I’m thinking about flying to India on a bunch of balloons. I’ve already declared my love/fascination for the balloons I’ve seen in Bollywood movies. While watching Hum Kisise Kum Nahin (1977), I was delighted to see Bollywood balloons playing a huge part in the Yeh Ladka Hai Allah number. Enjoy the music by R. D. Burman, lyrics [...]

In this magic season of Christmas I was visited by Amitabh Bachchan in a dream. Maybe it’s because I’d recently seen him in Desh Premee (1982), where he looked like Jesus and it’s Jesus’ season. Maybe it’s that buzz around the Bollywood Blogosphere about a possible North American Bollywood Bloggers trying to get together sometime in [...]

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It’s cold outside where I live and being in some warm weather near a swimming pool sure would be nice. All I want for Christmas is THAT pool! No chance of that, so I’ll be happy to write about it instead. I think you’ve seen this pool if you’ve watched your share of Bollywood [...]

The word association I have with leprosy is Mother Teresa, India, and Jesus. After reading this, Many doctors view leprosy as a scourge of Biblical times or faraway places, but there are still thousands of U.S. cases, with more diagnosed each year, experts say (source) maybe I’ll associate leprosy with the U.S. now too. This [...]

Sawan Bhadon is a campy 1970 Bollywood film reviewed cleverly and thoroughly over a The Hot Spot Online and Planet Bollybob. With the film already being so well reviewed, I’m simply here to add some screen images to show some of the fun. Within minutes of Sawan Badon starting, we see Jayshree T. as “Dolly” [...]
