That title really makes you want to watch this movie, doesn’t it? Or, alternatively, not. If you have no patience for gold chains on glorious chest hair, or long speeches about the sins of money, this may not be for you.
Continue readingShould this be my tradition? Every Ambani Wedding week, I repost this? I guess, because I know so little about the family that it’s not like I will ever have anything to add to it.
I completely missed the coverage of the latest Ambani wedding, but I can leap in last minute to give the absolute basic bare bones information about the family for those of you who may not know about them. They are soooooooooooooo important in India, and yet tend to stay out of focus in the rest of the world, so you may not be aware of them if you live somewhere else.
I’m back! 6 hours of sleep, and now I am refreshed and ready to move on to the SPOILERS review, after having already written the No Spoilers review. Which will be super fun for me, having just spent a month learning in detail everything about what “really” happened in Sanjay’s life (you can read that here). And therefore knowing just what this film changed. Which is EVERYTHING.
I’m back! For another look at some of the parts we have already covered, and a look ahead at some new parts. Sanjay, and the women of his life. (full index of Hindi Film 101 including the other Sanjay parts here)
This is partly because there are some friends in real life who are asking me to explain what happened, and partly because I feel the need to sort of write it out like a story for myself. And partly because this will be the last Sridevi news type post (probably. Unless something big changes), I don’t want to keep chewing away for ever, I want to sum it up one last time and move on to remembering her life, not her death. (previous as it happened posts here and here and here and here and here and here and here)
Happy Holi! I almost forgot this holiday thanks to the national mourning happening (sounds like at least a few of the Holi parties for the film industry will be canceled altogether), but I remembered in time. This is a mix of songs I have posted in previous years and new ones. Enjoy! And let me know if I missed something (yes yes, “Rang Barse” and all the other must dos are there)
My first Hindi Film 101 series was on the Kapoors which took FOREVER. So I am doing a nice little refreshing change and doing a simple 2 generation family (so far) with only 2 major stars in it (so far). The Khanna-Kapadia-Kumars!
I like Alok Nath as much as the next person, but he’s not normally the type who would get a birthday post. But it’s a slow news day, I feel like throwing up a video post, so why not! Plus, he’s turning 60, so it’s a big one! Here are 12 reasons I love you, 1 for every 5 years you’ve been alive!
