Friday Classics: Jeet, All the Best Things of the 90s
SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!!!! If you like that kind of thing. If I say that the finale has a woman giving birth in a burning house in the middle of a gunfight, does that make you happy or sad? What if I tell you that they all escape the burning house into a burning car in which there is a high speed chase and explosion while she is STILL giving birth? And it ends at a brothel where prostitutes serve as helpful midwives? Is your response “that is so illogical it makes me angry” or “that is so illogical it makes me happy”?

Happy Tabu Birthday Week! Here is a movie in which she is effortlessly incredibly charming, and helps the movie itself also be effortlessly incredibly charming.
Continue readingIt’s Tabu’s Birthday! Let’s Watch Her Songs and Talk Gossip!
Happy Birthday Tabu!!! And thank goodness, a nice lowkey topic for a post. Now that Month of SRK is over, my well of inspiration has suddenly dried up. But Tabu’s always fun.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Silly Sunday: Tabu and Shahrukh Fun Comic Romance Adventure, Two Versions from Me and Emily!
This idea comes courtesy of Emily who requested a fun silly adventure where Tabu gets into wacky scraps and Shahrukh has to keep rolling his eyes and then coming in and rescuing her. And then she wrote a fantastic multi-starrer herself and let me add in a tiny bit myself. Oh, and we both ended up casting Saif, which is perfect since it was his birthday last week!
Continue readingDe De Pyaar De Review (SPOILERS): Love is Messy
Well, this was an interesting movie! Really did not go in the direction I thought it would. More time spent on stories I thought would be quick, and less time spent on stories I thought would be long. If you want to be as surprised as I was you can read the “no spoilers” review. If you want to know what to expect in advance, for real, not just what the trailer says, you can read this. And of course if you’ve already seen the movie and want to join the conversation, you can read this.
Continue readingDe De Pyaar De Review (No Spoilers): It’s All About the Woman
Luv Ranjan is such a FASCINATING artist!!!! I can’t think of anyone else who brings together such different sensibilities within one artist. And, in this case, within one movie! He didn’t direct, but he produced and wrote the script, and it is pretty clearly more of a Luv Ranjan movie than anything else. Really interesting, a film that is both a fun light sexy situational comedy, and also a drama about being a woman and being a man and being a family.
Continue readingDe De Pyaar De Trailer! I Am Cautiously Optimistic
I just put up a grumpy post about the trailer release, but that didn’t actually talk about the trailer itself. So now you get a short little post just about the trailer.
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: Sophisticated Adult Comedy with Tabu and Shahrukh (based on Hollywood film Indiscreet)
My sister and I thought of this idea while talking last night, and even though it will probably have minimal interest for anyone else, I am still writing it up.
Continue readingAndhadhun Review (SPOILERS): A Beautiful Twist at the Interval
I already put up my No Spoilers review, and this film is such a fun ride, I encourage you to read that one and leave this one until after you have watched it. Unless you can’t handle violence, can’t handle thrillers, or for some other reason will never be able to watch this movie.
Andhadhun Review (No Spoilers): A Light Noir
Fun movie! Surprisingly fun movie, especially after all the misery that was Badlapur. We are back to the lighthearted Johnny Gaddar version of Sriram Raghavan. Definitely recommend it if you want something fun with a great cast.
Tuesday Tamil ReRun: Kandukondain Kandukondain, Austen in Tamil
If you are an Austen person, and somehow have not seen this movie yet, FIX THAT!!! It is one of the all time great Austen adaptations, perfectly captures the spirit of the original while moving it to a modern setting. Plus AR Rahman songs.
Tuesday Tamil ReRun Announcement: Next Week, 10/2, Kandukondain Kandukondain!
I am sure my regular Tamil readers are rolling their eyes a bit at this. But this is such a wonderful movie, and a great introduction for those of you who have been all-Hindi up until now. AR Rahman soundtrack, mixture of stars (Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam), and a great script based on Jane Austen. What’s not to love? (by the way, no Tamil on Tuesday this week because I am hoping to see Chekka Chivantha Vaanam in theaters and I will review it whenever I can see it even if the day doesn’t start with a “T”)
Silly Sunday: The Godfather with The Three Khans and Shahrukh as the Hero
Raajneeti, Sarkar, and the original film, I have been on a bit of a Godfather binge (I also rewatched 1 and 2 over the past couple days). So now the inevitable final step, writing my own version.
Silly Sunday 2: Sci-Fi Film Remakes, The Fifth Element to Martian Chronicles, Shahrukh to Dhanush
More suggestions from you! Suggestions that also turned into reading recommendations for me, fun fun! Oh, and plot ideas for movies I really want to see made, whether the stories are translated out of the sci-fi realm or not.
Happy Birthday Nagarjuna!!!!! Ninne Pelladatha, Your Film with Tabu
It’s Nagarjuna’s birthday! What a wonderful day! So, I am going to be reposting all my Nagarjuna reviews for your enjoyment. Or for your ignoring, if you already read them on the first post and don’t care.
Monday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me Independence Week?
Happy Monday! I have a wee bit of a crazy week, so posting may be the slightest bit erratic. But today at least, I am at work with nothing else to do but respond to comments! So, lay your questions on me!
Silly Sunday: Hindi LM Montgomery, Shahrukh as a Dashing Mature Man Romancing Shy Old Maid Tabu
Okay, prepare yourself for a very very deep cut. This is my absolute favorite LM Montgomery short story. So, not an “Anne” book, and not one of her other lessor series either. And not even from the first short story collection Chronicles of Avonlea, but aaaaallllll the way in Further Chronicles of Avonlea. But it’s SO GOOD!!!! How can I resist I remake? And it is just crying out for Shahrukh.
Friday Classic: Talvar, The Middle-Class Pinched From Both Sides
What a fascinating frustrating movie! Based on a fascinating frustrating real life case. Which, I am sure, many people in the comments already know much more about than I do.
Salman Khan In Jail for 5 Years (Maybe)
Well, this is news. Or maybe not. Salman has been sentenced to jail a lot, and then somehow it ends up not happening, so I just don’t know.
Silly Sunday: Quickie Bonus FanFics! Snowed in with SRK
My first fanfic post was very long, had no SRK, and only had one story option. All of these things have resulted in the past in a lack of interest from the readership. So to make it up I am going to do something short, with a lot of options, and lots of SRK.
Silly Sunday: Comeback Films for Preity and Urmila! (with guest appearance from Shahrukh, Anil, Sanjay, Arjun, and Ajay)
It’s Preity’s birthday week! And Urmila’s too! And both of them deserve to be working more, even though they are over 40. So, I have IDEAS!
News Round-Up: Emraan and Ajay and Mouni Have New Movies, Censor Board Still Has Issues, Everyone’s Got Scheduling Issues
More news!!!! Yaaaaaay! Lots of little things that are interesting to keep an eye on and see how they pan out. And of course Padmavat, the story that will never die.
Silly Sunday: Kitchen Stories! In Honor of My New Kitchen
As you know, if you’ve been following along, I just got a new kitchen cart! And then reorganized my kitchen to take advantage of it. And then cooked chicken, soup, and a pie. So I am very kitchen focused right now.
Tuesday Telugu (on Wednesday): Ninne Pelladatha, A Heroine You Will Fall in Love With
I am just cranking through commentator Niki’s recommendations! She’s going to have to start nagging me about new stuff. Not that I mind because once again, I very very much enjoyed what she suggested! Oh, and this is a Tabu film, in honor of her birthday week.
