Talkie Tuesday: Ek Tha Tiger

 

"The day you follow your heart, consider yourself dead."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Have you missed my forays into Bollywood?

 

Well, say no more!

 

Tonight, we're going back to where it ALL started.

 

Okay, maybe not everything, but we're definitely going back to where the YRF spyverse actually began, although doing some digging it turns out that the first three movies were actually considered standalones until Pathaan came along and tied them all together.

 

I guess you just need SRK to make it a family party, right?

 

Anyway, the movie we'll be talking about tonight is a respectable age old at this point in time, going toward the 15 year marker, so it's been a bit, and honestly it occasionally shows its age in that there are plenty of the 2010s tropes in there you can recognize.

 

But it's also a neat action movie, so let's jump into Ek Tha Tiger!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

 

"With certain people, things just seem better by spending time with them."

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome back.

 

Tonight, we're taking a look at something ... a heck of a lot different from what I usually watch.

 

I mean, just look at the title!

 

But I've been meaning to slowly ease myself into the Bollywood scene for a long time now, and as I was chatting to one of my best friends, she suggested this should be my starting point.

 

I'd had other movies starring Deepika Padukone already lined up, but this one preceded the lot, so I thought to myself: well, why not?

 

I like starting from the earliest starting point, after all!

 

Turns out it was the best decision I've ever made, and I can see why this movie holds a practically cult status. I mean, how can it not?!

Enough chattering. Let's have a look at what in plain English would be called This Youth is Devoted, but originally stands as Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.
