Tracie Marsh A Personal Bollywood Victory!!!

Yeah!!!! After MONTHS of trying to get my daughter to watch BW movies with me, I FINALLY got her, her husband and my husband to watch 3 Idiots! I couldn't believe it! This is coming from a person who always snorted in disgust when I mentioned Bollywood, or if I was listening to the music would heave a sigh and actually leave my home! So anyway, they watched the movie and LIKED IT!!! The only thing they didn't care for was the birthing scene because they said it was so far-fetched. I forgot to… Continue

Srini Iyer Double Dhamaal - Rated: Skip (1.5/5 star)

First the verdict - 1.5/5 star is what I would go with this trash.

 

I don't remember my wife and I suffering from a movie in the recent past that in the name of comedy has turned out to be such an over the top acting with hardly any story to tell than this one. Granted, we did really go with lot of expectation, based on our…

Lisa Bolly Triple Feature Sunday -- Namastey London, Kuch Naa Kaho, Veer

I had some free time for once, so I watched three movies in a row yesterday. :-)  First was Namastey London with Akshay Kumar.  I wasn't expecting a lot out of this, to be honest, since I'm not much of an Akki fan.  However, I liked him in this, or at least didn't outright dislike him, which is an improvement!  I thought this movie was really well done and the non-Indian acting was great by Bollywood standards.  I watched the extras on the DVD and discovered they used a British crew,…

Lisa Nan's 13th Birthday!

My daughter's 13th bday was last weekend and we had a Bollywood birthday bash!  We played Bollywood songs and cooked Indian food.  Here are some pics:

 

The Om Shanti Om cake!  This took forever to make, BTW.  Hahaha.  Mainly because it's three different kinds of cake (white coconut, chocolate, and red velvet).  We still have cake sitting on the kitchen table a week later, oy.

Lisa Tees Maar Khan review

TEES MAAR KHAN



Tees Maar Khan is a Bollywood movie directed by Farah Khan and starring Akshay Kumar.  It's about a con man who pretends to make a movie as part of an elaborate ruse to rob a train... or something.  Along the way there are headless ghosts, marijuana farms with child labor, conjoined twins, and a (sort-of) plane hijacking.  Oh, and did I mention that Tees Maar Khan is a slapstick…

Srini Iyer Review of Tanu Weds Manu



First the verdict: I will go with 3.5/5. Despite the name, this movie is a love story and not about wedding, just like the recent movie Band Baaja Baarat, which was also a love story and not about wedding planners. This movie works. I will talk about it in a bit. But before that, bit on love stories and new crop of directors.…

Srini Iyer Anajaan Anjaani Movie - 2/5 Star



Genre: Romance

Length: over 2 hours

Rating: 2 out of 5

Worth Seeing?: Skip



New York: 1 hour 20 minutes into the movie, and all you see is multiple

and unsuccessful attempts to suicide by the lead pair (Ranbir Kapoor and

Priyanka Chopra) with predominantly night shots with multiple songs

thrown in without any relevance. If you have seen the promo out there in

YouTube, there are two scenes with slightly comedic… Continue

Vicki Aubin, Bollywood Bytes Hey, Bollywood! SYTYCD called...and they're running out of ideas! ;)







Why oh WHY oh WHY are all these reality dance competition shows all stuck on representing "Bollywood" dance as only CLASSICAL INDIAN DANCE in traditional costumes? Someone at SYTYCD needs to be schooled, seriously. Being a dance teacher, performer and fan-at-large of contemporary Bollywood dance (i.e. think Hritik or Shahid), I have a 'bone to pick'. To read more of my rant and rave on the topic, click HERE:…

Erin Georgiana I Love to "Luv" I Hate Luv Storys!

I Hate Luv Storys, 2010

Directed by: Punit Malhotra



Who is Punit Malhotra and where has he been all my life?

If Karan Johar never touched another movie, his life would be complete.

I wasn't even more than 2 minutes into the film and I just knew, this was going to rock my boots off.

(if I wore boots...)

Do you know what I "luv" about IHLS?…

filmi geek Shaan (1980)

(This review was originally posted at the Filmi Geek movie review blog.)



When you watch enough masala movies, they start to blend together in a sort of meta-masala of fun pranks, wacky costumes, and sociopathic villains. Only a few standout films rise above this masala miasma, distinguished as truly great movies and not just paisa vasool masala. Shaan ("grandeur") is not one of them. But even if it's not the richest masala dish ever… Continue

Beth Loves Bollywood Subtitle Typo Award (1987): 8 characters are worth 1,000 words and pictures

Ekta R. Garg Analyzing Kites—What Does It Mean for Bollywood?

By Ekta R. Garg

June 4, 2010

Rated: Get it on Netflix

Over the Memorial Day weekend, I did what many people do in these three days: I watched a movie. And considering my unique connection to it, I felt it only fitting that I go see the “Hindi” version of Kites. After hearing Hrithik and Co. talk about the work they put into the film on May 14 at the Kites press event, I was incredibly curious to see it and find out for myself whether…
