Shashifest Continues! A Challenge, Rank His Best Features!
This is respectful of a great artist, moral man, and loving husband and father, right? To reduce him to body parts and pick which are best?

How are these discussion posts getting more traffic than anything else I have put up in weeks???? Is it possible we are all terribly shallow? Naaaaaaah, surely not!
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.
Continue readingUpcoming Film Reviews: Ramesh Sippy Two Weeks!!!! His Films Reviewed in Chronological Order
This is exciting! And very difficult since I’ve only seen 3 out of the 8 films I want to cover. Oh well, I’ll give myself a nice slow schedule. And throw in the usual Sunday Reruns and new movies and stuff in between so you aren’t bored.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Doosra Aadmi, Sex and Marrying Too Young
This is such a good interesting movie! I watched it years ago and yet I still remember it well enough to write a review, which is a sign of a very good movie.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Which Shashi Photo is the Sexiest Shashi Photo?
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.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Peak Sharmila and Shashi Get Naked in a Cabin
Woo-hoo, first new review! Starting on top with arguably the two most attractive people in 1970s Hindi film, Sharmila and Shashi. Get them naked in a cabin, and you’ve really got something!
Continue readingValentine’s Week 2020 Final Schedule! Sex Sex Sex Sex Sex!
I did it! Halfway through Aa Gale Lag Jaye (which I am loving, Shashi 4Ever), I realized that what we need most is more sex in our lives. And in our movies. So for the next two weeks, sex sex sex. Woo-hoo! Oh, this also means not all your suggestions made the cut, but sex often involves sacrifice.
Continue readingJaved Akhtar Day! Trishul, My Favorite Salim-Javed Script
It was Javed’s birthday yesterday, and I am traveling, so I am going to repost a couple of my old favorite Salim-Javed reviews. Starting with this one, which did not turn out to be the best film but is my favorite of their scripts.
Continue readingFanVid Post! Because I am Traveling!
Well, this is just me being lazy! I’m traveling (driving for 6 hours, then walking around and visiting places with my Mom), so I threw this together and scheduled it in advance.
Continue readingTGIF: Shashi Week Finale!!!!!
I know I just put this up recently, but whatever, I’m on vacation and it’s Shashi, who is going to object to more Shashi photos? I am going to add just a few more new ones for us, just for fun.
Continue readingFriday Classics: Deewar! The Best Movie Shashi Kapoor Was In
I’m just going to say it, Deewar is the best written film in the history of Hindi cinema. I did a mini-review of it related to the release of Raees, I am going to expand on that mini-review and try to give it the detailed discussion it deserves.
Continue readingShashi Week, Trishul! My Favorite Shashi-Amitabh Movie!
My favorite Yashji and Amitji’s film! Not the best one, that I know, but my personal favorite.
Continue readingShashi Week! Sharmilee, Shashi and Raakhee and Spies and Twins and Planes and Snow and EVERYTHING!
This is SUCH a fun movie! And, Shashi wears an army officer’s uniform almost the entire time. Also, I know I am a day late on this review, but it kind of works well that I am writing it on Holi, because it fits with the kind of fun silly and a little flirty feel of the holiday.
Continue readingShashi Week: Junoon, Shashi’s Greatest Triumph as a Producer/Star
You can see Shashi’s humility in this film, he has a wonderful role, but it is no bigger than anyone else’s, he easily shares screen space with Nawazuddin Shah, with Nafisa Ali, and of course with his own wife.
Continue readingHappy Shashi Week! Kabhi Kabhi, The Movie Where Shashi is The Best Kapoor
Happy Shashi’s birthday!!!! What a wonderful day, and what a wonderful week, a Shashi review every day! Starting with Kabhi Kabhi, a multi-starrer where Shashi is easily the best man on screen.
Continue readingJennifer Kendal’s Birthday Today, In Her Honor Here Are Some Things I Learned from Reading Shashi’s Biography
Thank goodness, nothing that really changes what I already knew, which means I don’t have to update this post. But I did learn a few more details that were interesting.
