Happy Independence Day to you! We all eventually get our freedom from the Brittishers, hai na?

You may be wondering like I am, “Sita-ji, why aren’t you in Chicago tonight enjoying Amitabh and everyone else in The Unforgettable Tour?” You see there was a time not too long ago when one could fly from Minneapolis (blog headquarters) to Chicago for $100 or $200 round trip. Now with the poor economy, the [...]

I thought this was so exciting I had to copy it and share it here.
Head over to Amitabh Bachchan’s Blog to read all about his thoughts on the Houston show of The Unforgettable Tour. In today’s post at Amit-ji’s blog, he writes about a time he lived in New York city,
I have lived in this metropolis [...]
Dil Hi Dil Mein (2000) aka Kadhalar Dhinam, My first hybrid dubbing experience.

When I saw Dil Hi Dil Mein (2000), I felt like a genius, or an idiot, or both. I kept thinking that since this was originally a Tamil movie titled Kadhalar Dhinam (1999), that is was probably dubbed into Hindi. But then I’d see scenes where the lips were completely synching up with the Hindi, and Bollywood actors like Anupan Kher [...]

Here I sit, wishing I were in L.A. attending this evening’s The Unforgettable Tour! But I’ve been told by posters to this site, jen (start a blog girl!) and theBollywoodFan, that they’ve taken me along to the show in spirit, so I feel good. I’m happily checking my blog statistics and spy that there are some incoming hits [...]
Bollywood meets NASCAR? Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007)
Posted in BOLLYWOOD, Video of the Day, playback singers, tagged playback singers, BOLLYWOOD, Rani Mukherjee, Saif Ali Khan, Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal-Shekhar, Ta Ra Rum Pum, NASCAR on July 26, 2008 | 11 Comments »
Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007) starring Saif Ali Khan -n- Rani Mukerjee (or Mukerji if you feel like spelling it that way) is sort of NASCAR meets Bollywood. In my commitment to watch all Hindi movies available through my local library system, I forced myself to watch TRRP. I also forced myself to write about [...]
Is this the biggest Shahrukh Khan fan?

A friend, clever enough to ferret out such work, and thoughtful enough to direct my attention to it, sent me this image the other day.
I demanded to know its source, which was passed on to me, and now to you. For complete fan dedication to Shahrukh Khan, visit Shahrukh Khan Fantasies. You’ll find many images of [...]

I know this is a Bollywood blog, but sometimes I have to talk about Tollywood.
I saw my second Telugu film the other day: Bommarillu (2006). The first Telugu film I saw was Varsham (2004), which I enjoyed just as much. I was excited to see Genelia D’Souza in a movie, since her much anticipated Bollywood film Jaane Tu Ya [...]

Calling all Bollywood bloggers and Bollywood blog readers! SOB!
I was hopping around the web tonight and found some spectacular photos of Bollywood stars. Let me tell you how it all happened. I finished watching the thriller Aggar (2007) and was doing my customary post movie research. I usually like to refresh my memory about where I may have seen the actors [...]
