In re My-Love-for-Hindi-Cinema







Aftab ki roshni saari duniya ko roshan karti hain.
Phir Aftab ne khud takleef kyun ki?
(-Mughal E Azam)



What an EPIC pass.

People I just Can't take Seriously

Sometimes, I wonder if my attempts to be funny on this blog fail miserably.
Or if they make me sound like a fool
Or shallow or something
Then Again I really don't want to know if I'm crappy at it =P
I also don't care much...

You, of course, are reading my blog because-
a) You're Awesome (I'm a Traffic Whore. Deal with it)
b) I'm awesome and you like knowing my opinion on life the universe and everything.

This post will tell you about the 5 kinds of people I just CANNOT take seriously.

1. Men who make a middle parting in their hair
Found Image on Google Images. Praying I don't get sued for defamation.
Looks worse when oiled.
I mean, no offence and all that. But if you look like that, it really is hard to take you seriously

2. Boys who wear briefs not boxers.

You know you think so too. (Disclaimer: This is not an original idea)

3. Boys shorter than 5ft 9inches
Courtesy Chetna.
Seriously!! What's the point? The girl will always feel bad about never being able to wear heels.
And really. Doesn't fit into my stereotypical image of masculinity. Just does not.

4. Grown-ups wearing Crocs.

Not allowed unless you're a gardener. Or are in Disney World.

5. Liverpool Fans
Need I say anything more? But then again...

He's pretty awesome.

Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost...

I'm a little bit filmy.
Ok. Maybe more than a little bit filmy.
I don't know if I can be classified as Drama Queen or anything, but filmy. Yes. Definitely.
Unless you meet me and are subjected to my constant talking, you will never really understand how truly I love dialogue.
Impact hota hai boss.
And  this is of course limited to Bollywood. (With special reference to 90s Hindi Cinema)
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
This is a list of my ABSOLUTE favourites.


Exhibit A.
I actually feel for this movie.
It gives me a real adrenaline rush.
Who needs a Ferrari when you have Hindi Cineme.
Awesome. Just. Plain. Awesome.
They thought they could recreate the magic with Rok Sako to Rok Lo.
But seriously?
Why would you even try?

I <3 Juhi Chawla in this movie.
So many insane scenes.
Like the one with the egg-fight.
And hiding under the table and passing the food.
Stealing Jalebis.
And the romance. I love.

need i say anything?
Need ANYONE say anything?
What-A-Movie.
Nach Gaana Romance.
Bas.
I'll confess one thing.
There used to be a time, when i knew this movie by heart and re enacted it with my friends and cousins.

So cute. With the flashback and all.
I cried for kajol you know.
And I think I had goosebumps when little Anjali wore the white salwar kurta with the red bandhni dupatta.
Dude.
Goosebumps again.
Even thinking of it.

Aye Haye!
Even I want a Raj.
Now.
Please. Fast.
Though the train scene in the end is admittedly a little bit ridiculous, but how can a hindi film be succesful without ridiculous?

Best movie EVER.
End of Story.
And the music. OHMYGOD.
And the dancing.
and the romance.
And the dog.
And everything else. So SO SO SO beautiful/

One of the few Latesht movies i loved.
The horse riding was the ridiculous element needed.
I'm telling you.

Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye!
Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye!
Thakur to giyo.
<3


if not raj and simran,
my love life HAS to be like Geet and Aditya
Drama.
ah. what would life be without drama?


I'm going to die if i list out all.
But I must list out my honourable mentions-

Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya
Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
Love
Hum Saath Saath Hai
Judwaa
Pyar to hona hi tha
Vivaah
Kal Ho Na Ho
Chak De! India
Taal
Hum dil de chuke sanam
The David Dhawans

Bollywood.
in the 90s.
No one did it this well.
The music, the story lines, the dancing, the craziness.
Only Dabangg comes close.

Plus One?
