a man who makes half inch alterations in his style once a year for the past 25 years, it’s shocking to me!
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Historic Films I Want to See, Mohenjo Daro Rewritten, Nur Jahan and Jahinger with Shahrukh and Tabu, and Edwina and Nehru in a Mini-Series
Grand finale of Historic Films week! The Historic films I have written which are so much better than the historic films people in Hindi cinema are actually making. I didn’t get around to watching Panipat, but really, just read this instead of looking for a review of that.
Continue readingTGIF: For St. Nicholas Day, Let’s Look at Shoes!
I wish Indian films and Indian celebrities focused more on shoes. They can be such delightful works of art, but unfortunately most of the time they seem like just after thoughts to outfits.
Continue readingHistoric Films Week: Asoka, Shahrukh’s Attempt at an Epic
I just wrote this review and posted it less than 2 months ago, but in case you missed it, here it is again!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: I Got No Sleep, Expect Weird Posts
Happy Saturday! I had big plans to be productive today, and then things went kind of heywire (sp?) last night and I ended up with no sleep. So instead I am going to try to finish writing the posts I promised you, forgive any sleep deprivation weirdness, and otherwise just sit on the couch.
Continue readingSomething to Give Thanks For!!!! Shahrukh’s 18 Most Iconic Costumes, Ranked Worst to Best
Outfits! Although I am going to try to actually rank them, so that will give you something fun to argue about in the comments.
Continue reading2009 Week, Billu! Shahrukh’s Only 2009 Release
Huh, look at that, an empty year just like we had in 2019. Only in 2009, we all knew it was because he was filming that thing for Karan that would turn out to be My Name is Khan.
Continue reading2010 Discussion Post: My Name is Khan, What Made You Ugly Cry and What Made You Giggle?
Such an odd movie. I’ve yet to show it to someone who didn’t end up a sobbing broken mess by the end. Or to someone who didn’t giggle a bit at a scene here or there. The odd thing is, the “sobbing broken” moments and the “giggle” moments seem slightly different for each person.
Continue readingDiscussion Post (Remember, A Christmas Card is on the Line! COMMENT!): Rank SRK Jodis from 2010 to 2019
This should be a gimme, surely! Everyone has to have an opinion on this, right? Say something, let me know you are alive! Not that I am anyone to talk, I know what’s happening, I spent time this week buying and mailing Christmas cards and putting up decorations and so on. But still, can’t we take a little time to talk about meaningless stuff on the internet even during the holiday season?
Continue reading2010 Week! My Name is Khan, a Very Very Dark Film and a Surprisingly Good Film
This is a very good deep review that did not get many readers or comments the first time around. I’m okay if the same is true this time. It’s a dark dark movie. I don’t want DCIB to become a dark place, so if you do comment, try to find a brightness in it somewhere. For instance, “this is a dark movie, and I am so proud that Shahrukh Khan was one of the first people to speak out about Islamophobia in America”. Or just keep it superficial, “this movie is so frustrating because there is so much well done in it, but the plot just makes no sense.”
Continue readingSilly Sunday ReRun: Father Stories for my Father’s Birthday!
I am off to my father’s birthday party tonight, so no time to write a fanfic today. Instead, enjoy a rerun of father themed stories!
Continue readingJuhi and Shahrukh, the Onscreen Version of Shahrukh’s Marriage
So I was rewatching bits of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and considering how specific the Juhi-Shahrukh interactions are, especially from Shahrukh’s side, and I had a thought. And now I will look at their filmography and see if the thought I thought holds up.
Continue readingJuhi Week: Ram-Jaane, Where Juhi Was Shahrukh’s Match
I fastforwarded through this movie to remind myself what it was like, and my goodness the Boring Dude is way more boring than I remembered! Juhi makes terrible romantic decisions.
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day! Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Her Happily Cynical Take on Media
Thank goodness for Juhi Day. Through a random combination of sickness and family emergencies and conferences, my office is half-staffed today and I get to spend the day being yelled at over the phone because the person they need is not available. But Juhi always cheers me up!
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day! Darr, Her Hero Role
Forget Shahrukh, this is an amazing Juhi role and Juhi performance. She goes from feeling safe and happy, to feeling frustrated because no one respects her fears, to feeling trapped because no one is letting her confront her fears, to finally taking back the power for herself.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Juhi Chawla! This is Why You Are Awesome
It’s Juhi’s birthday today! Well, in India. November 13, and it is already after midnight there.
Continue readingFanVid Post! Because I am Traveling!
Well, this is just me being lazy! I’m traveling (driving for 6 hours, then walking around and visiting places with my Mom), so I threw this together and scheduled it in advance.
Continue readingNetflix Serieses for Shahrukh! Red Chillies, Take These Ideas Free of Charge!
Having another lazy night, eating popcorn and watching BBC mysteries while the dog sleeps. It’s one of those days where it is so cold outside that once you get inside, your body goes into hibernation mode. Anyway, this means it is a good time for me to do a nice cosy little post, the ideas we have crowdsourced for the Netflix family series that Shahrukh should make in order to have a nice work-life balance while still keeping his face in front of the world in a non-controversial way.
Continue readingTo Celebrate the End of Shahrukh Month, Shahrukh Movies Re-Written Without Shahrukh (Yes, a romance for Rani and Kajol in KKHH)
Oh boy, a totally indulgent post! I love writing fanfic, and I am having a lazy happy evening with my dog. Don’t care if none of you read this (well, I care a little bit. It makes me really happy when you comment on my fanfic, especially with your own ideas), this will just be happy for ME.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Indian Movie Character/Celebrity Do You Want as Your Boss? Or Not Want as Your Boss?
Inspired by a question from Procrastinatrix, I got to think about boss’ in Indian film. Mostly they are pretty awesome, and in fact I wouldn’t mind working for any of them!
Continue readingShahrukh Replies to Birthday Greetings! Thanks Kamal Hassan Two Times, Me Zero
I do so much for the man, and does he acknowledge it? NO! Okay, I understand that he has to thank the people he knows for real-real, but I do have that small moment of “why not me?” buried deep inside. This is probably why he spends so long thanking all those folks in just the right way.
