Shahrukh Summer/Happy Birthday Kareena: Which is Your Favorite Kareena-Shahrukh Song?
They are an okay onscreen couple, although I still find them more like brother and sister than a romantic couple. However, they are really well-matched in songs! Both with moderate dancing ability but a lot of hard work and energy onscreen.
Continue readingFriday Classics: Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, an Anti-Capitalist Comedy
What a happy movie! What a fun happy movie! I had forgotten how good it was until I rewatched it, and it is really really good. One of those movies that had modest ambitions and accomplished them.
Continue readingTGIF: Rugby Themed, Shahrukh Versus Hrithik
Rugby! It’s like football, but less safe! And, the uniforms have less padding so show off more of your body.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! What Kind of Pirate Would Shahrukh Be?
I was going to do something like translating famous Shahrukh lines of dialogue into pirate talk, but that seemed hard. So instead, let us just consider the many kinds of pirates and which kind Shahrukh would be, were he to be a pirate.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Shahrukh in Husband Roles, Which Would You Marry, Divorce, or Leave at the Alter?
This is a variation on a previous post, but in that case I was leaving it open to all Shahrukh roles. Now I am limiting it to just the ones where he actually played a husband so we have a clear comparison. And also to help alert you all to this post from late last night where I discussed Shahrukh as a husband on film.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Shahrukh and Marriage and the Householder Role
Let’s see if I can manage a thinky post after two days of light non-thinky posts. Fingers crossed!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Rank Shahrukh’s Uniform Roles
Ready for a shallow shallow post? Of the few times Shahrukh has appeared onscreen in uniform, which is the best uniform?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Rank His Hair! Best to Worst
I feel this is a completely appropriate topic, because hair is a created art form (your stylist takes what you have and changes it), so we can rank his hair as much as we might rank his performances or his clothing styles. Right? It’s not unfair objectification? Oh well, maybe it is, but it’s fun!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Directors Week: What One Time Director Do We Want to See SRK Work With Again?
I already did a “favorite SRK director” post, this is a little more specific. Shahrukh has worked with a lot of directors only once, which one of them do we want to see him with again (excepting the ones who are dead)?
Continue readingTGIF/Shahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Through the Years, 23 to 53
This would really make more sense as a Birthday Month post, but oh well, it occurred to me today.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Which Shahrukh Movies Would You Change?
Again, this is one of those posts that acknowledges not all Shahrukh movies are perfect. We are all cool with that, right? I’m not gonna get angry threats on twitter like I did that one time? Okay, good.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Favorite Era of Shahrukh Films
I just wrote a truly brilliant post (here), one of those rare amazing ones, and now my brain is dead. So I will offer up a brain dead post as filler, and return to my beloved SRK.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Ranbir Hate Week: Which Ranbir Role Would You Give to Shahrukh?
Oo oo! Combined theme post! Love and hate, brought together in one discussion post.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Which is the Worst, Dilwale-Happy New Year-Zero?
Oh boy, you ready to get HEATED? We all know that Shahrukh did a few films that were not so great in the past few years. But which is the worst of them all?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Lifehacks for Bad SRK Movies
Oops, I forgot, the last time I put up a post implying the existence of “bad” SRK movies, I got a lot of anger on twitter. But you all understand, right? I can love the man and still hate some of the movies?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Discussion Post for Director’s Week, Rank Shahrukh’s Directors
This is the kind of thing that fans can talk about long into the night and no one else cares about. Which of Shahrukh’s directors is his best collaborator?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: All Shahrukh Goofy Songs
The is broken in my office AGAIN so it is 1 million degrees and my brain has melted. Sorry, I hate complaining all the time about this, but it is literally making me ill and having a big effect on my blogging abilities. So no deep thought post, big silly post that requires minimal thought instead. I’m gonna go through Shahrukh’s filmography and pull out every single goofy song. And you all get to decide which one of them is the most happy making!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Marry-Date-Avoid, Shahrukh Professions
Ready for a silly post? Of course you are! It’s a holiday (at least in America), we aren’t supposed to be thinking.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, For Labor Day, A Film Where Our Hero Has an Actual Job
Such a great movie! Largely because it feels like a story of real people, and part of that is because they have real jobs.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Silly Sunday: Tweed and Sweaters Romance for Saif and Shahrukh, Middle-Aged Rediscovering the Spark Comedy for Boman and Shahrukh, Fun Wedding Farce for Shahrukh and Ayushmann Khurrana
I love it when you inspire me in the comments! I always come up with much better stories based on your ideas than I do on my own. Anyway, these are from the comments on the “what actor does Shahrukh have the most chemistry with?” post.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte Annotated
Thank you Emily for the suggestion! This is the perfect song to do a lazy Saturday when I don’t want to think that much.
Continue readingTGIF/Shahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Versus The World
You ready for me to make your life VERY HARD? I’m going to do a series of match ups and, for at least one, you have to choose someone who is not Shahrukh.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Brief “Hawayein” Analysis
This is a little treat for those of you who like this kind of thing, a deep intense consideration of a small moment of SRK screen time.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Songs in Which He Gazes Longingly At the Heroine
I’m not messing around, I went to his full filmography and pulled out every song that evokes that “I desire you like oxygen but do not feel worthy to do more than gaze at you” feeling.
