I had another fun movie night with Old Schoolfriend today. We met for lunch at Kabuki, one of (if not the) oldest Japanese restaurants in Helsinki ( Read more... )

I visited sassiefin today in order to watch some Bolly movies with her. She cooked us Indian food (Lamb curry from The Bollywood Cookbook) and I brought the wine. We started with The Outer World of Shahrukh Khan, a documentary on Shahrukh Khan (her DVD player wouldn't play the Inner World disc :P) and continued on with Dostana which was hilarious! Great fun ( Read more... )

I've just been listening to the Billu Barber OST, and I really like it. All those item songs with Shahrukh don't hurt at all :D. wasabi_girl1 already had a poll on which of the pairings would be everybody's favourite and I voted for Shahrukh and Kareena.

Asoka was the first Bollywood DVD I ever bought. At first I thought the hero looked a bit funny, but by ( Read more... )

Om Shanti Om was just as much fun as I remembered. It's got so many allusions to all kinds of filmi stuff that there's something new every time I see it. And this time as special since I got to see it in a movie theatre.

I still love the Filmfare sequence. And Mohabbat Man. And Dard-e-Disco. And the nods to Hrithik winning awards. And the Kapoor ( Read more... )

I had a fun day yesterday with Old Schoolfriend. We met for lunch and went to this Nepalese restaurant she knew. The food was delicious. Afterwards we went to her place for one of our irregular movie nights.

Yesterday's movies were Om Shanti Om, Lucky: No Time for Love and Jet Lag (or Décalage Horaire). Even though the plot in Farah Khan's OSO was ( Read more... )

sassiefin was on a visit today to watch some Bollywood movies with me. Unfortunately her copy of Om Shanti Om wouldn't play on my DVD player (it doesn't play on hers either, so it must be a faulty copy :P), but we settled for another Shahrukh Khan movie and watched Chak De! India which was really good ( Read more... )

I just saw a trailer for Farah Khan's upcoming film Om Shanti Om, starring Shahrukh Khan. All I can say is WOW! Shahrukh looks great in this trailer!!!

( Dard-e-Disco )

I picked up the festival tabloid showing some of the preliminary programming for this year's Helsinki International Film Festival (aka. Rakkautta ja Anarkiaa or 'Love and Anarchy') after work today, and yes, both the films that I hoped would be shown there do appear on the list. Now I get to see Rain on the big screen, playing a patient in a mental ( Read more... )

Yet another one pic picspam, this time to celebrate the news that Karan Johar is planning to do a new movie starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite Bolly pairing together again (even though after Asoka, I'd love to see Shahrukh and Kareena do another movie together as well...)! I do have some misgivings about the movie ( Read more... )

I visited Old Schoolfriend today, and together we watched Jaan-e-Mann starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta. Surprisinly enough, it was a *really* funny comedy. Indian humour is quite often a bit iffy to my taste, but this time it worked very well ( Read more... )
