Barber Barber Dekkho

This news was inevitable and only the first in the long list of events if we let competitive intolerance go unpunished. A billion souls and at any given point someone is getting offended at something. The problem is caused not because of their opinions but because of the capitulation that follows such frivolity.

Thoughts on Slumdog Millionaire

This post comes awfully late and probably after nearly everyone in the blogosphere, desi or otherwise, have opined on the movie that they either love or love to hate but anyway here goes. We saw Slumdog Millionaire in mid-December at one of those early select theaters screenings in Houston. We had heard good things about [...]

Best of Bollywood Blogs

I was invited by Six Apart’s Blogs.com to make a list of the Best of Bollywood Blogs. The list is now published on their site. To be honest, I had to think hard to come up with a list of exclusively Bollywood blogs and had to ultimately include Jai Arjun and Amrita too for their [...]

The Five Point Someone Movie

Why the fuck would Shah Rukh Khan be considered for role of an IIT student? Thankfully, it isn’t happening.

Rajshri offers Free Online Hindi Movies

Our source of Hindi movies apart from the Bollywood theater in Houston is the local desi store where we can buy pirated DVDs. It is virtually a gamble hoping for a good print since we cannot check it in-store. Moreover, the declining quality of popular Hindi movies has turned us away even more. And the [...]

Oye, Chuk de…

(Thanks for all those comments. I think that will keep me going for a while…) :)
I entered a spick and span theatre multiplex at an un-movie hour of 12:45 pm in Mulund, Bombay. Needless to say, the show was ‘House Phool’! While I was walking toward my seat in the second row from the screen [...]

Jai Bhaiyya

One of my favorite movies, Lagaan is now available in a special DVD box set. I am no longer a fan of buying DVDs but one look at this cover art and I wouldn’t mind shelling out my precious bucks to get a copy. And in order to promote the DVD release apna Aamir is [...]

Death to Smoochy

In the spirit of ‘holier-than-thou’ Bharateeya sabhyata and sanskriti, I must protest apni Bipasha cozying up with deft-footed Ronaldo (nooo! the Portuguese one). It seems apart from announcing Taj Mahal as one of the world’s seven wonders, she turned out to be the object of wonder for a certain football star.
In the words of the [...]
