This 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.

Shahrukh Summer: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Post, Why Does it Mean So Much to Some People?
This 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 readingShahrukh Summer: Alternative Universe Kuch Kuch Hota Hais, What Would Have Happened if….?
I 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 readingShahrukh Summer: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Lovers and Soulmates, and the Importance of the Gazebo Scene
Niki 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.
Continue readingSilly Sunday/Shahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Which Classic Film Do We Most Want to See Him Remake?
Do you realize this entire weekend has been Shahrukh-less? That cannot stand! I must throw something together!
Continue readingTGIF/Shahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Smiles
This isn’t going to be nearly as good as yesterday’s post, but then what could be? Anyway, let’s compare and contrast Shahrukh’s various smile options!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Which is Our Favorite Real Life Outfit?
You ready for tricky choices? We already discussed his best costumes, but which is his best real life outfit?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What Fictional Detective Do We Most Want Him to Play? Sherlock Holmes, Columbo, or Other?
Another lazy discussion post, but hopefully one that some of you can leap in and join the discussion. Shahrukh doesn’t really have a solid “mystery” in his filmography, and I think he would be great playing the detective role, especially now that he is too old to play the young hero.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Completely Silly Discussion Post, Which Classic Novel Hero Most Fits Shahrukh?
I was going to write a really good interesting post today, and then my work computer decided to reboot with updates for 2 hours which killed my writing time. So instead you have to be happy with this completely silly narrow casting post. For those of you who are passionately in love with classic English novels, and also Shahrukh.
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: Sex and Power Plots for SRK
This is just total indulgence for me. As a thought experiment, I want to continue my discussion of sex and power and class from these two posts and see if I can come up with new SRK plot ideas that continue to explore them.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Battle of the Cameos! Which is Your Favorite?
You ready to prove your TruFan status? This is a “best of” post not for the weak or faint of heart. I’m not talking the full fledged small roles (Saathiya, Shakti, Hey Ram, etc.), I’m talking about the 5 minutes or less one scenes. Most people haven’t seen one of them, let alone all of them. Heck, I haven’t seen all his cameos! Just the ones listed below.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Thought Post: Sex, Power, and Romance
I had another thought! Well actually, Rachel had a thought on this post and I replied to it, and then I kept on thinking. Anyway, thoughts! About sex! And also power and romance.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Why Has He Gotten Sexier as He Has Gotten Older?
You ready to put on your thinking caps? This is a question that has puzzled the global community for years, but I have faith in the power of crowdsourcing, I believe our team of experts can answer this underlying Question of the Universe. Just like genome code mapping.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Friday Classic: Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Shahrukh as the Loser Protagonist
This is one of Shahrukh’s earliest roles, and one he consistently lists as a film and a performance he is most proud of. But, why?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Most Romantic Shahrukh Scene, What is Your Choice?
I put up two really really good posts discussing Shahrukh’s appeal in a broader sense, but those aren’t garnering many comments. I choose to think because they are so brilliant no one has anything to say in response. So now I am going to put up a totally silly post on which all of us should have an opinion.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Princess and Pauper Shahrukh Romances, Why So Many?
I has another thought! And I think it is a good thought, but maybe you will disagree. Or maybe you will have more thoughts.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Happy Endings for Sad Shahrukh Movies
I don’t actually think these are “better” endings, I just like happy endings, even if they aren’t true to the rest of the narrative. Every film should end with a marriage and a baby and a happy reprise of the title song. So in my headcanon, these are how these movies end. Happy happy!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Happy Day After Katrina’s Birthday! Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Her Less Good Shahrukh Movie
This is nice, I can do a repost for both Shahrukh Summer and Katrina’s birthday. And we can consider how we all feel about this movie, still as passionate as before or has time weakened the pain?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What is Your Happiness Shahrukh Khan Song?
It is extremely hot here, which also means I have gotten very little sleep for the past couple nights. So no deep thought post today, silly post! And anyway, I spent forever on the Deep Thought post yesterday, and it’s still got almost no views, so what’s the point?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Thought Post, Shahrukh as the “Heroine” and Why We Love It
This isn’t really a discussion post, but it isn’t a 101 exactly either. It’s just it’s own thing for us all to consider.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What Animal is Shahrukh’s Spirit Animal?
This is even sillier than “what is his best hair” or “what is his best costume”. But it’s summer, I have no seriousness left in me.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Love Triangle Voting! Who Should End Up Together in KKHH, KHNH, Veer-Zaara, Devdas, DTPH, and More!
My goodness he’s been in a lot of love triangles! And we don’t always have to agree with the pair the director decided to end with.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What is His Best Costume Look?
You ready for hard HARD choices? Although I will let you mix and match a little if you want to put a shirt with different pants.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: How Would We Fix His Hair?
There are no bad ideas here! I am open to “stop dying it” and also “grow it shoulder length like in Asoka”. But I think we can all agree that there are better options than “slightly too long bangs and tan highlights” that he is going for now.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Choose Your Own Ending! Which Of these Alternate Endings Do You Prefer for Dear Zindagi, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Zero?
This isn’t a “fixing” the movie post. Maybe you think they are okay as they are. But if you HAD to choose an alternative ending, which one of these would you pick?
