Talkie Tuesday: Mujhse Dosti Karoge!

 

"Love is sacrifice."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm finally back, after pretty much living like a vampire for the past ten-ish days or so.

 

I generally have no problems getting up in the middle of the night and heading into work, but truth be told it IS nice to be back on afternoon shifts for a little while. I have to admit as much!

 

That said, with afternoon shifts and my schedule evening out a bit (for now ...), it's back to the drawing board, baby, and with it, my review posts.

 

Tonight's movie of choice is a return to old school Bollywood and, yes, you should have seen it coming, that I'll be going back that is.

 

Because I love Bollywood movies. I tend to enjoy some of their campiness and silliness, and their stories usually bring a lot of laughter, general happy feelings, and a sense of amusement as well as contentment in the end.

 

So buckle up, because we're headed back to the start of the 2000s, and that includes layered tops, velvet denim, and Mujhse Dosti Karoge!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

 

"Sometimes, the youngsters in the house show the right path to the elders in the family."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back ... again.

 

I'm not even going to apologize anymore.

 

At this point, it's safe to say that I'm in my Bollywood era, which means that I'm trying to cram as many of these into my psyche as I possibly can, within reason of being able to watch that is, since binge-watching anything is out of the question for me.

 

My eyes and head need breaks!

 

But this movie caught me right in the feels, and while I PROMISED myself I'd hit pause at the intermission (a regular, sure thing in these old Bollywood classics), I knew I didn't have work the next day so I kinda just ... kept watching. LOL.

 

I've since watched it two times already, and will probably do so again very soon. There's a reason this thing is called a classic! 

 

Let's have a look at Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Asoka

 

"Whose journey can be greater than that of an emperor?" 

Hello everyone!

And we are back with yet another Bollywood extravaganza.

I won't even apologize anymore, at this point I've come to resign myself to the fact that about half my blog posts will be about some Hindi movie or other, haha!

Tonight's choice is a historical, epic drama, however, something which I hope will appeal to a lot of the readers who click on these links.

How did I end up watching it? Well, considering the main actor isn't my personal favourite (he's alright, but nah), I kind of landed in it mostly by accident because I was bored, had nothing to do, and it popped up on Netflix (speaking of, Kalki just released on the same platform ...).

So there I was, liking the main actress, and deciding, sure, why not?

Which means we're headed back into the past tonight, everyone, to discuss a movie titled Asoka.
