Thank goodness for Shahrukh summer! I have had a weird bad day that started with a nightmare about brownies and Marie Curie, and ended with a boat in the middle of the road blocking my route home from work. So now I am going to do a silly silly post.

Silly Sunday/Shahrukh Summer: Count of Monte Cristo Part 2
Indulge me, I like this plot. And I know at least one or two of you are reading it. The rest of you can just ignore it and let us be happy. Oh, and here’s part 1.
Continue readingSilly Sunday/Shahrukh Summer: Shahrukh as The Count of Monte Christo!
Do you start craving sandwiches when you read that title? Or is it just me? Anyway, this is a suggestion from sartrekid and I think it is a great idea! (part 2 here)
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Old Versus Young, Songs Edition!
Reflects on Life pointed out on yesterday’s post that it really wasn’t fair because still photos don’t completely convey everything. So, songs! Do you prefer young and hyperactive SRK, or old and slow moving?
Continue readingTGIF/Shahrukh Summer: 2000s or Today, Which Do You Prefer?
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 readingShahrukh Summer: In Honor of Khayyam and Poetry Day Yesterday, His Most Poetic Songs
Sorry, 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 readingShahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Rain Songs! Which is the Best One?
It’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 readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Which Movie Roles From Other Actors Would We Like to See Him Play?
I 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 readingTGIF: Shahrukh Summer, a Quiz, Leather Daddy or Dad Wearing Leather?
This 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 readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: New Shahrukh Ad, For Happiness
I 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 readingShahrukh Summer: Happy Leatherworkers Day! Let’s Look at Shahrukh in Leather
What 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 readingShahrukh Summer/NRI Week: Which Shahrukh NRI Character’s Life Do You Want to Steal?
Why 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 readingShahrukh Summer: Marry-Sex-Kill, Non-NRI Characters
This doesn’t really match the theme week, but we had so much fun with this discussion yesterday, I feel like I have to give you the other side of it.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/NRI Week: Which Shahrukh Characters Most Would Benefit From Leaving India?
If Hindi film is going to torture me with ten million flagwaving movies, I am going to fight back by honestly talking about how some characters would just be better off overseas.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Theme Week Discussion Post: Marry-Sex-Kill, all Shahrukh NRI Characters
This is NRI week, the week when we celebrate stories of Indians happily living overseas. So, let’s look at Shahrukh’s NRI characters!
Continue readingWomen Directors Week: Happy New Year, The Potato Chip Bag of Movies
Have 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 Summer Discussion Post: Melbourne Film Festival Chat Space!
Shahrukh 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 readingShahrukh Summer/Women Directors Week: Which is Shahrukh’s Best Saroj Khan Song?
Last one! And also the first one. Saroj begat Farah who begat Vaibhavi. And all three women helped turn non-dancing SRK into someone who can at least athletically fake his way through things.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Women Directors Week: Which is Shahrukh’s Best Vaibhavi Merchant Song?
I 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 readingShahrukh Summer/Women Directors Week: What is the Best Shahrukh-Farah Song?
Obviously 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 readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Rank Shahrukh’s Heroines!
Oh 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 readingShahrukh Summer: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Anjali the Protagonist
Last Kuch Kuch post! Sad for those of you who love Kuch Kuch, happy for those of you who are sick of it.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Week, The 4 Loves of Rahul
Time 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 readingTGIF: Shahrukh Summer, Shahrukh Hats
This is a silly silly post. But I find Shahrukh in hats hilarious! And it’s Friday, why not have a laugh.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: In What Movie Was He the Best Husband/Boyfriend/Partner? In Which the Worst?
You 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?
