WOW! I saw the classic Naya Daur (New Age) this week and LOVED IT! It’s a drama of man vs. machine. I threw out every machine in my house after seeing it, but then I went out and replaced them all when I understood, if used correctly and without taking away human dignity, they’re OK. [...]

I watched Namastey London yesterday and expected it to be one of those fluffy mediocre movies made for an NRI audience. I watched it only because I’ll watch almost any Bollywood film and went in with low expectations, especially because I haven’t enjoyed Katrina Kaif’s acting so far. Now I have to say something I [...]

Yesterday I had a life just like Babita in yesterday’s video clip. Such generous dosto were Nandini, Brahmanadam and Gurubhai! Hard to believe it was Gurubhai’s first time eating Indian food. They showered me with unique, lovely and valuable gifts, the most valuable being their waqt. We dined on scrumptious delicacies at Best of India in the cozy little gem of [...]

Hey, It’s Ash Wednesday. So this means I think of this Ash too!
One of the things I love best about Bollywood films are the spiritual and moral messages woven in with the music, dancing, action and melodrama. Don’t you? I also adore all that suffering! Of course as a Catholic I know that suffering leads to [...]

Bollywood chugli from the week of 1/25/08 from our favorite correspondent, Suzi Mann:
Madge does Bollywood - ‘Sunday’ hits the big screen, brand Shilpa still sells, King Khan gets nasty.
I wasn’t going to add this video, because I don’t want to give Madonna any attention, but the Cheeni Kum style pony tail of Shahrukh Khan [...]

Like yesterday’s clip, here’s another from Seeta Aur Geeta (1972). Today enjoy the action packed “O Saathi Chal” sung by playback singers extraordinaire, Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle, music by the incomparable R.D. Burman. Here Ravi (Sanjeev Kumar) and Geeta (Hema Malini) skate down a mountain. A typical date, right? Watch carefully as Geeta seems [...]

Like Nandini described in yesterday’s post, I’ve also had a blockbuster week of watching Bollywood movies. In the past week I’ve seen, Debshishu, King Uncle, Haathi Mere Saathi, Amar Akbar Anthony, Cheeni Kum, Guide, Seeta aur Geeta, and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. It’s a rather bizarre mix of flicks. I’m drunk on this Bollywood binge, [...]
