Amazing Real Life Fake Fiance Story That We MUST Make Into a Hindi Movie!!!! Starring Preity!
I just watched this amazing documentary, made by a TV producer/reporter who was completely conned by an evil doctor/boyfriend/person and fought back by turning their whole relationship (complete with home movies) into a TV special she hosted. Amazing real life story/heroine, that I want to turn into a movie so I can give it a happy ending.
Continue readingAnother True Crime Story For Remake! An Evil STEM Professor Villain and a Prostitute Heroine!!!
This is such a ridiculous true life story that I can’t resist making it into a movie. Especially because it means I can give it a happy ending. And also talk about how male science professors are the SCUM OF THE EARTH.
Continue readingAnother True Crime Show That Could Be a Hindi Movie, Including a GREAT Role for Jennifer Lopez!!!
I’m still watching bad true crime, so sue me. I am addicted to terrible reenactments and serious talking heads from “relationship experts”. Anyway, great plot ideas for Indian movies!
Continue readingChak De India Short FanFics, How Kabir Could End Up Married to Komal, Aliya, Bindiya, Preety, Vidya
Ha! You don’t think it can be done! But it can be done. Largely because all of these stories involve “and then Kabir’s Mom makes him marry her” at some point.
Continue readingRemake Ideas: Which Weird True Crime Story Would Make the Best Hindi Film? (featuring Sid M, Shahrukh, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, etc)
I am watching so much true crime! But, like, small true crime. Little hour long shows that just summarize mildly interesting local news stories, not big injustices or tragedies or stuff. And most of them have some crazy personal story at the center which is AWESOME.

Christmas Movies! YAAAAAAAY! I watch them, I sew, I wrap, I cook, I clean, my December goes by. They are not really made to be watched closely, I think, they are made to be thrown on the TV to stop the kids from screaming, or else to play in the background for company as you complete a thousand and one tasks.
Continue readingThree Sentence Remake Ideas for Sid M, In and Out With Sid-Varun, Christmas in Connecticut with Jackie-Sid, The Bishop’s Wife with Shahrukh-Alia-Sid
Christmas remakes! Okay, one of them isn’t technically Christmas, but it’s all family love and stuff, so it could easily be Christmas.

This is like the third time we’ve done this, don’t care. It’s Friends! It’s the one pop culture artifact that everyone everywhere in the world has an awareness of! And which has some very very strong archetypes that are fun to translate to other cultures.

Most of you have seen some to none of these, don’t care! For my own happiness, I am going to play with how they could be turned into Indian movies/TV shows. And I guess you should all watch them? If you like pleasant lowkey shows that leave you smiling and ready for bed, these are very good options.

It is too hot to think straight today (ha! straight!), not only can I not think enough to write a “real” post and have to fall back on fanfic, even with fanfic I can’t think it all through, I have to just start it off and leave it there for you to imagine the rest.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Street Dancer 3D, the Way It Should Have Been!
We watched it on Friday, which was super fun. But also we got all upset about the half done love story and I started thinking about how I would have written it to have a whole other second half that gave a more satisfying love story structure instead of the very light weight plot with a lot of dance competitions instead of relationship drama.

I have been having a lazy brainless weekend. Went to my apartment, could in theory be sorting and organizing but instead I am sitting in my sunny living room watching TV shows.

You thought we were done with Karan Johar, didn’t you? But no! I have one more thing to say that occurred to me while we were doing our Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham watch. And this thing will also, once again, give me a chance to rewrite the endings of Karan Johar movies which is my favorite thing of course.
Continue readingAlternate Kuch Kuches: Little Anjali and Salman Romance, Shahrukh Falls in Love With Someone Else Instead of Kajol, Shahrukh is Bi and Kajol is a Man
Is “kuch kuches” the plural, do we think? Or is “kuch kuchi” better? I’ll leave it like this, but feel free to weigh in with your thoughts in the comments!

My parents and I had a little Elaine May mini-fest last week, and I fell in love with her funny but ultimately loving sort of comic touch. And now I want to rewrite and recast all her movies for India! Because it makes me happy. Even if no one reads this post.

Shashi alert! Well, sort of. At least “Kendal Family Alert”. Let’s look at nice pleasant murder mystery serieses from the BBC, the kind where death happens without blood or mess and usually to unpleasant people we don’t mind when they day, and suggest that perhaps Netflix should stop making scary bloody rapey shadowed urban series, and more happy pretty countryside murders.
