Oh man, it looks SO GOOD!!! Dear Zindagi, not ADHM. ADHM looks the same as before, this new teaser provided no new info.

Happy 15 Days to Shahrukh’s birthday! Countdown, Day 2!
I got started yesterday, with my 16 favorite Shahrukh song videos. Today, my 15 favorite Shahrukh fanvideos!
How does Befikre Have 3 Trailers, and Dear Zindagi Has ZERO?!?!?!?
Today Dear Zindagi got it’s first poster, and Befikre got its 3rd trailer. How is this thusness? Dear Zindagi is coming out 3 weeks before Befikre!!!!
Happy 16 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Let’s Get This Count Down Started!
For today, the 16th day before the magical moment when it will be a full 51 years since Shahrukh was brought forth unto this world, my 16 most favorite Shahrukh song videos!
Update on Ae Dil Hai Mushkil/Raees Release Challenges
Interesting developments! Still no word from the Cinema Owners association on their decision, which is the real make or break part of it, but some news from other groups.
A Bunch of Epilogues to Big Stories
I always feel bad about how the resolution to things is usually not reported. There’s the initial exciting incident or court case or rumor, and then months later when it is actually resolved, nobody pays attention because they have moved on to a new rumor or incident or whatever. So today I am going to try to fix that and report 3 separate resolutions to old stories.
News About Historic Monuments, Eiffel Tower and Mannat
I said “historic monument” as a joke about Mannat, but that’s actually what the controversy is about! Mannat’s historic status.
Sunshine Blogger Post
I know nothing about this and had never heard of it, but moviemavengal passed it on to me and told me to answer these questions, and I trust moviemavengal! So I will do my best (plus, helps me get to a thousand posts before the year is out!).
Happy National Coffee Day!!!
I am celebrating by NOT having coffee! Because it’s Thursday, and I never have coffee on Thursdays. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, yes. And then I detox for two days, sleep all weekend, and get back on the horse again on Monday. Anyway, I thought it would be a good topic for a theme songs post.
Happy Birthday Yash Chopra! Part 3, my final reasons to love you (plus Ravi’s Birthday too): 55-84
Badshah and Aunties, Shahrukh and Wet Shirts, and Other Things That Make Me Happy
Somehow, it is both rainy and overcast, and also 90 degrees out today. And Banjo isn’t playing anywhere near me, so I don’t get to see a new movie tonight. And generally life is bleak and depressing. So, here is a random collection of recent news items that make me happy. Feel free to bookmark this post for the next time you feel down!
SRKajol Videos, Because I Just Remembered Jaati Hoon Main
I put up a post earlier today about the new Mirzya trailer and how it reminded me of “Jaati Hoon Main”. Which just got me in the mood to watch more SRKajol videos!
Rakesh Roshan Gives Shahrukh a Christmas Present
A news item from Times of India! I am shocked! Usually they are far behind on the news, or far ahead (a nice way of saying “reporting unverified gossip”). But this time they scooped Bollywoodhungama on a big story!
Watch a Movie with me Tomorrow!
I’m doing another live twitter watchalong! Just like I did for Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham a few months back (click here to see how that went)! This time, Kal Ho Na Ho! Which is available in American Netflix, as well as most streaming services. It will be at 10am Chicago time tomorrow, which is 8:30pm on Sunday the 18th India time, 1am Australia time (sorry Australia people), 11am New York time, and 8am California time. Join in by searching for the hashtags #KHNH (for Kal Ho Na Ho) or #DCIB (for my book, Don’t Call it Bollywood, which this is nominally promoting. And which you should all read! It’s really good!).
Important News Update: AbRam is Cute
And so is his father! And also a bit of a tech nerd, have you noticed that since he discovered instagram, Shahrukh has been posting a lot of videos that are kind of like the ones your dorky uncle posts after his son shows him how to use the video tools? But more interesting, because it’s a movie star.
FanVid Post: Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Takes Over Youtube
Maybe this has happened before and I just haven’t noticed it, but it feels unusual to me, the speed and excitement over creating fanvids the minute the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil song came out!
News Round-Up: Juhi Does Yoga, and Shahrukh Makes a Little Movie for Us!
I thought we should start the week out on a light note, so two nice light stories.
How Desperate Are You for a New Shahrukh Trailer?
If you are really really desperate, I have one for you! Sort of!
Wanna Watch a Movie With Me (again)? Sept 18th, 11am EDT! Only 10 Days Away!!!
A few months back, we did a twitter watch along for K3G, which was super fun! There were a couple of newbies who we got to introduce to the film, and some old hands who were super excited to share their favorite parts. (you can get a sense of what it was like here)
So, we’re now organizing another one! September 18th, 11am EDT. Kal Ho Na Ho this time (following the theory that it is available on Netflix and other streaming services, and pretty newbie friendly!).
Here is the link to more information on my publisher’s website (she is much more twitter adept than I am!). Hope to “see” a lot of you there!
And in case you forgot how fun Kal Ho Na Ho is to watch, here is a reminder!
Mammootty’s Birthday and Shahrukh’s Dwarf Film
These two things have nothing in common, don’t even try to find a connection. But moviemavengal tweeted me about Dulquer’s gift to his Dad, and another commentator pointed out that it was Mammootty’s birthday today and now I feel bad for not acknowledging it at all. Although I did happen to post my Jagratha review today, so that’s cool!
News Round-Up: Parineeti Is Moving, Salman Shoots for Tubelight, and “Lost” SRK Film Discovered!
Today it’s a bunch of stories that might someday turn into real stories, but right now are just little story seedlings.
The Ads America Doesn’t Get: A Selection
My post earlier today about the new Lux ad Shahrukh is in got me thinking about all those wonderful star ads we don’t get in America. Well, unless you spring for the India package on cable (Someday!!!).
News Round-Up: Shahrukh and Soap, Shahrukh and Christmas, and the Roshans and the Police
Not the biggest collection of news stories today, but still worth posting because of the bigger stories they are teasing out for the future.
News Round-Up: Anupam Kher Works Out, Shahrukh Has No Shoes, and Disney Leaves India
There is a really funky little human interest story, and a really important industry story. But most of all, a really NO WAY!!!!! story about Anupam Kher.
FanVid Post: No Reason, Just Felt Like It
FanVid Post time! I was debating between that and a post running through all the previous superhero movies in honor of The Flying Jatt. But FanVids are more fun, right? And maybe I do the superhero post at some point in the next few days.
