Continue readingFriday WatchAlong, Trishul! Starting at 3pm Chicago Time Tomorrow, ONLY ON EINTHUSAN
Well, this is a very impractical choice. It will only work if you all swear to watch on Einthusan and nowhere else. But you say you will, so fine! We’ll try it!

I promised you an All Happiness day, right? What could be happier than objectifying men in a feminist act of subverting gender power dynamics!
Continue readingI’m Sad Today, Thus a Post of Shashi Kapoor Gifs
I suppose I could try to come up with a reason, like it is the anniversary of one of his films or something, but really there is no reason. I’m sad, so I’m putting up gifs of Shashi. And then I’m gonna have a strawberry milkshake.

Happy Wednesday! Today is the day I move in with my parents! So, leaving my comfortable 4 room apartment that I have all to myself, to squeeze in to their 5 room apartment and bounce off the walls. But better than hitting that 7pm time after the work calls are over when I start to go buggy from isolation. (reminder, keep comments light. Happy Place!)

Continue readingHindi Film 101: Overlooked Siblings Round-Up! What’s Up With Shaheen Bhatt, Rinke Khanna, Sunaina Roshan, Sanjana Kapoor, Namrata and Priya Dutt, and Rhea Kapoor?
Brace yourself for the sympathetic overlooked sibling pain! Or for the triggering of “I’m sorry for being so awesome and making people not notice you!” noticed sibling guilt. Or I suppose for agonizing parental worry as you see this pattern appearing within your own family. Anyway, for me, this is because I am about to visit New York City, which is essentially the glitzy big sibling to Chicago, and all my Chicago feathers are already rumpled. We’re just as good! We just don’t like to talk about ourselves as much!
Continue readingRamesh Sippy Week: Shaan! It’s Like Sholay, But Fun Dumb!
Well, I can see why people (some of them members of the DCIB community…) might prefer this film to Sholay. Sholay is brilliant and tragic and makes you think. But this movie has a helicopter and an alligator pit. The choice is clear.

Happy Monday! I had such a happy sunny weekend, and now I am trying to get back into work mindset.

Are you feeling down? Is the work week getting to you? Or just the general February blahs? I have a cure! Let us all stare at Shashi Kapoor photos, until we are ready to stop.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Kabhi Kabhi Review 2! What Does Yash Chopra Think Makes Good Sex?
This is a movie with a lot of layers, consideration of parent and child relationships, and changing times, and the generation gap. But it is also about sex, and what makes good sex and bad sex, and why that matters in a relationship.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Kabhi Kabhi Review 1! The Movie that is All About Sex Without Being About Sex
Happy Kabhi Kabhi day! This is my old review, with one paragraph added, but I think I have to do a second review later today specifically about what sex means in this movie because I think Yashji had a very particular reason for showing different interactions between the 5 couples.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Competition Post! Name Twins Compete for Sexiest Crown!
No Shahrukh! He would skew the results. Instead, I am putting a bunch of non-SRKs up against each other in a series of matched pairs. Good news is, you don’t need to have heard of any of these people before!!!!! Just look at the photos and make a snap judgement. Like picking out a bride.
