Normally I let you have opinions, but Doosra Aadmi is so great, and it just hit einthusan, so you will really REALLY have to fight me on this.

Friday WatchAlong: Ghungroo! 4pm Chicago Time (AN HOUR LATER THAN USUAL)
First, NOTE THE TIME CHANGE!!!! 4pm!!!!! I had a last minute chance to get together with a friend this afternoon and I couldn’t pass it up. So I moved watchalong an hour. If I run even longer than that (stuck in traffic, whatever), just wait for me to say “And PLAY”.

Sheesh, I put this up almost 4 years ago!!! I wasn’t going to repost it because I figured everyone had already read it. But I guess not, if it is that old.
Continue readingShashi Week! Pick Your Shashi Photo For Various Occasions!
I totally forgot that last year I already did all the important Shashi posts (best feature, old or young, Shashi versus Shahrukh). So this year I am just going to be basic. If we are picking Shashi photos to have printed out for various purposes, which would we pick?
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Ghungroo! For Shashi! 3pm Chicago Time Tomorrow, On Einthusan
Oh boy! We are going to have an adventure and learn new things TOGETHER!!! I haven’t seen this movie, but people tell me it is good, and the cast is AMAZING (Shashi, Smita, Waheedaji), so I am taking a risk.
Continue readingFinal Shashi Vote!!!! Friday or Saturday, Sharmilee or Suhaag or Ghungroo???

Continue readingIMPORTANT QUESTION: What Movie Should We Watch for Shashi Week?
I’m too mad to think about Shashi today because everything in the world is messed up and horrible (as previously noted, Spring should be SPRING, not this back and forth spring-winter-spring-winter). So y’all get to/have to help me. We are looking for a Shashi movie that will make people happy, and is readily accessible on streaming services. So not Deewar, and not Doosra Aadmi. (also, because the world is HORRIBLE, I messed up posting this post, sorry if you got two notices)
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Do We Start the Shashi Celebration Early, or Do We Do Women’s Week?
It’s an important question!!!! Shashi’s birthday is only 9 days away, and will be even closer on Friday. But on the other hand, it is the week of International Women’s Day.

Oh boy! A straight up for realsies classic! Which also means that it is hard to find a good copy and they vary widely in length and quality and stuff. So, we will be watching the einthusan version, for consistancy.
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 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.
