Surely, this will be a long list, won’t it? Any time you are watching a movie going “ooo, the two ‘best friend’ characters really have great chemistry”. Tell us about them!
Continue readingI don’t care what you say, Veere Di Wedding is a really good movie! The characters are clearly written, the conflicts are layered with many sides, and it’s just plain fun. And funny! I want more of this. I especially want more of these characters.
Continue readingWoo, Veere Di Wedding! We’ve been talking about seeing it for weeks and weeks and somehow never got around to it. But today is the day! I am excited!
Continue readingYes, a NEW review! For my fellow ELKDTAL megafans! I’ve watched it, I don’t know, at least 6 times since my theatrical viewing. So I’ve got more stuff to say and more stuff I noticed since then. Oh, and this whole review is SPOILERs, so only read if you’ve already seen the movie.
Continue readingNo surprise to anyone, we’re watching Veere di Wedding! Yaaaaaaay, Sonam’s birthday week!
Continue readingSonam has a great instagram, happy light and fun. So of course for her birthday all kinds of people followed her happy fun lead and put up their own happy fun messages for her.
Continue readingI thought about posting a review of one of her really really good movies, like Ek Ladki or Neerja, but everyone reviews those. Let’s look at the forgotten pleasant films!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Sonam!!!!!! A day to celebrate the movies you helped get greenlit, and the actors you helped to highlight.
Continue readingNo, Veere Di Wedding is still not on Prime or Netflix. But it is on Einthusan! And, I am guessing by process of elimination, Zee5 (hisssssssssssss!!! Eviiiiiiiiiilllll!!!!!). And Ek Ladki is still on Netflix.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I’m traveling today, sort of. My parents and I are moving up to the family lake house for the next two weeks, where internet access is spotty and the view is beautiful. No idea if this will affect posting schedules or not, we will all find out together.
Continue readingDo we all understand the concept of “girl crush”? Someone you aren’t sexually attracted to, but you think they are just really REALLY cool and you want to hang out with them and eat ice cream and be best friends.
Continue readingI already did this for the boys, but can the girls be far behind? And yes, “girls”. Most of these actresses started out before they were 20 and in my book that means you are still a kid.
Continue readingSonam gets a lot of grief for her acting, but boy does she pick fun scripts and co-stars! Her films in the past ten years are some of the funnest happiest ones out there.
Continue readingThanks Alisa! You saw the new American Little Women and complained about it which inspired me to rethink my Indian remake (already wrote it once here) when you suggested that one of the Little Women should get herself a Little Woman.
Continue readingI wrote this FanFic on Sunday but just kind of sketched in the outline. And then we talked and came up with multiple variations on the story.
Continue readingThis is a movie I like more and more as time goes on. It’s happy, it’s loving, and bright colored and cheerful. It’s also completely illogical, but that doesn’t really matter.
Continue readingLove this movie! Love it so so so much! And it is just perfect to watch during the Christmas season.
Continue readingI wish Indian films and Indian celebrities focused more on shoes. They can be such delightful works of art, but unfortunately most of the time they seem like just after thoughts to outfits.
Continue readingThis was such an exciting year! And then it all turned to dross. Oh well, we can use our time machine and pretend we are back then again and we don’t know what will actually happen to these actors.
Continue readingI did it! I figured out the message of Delhi 6! It was right there in front of me all the time! Also, I figured out the main problem (Sonam and Abhishek have terrible chemistry). And the main blessing, the soundtrack is all time great.
Continue readingHe’s still charming I guess, but he’s not like professionally charming. After his 2 year paternity leave (which I continue to find RIDICULOUS) he doesn’t seem to have much interest in returning to work. But back in 2010, I had a crazy crush on him and he was a delight.
Continue readingThis is amazing! Ruth Wilson playing her own grandmother in the story of her grandfather who was both a scoundrel and a brilliant actor, probably where Ruth got it. Anyway, I have to share the story in case you don’t want to watch it and also because it is so fun to imaginary recast in India. And also my brain isn’t working because Sick, and recasting is easy. Also, SPOILERS! Avoid if you like limited BBC historical miniserieses midcentury true stories/Ruth Wilson
Continue readingDon’t worry about spoiling yourself. It’s a rom-com, it’s only gonna end one way. It’s not about the surprises, it’s about enjoying the journey. Read this review, don’t read it, I don’t care.
Continue readingHappy movie! Don’t watch if you don’t like rom-coms. Do like if you do watch rom-coms. Follow those simple rules, and the world will keep spinning.
Continue readingReflects on Life was just talking about how usually “female films” means some depressing issue based movie and it is rare that they are simply movies with female leads. This is a movie with female leads, happy and rich and worrying about love affairs just like in male lead films. And I thought we deserved something happy after Neerja.
