Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996) – Fiercely Feminist Rani, Regressive Plot and Love (blegh) Solves All

~ Kirre Ranin ~ 1 Comment

I seem to be in a 90s kick right now, but who can blame me when the current film roster is not as appealing right now, and at school I cannot see the newest releases in the theatre. I guess I am just curious to see the early performances of actors and actresses who we … Continue reading Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996) – Fiercely Feminist Rani, Regressive Plot and Love (blegh) Solves All

This is a well done movie. It is also a very comforting movie. It has that charm and a kind of innocence on a small scale that the early 90s Indian romantic movies have before the grandeur of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge hit the following year, and after it Yash Chopra's and Karan Johar's romantic … Continue reading Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1994) – Sweet 90s Candy-coloured Love

Kajol is full … Continue reading Minsara Kanavu (1997) – A Simple Story of Desire and Devotion

Rangeela (1995) – A Colourful Love Triangle with Two Strong Shades and One Clear One

~ Kirre Ranin ~ 1 Comment

I haven't done a review in a while. Been in a kind of a slump, partly because I didn't want to burn myself out, then there's the fact that I didn't know what I should review and then - on a personal matter - a family tragedy happened unexpectedly that effected things. Well, now I … Continue reading Rangeela (1995) – A Colourful Love Triangle with Two Strong Shades and One Clear One
