I don’t think anyone else loves this movie the way I love this movie. But I really really love this movie!

Sunday ReRun/Hrithik Week: Bang Bang, My Favorite Hrithik Movie!
I love this movie so much. To a really unreasonable degree. I can justify it as a fun entertaining film, I can’t exactly justify my blind passion for it above all other films. Oh well, the heart wants what the heart wants.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Baar Baar Dekho! Let’s Look At the Last Time Sid Did a Rom-Com
I really need to rewatch this movie. I think I might like it a lot better knowing where it is going. And I already liked it a decent amount. It wasn’t great, but it was far from terrible. Oh, and it’s on Amazon Prime! So you should all watch it. Oh, and watch out, I had a lot of time the week this released so I did a full scene by scene discussion. VERY LONG.

I hope at least some of you watched this movie, or are rewatching it now in your heads, with the possibility of an against the grain reading in your thoughts. Because it is really really asking for it!

I wrote this review a long long time ago, and it isn’t as good as the film deserves. So I did quite a bit of rewriting before reposting it, fun for those of you who remember the original post! There’s still something new for you!
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Notebook, My Favorite Romance of 2019 (so far)
This is such a delightful little surprise of a movie! I really hope a lot of you were able to watch it. And if you weren’t, put it on your list to watch soon, because it is really wonderful.
Continue readingSunday ReRun Announcement: Notebook! The Sweetest Nicest Prettiest Happiest Little Romance, Review on 6/9
I am going to give you all a gift! This is a movie that is just pure joy, happiness in a little Amazon Prime package. You should all watch it, and then thank me.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Guru! A Biopic That is Secretly a Story About Love
I say “rerun”, but I actually did quite a bit of rewriting of this review, so it’s mostly totally new. Hopefully you like it!
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Fan! Yash Raj’s Riskiest Movie
This is honestly such a brilliant movie. I would recommend it to anyone, that is, anyone who was serious about film and popular culture. It’s not a “fun” watch, but it is a challenging and ultimately rewarding watch.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety! The Surprisingly Fun, Surprisingly Progressive, Bromance
Reposting this review in honor of the De De Pyaar De release! And now that I have seen both, I can tell you that De De Pyaar De is the more progressive film, but this movie is the more fun movie as a whole.
Continue readingSunday Rerun: Pari! For Mother’s Day, a Movie About the Pain and Danger of Being a Mother in a Man’s World
Such a good movie! I keep waiting for it to become a cult classic, for more people to discover it, but so far it seems to still be forgotten by the world. But I will try to help by making it my Mother’s Day pick!
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Yennai Arindhaal/Yentavaadu Gaani
I think I may have finally figured out what I like about Gautham Menon films. It took a while, because they seem like the kind of film I shouldn’t like, perfect heroes and opaque heroines. But with this film, I think I have cracked it. Oh, and also, Ajith looks goooo-ooooood with grey hair! Which is neither here nor there, but I felt it should be acknowledged.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Dishoom! So Silly, So Fun, So Dishoom-y
This is a very silly, very fun, very stupid movie. It may not be as brilliant and complex as some other films, but by golly the time just flies by while you are watching it! Oh, and this review needs some formatting fixes, I’ll do it soon, I just want to throw it up quick now before I take the dog for a walk.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Mubarakan! A Big Fun Stupid Movie With a Mostly Great Cast
Are you all mad at me for making you watch this dumb dumb movie? Or are you grateful that I challenged you to watch a super entertaining movie? Or did you all ignore this film and no one will read the review?
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga, A Happy Family Masala Movie
I really hope a lot of you are watching this on Netflix! It is such a happy good feeling family movie, I feel like the world will be a better place if more people watch it.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Swades! Because I Am Also on Vacation From Regular Life in a Warmer Climate!
Swades! It’s really good, a bunch of you have seen it multiple times, I don’t feel bad reposting this review while I am out having fun with friends in sunshine.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Annmariya Kalippilannu, a Little Girl Goes After Everything She Wants However She Has To!
This is such a great movie, for once the kind of amoral no excuses whatever it takes attitude of the action hero, shows up in a tiny little girl
Continue readingSaturday ReRun: Silsila! In Honor of Lent, a Reminder to Avoid Lust, and Cheating on Jaya
Happy Sunday! And let me remind you of one of the all time greatest Hindi films, and definitely the best exploration of how “true love” is bad and selfish.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Raabta! A Very Silly But Satisfying Movie
Totally did not plan to have this movie re-reviewed the same week as Magadheera! But didn’t that all work out nicely?
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Loins of Punjab, Still the Best Movie on the Indian-American Experience; At Least, in New Jersey
I just watched this movie for the 4th time, and it is still So. Good! And such a hard sell! I’ve seen it 4 times partly because people will only watch it if I sit next to them and force them to. Because the title alone really isn’t enough to sell it.
Continue readingSunday ReRun Announcement: Manoranjan, Fun and Silly and Gloriously Rule-Breaking
Next Sunday, a fun one! A very irreverent one from the 70s, great comedy, great casting, great everything.
Sunday ReRun: Daawat E Ishq, the Tragedy of the Father of the Bride
I would say “why didn’t anyone tell me how good this movie is?”, but then there have been people screaming at me in the comments to watch it for months now, so I can’t really say that. Anyway, it’s good! Really good! Running Shaadi good (my gold standard for overlooked brilliant little rom-coms).
Sunday ReRun: Qarib Qarib Singlle, a Nice Mature Romance With a Weak but Happy Ending
I just reviewed this movie a few months back, but it’s on Netflix now and it is very pleasant, so I thought I might as well bring out the review again.
Sunday ReRun Announcement: Qarib Qarib Single, Something Light and Easy
I don’t have a great idea for this week, so I am going with an easy happy idea. A short pleasant film that is already on Netflix.
