shah rukh khan- Ticket to Bollywood

Top 5 favorite twitterererers...

I honestly can’t think of anything else to blog about. This list may be a bit predictable (at least number one will be), but humor me. 05. Vivek Oberoi (@vivek_oberoi) He has a horrible taste in scripts (make a good movie Vivek, please?), but he’s incredibly sweet on Twitter. He seems to genuinely care about the fans, and individually replies to so many of them. 04. Arjun Rampal (@rampalarjun) Same as Vivek....

Movie Review: My Name is Khan...

I tried to do this without spoilers, but it proved to be impossible. So, massive spoilers ahead. I’ve been quite surprised with the reactions to My Name is Khan. First, it was a pleasant surprise to read all the positive reviews from the critics. Almost all of them had nothing but good things to say about KJo’s latest film. But then the member reviews started coming in. The initial ones were still very positive,...

Top 15 songs of 2009...

I’m a bit late on these countdown lists, but better late than never I suppose. There’s lots of songs I liked this year, and lots of albums had a bunch of good songs. I tried not to include a movie more than once, but it happened a couple of times. If there were songs that released in 2009 but the movie didn’t release til 2010, I left them off this list. Those will figure into next year’s list, so...

10 Favorites from the Decade...

Ok, I’m taking a page from the blogs of FilmiGirl and TheBollywoodFan and a thread at BollyWHAT to compile a list of my 10 favorites from the 2000s, one from each year. I’ll probably have quite a few SRK movies, but will include a couple of honorable mentions if need be. 2000: 2000 didn’t look like a very good year. Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was totally overrated, Mohabbatein was booooring, Hrithik’s other...

3 quick reviews...

Haven’t really felt like writing full reviews lately, so here are quick reviews of the last three films I’ve seen. BILLU BARBER This was a nice movie, but it could have been a lot better. I’m sure many figured it was an SRK movie, because all the promotion seemed to point to it. I loved the soundtrack, but at least two of SRK’s songs needed to be cut to make for a better film. Love Mera Hit Hit...

Movie Review: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi...

*contains spoilers, major plot points revealed* Aditya Chopra’s first film, DDLJ, as we know, was a major blockbuster, and is still running in theaters to this day. Five years later, his second film, Mohabbatein, though not on the same level as DDLJ, was a big hit. And now, 8 long years later, we get Adi’s third film, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Can it live up to the earlier two movies, especially DDLJ? A film like...

Music Review: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi...

So, here we go. One of the most anticipated movies of the year, if not the most. Adi-SRK back together again, etc etc. There’s been lots of talk about SRK being paired with such a young co-star, Anushka Sharma. Salim-Suleman were selected to do the music, and that also raised eyebrows. Would they be able to get the job done? Were t hey the right choice? Should composers like AR Rehman, SEL, or VS have been...

Movie Review: Krazzy 4...

This movie is touted as a comedy, but it’s far from it. Sure, it has it’s moments (which didn’t come across as very funny to me), but overall, it’s a drama with splashes of comedy. The movie starts out introducing us to the characters. The first thing that struck me was they didn’t really seem all that crazy. Arshad Warsi’s character, who has an anger management problem, doesn’t...

How young is too young?...

30? Good. 25? Stretching it, but ok. 20? Ok, stop. But 16? 16??!! Sonam Kapoor to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan This makes me want to cry. Sure, I have faith in SRK, I have faith in Adi, but come on. Sonam isn’t even 16. Let her at least play her age. Yes, SRK’s look in the film makes him look very young, but still. Though I’m not as hysterical about it as I was when I first heard the news. Maybe...
