I am finally back! I wanted to watch another original vs remake thing, with me now watching the original Tamil version to the Hindi version back to back, though released in separate days. I guess I just needed something light, something good, and this film provided that for me in spades. Spoilers for the film … Continue reading Alai Payuthey (2000) – An Unfinished House Needs a Solid Foundation

Silsila (1981) – Affairs of the Heart in Real and Reel Life
There were many times in the past when I tried to watch this film, but could not, and stopped right at the beginning. Now that it is available on Netflix it is so much easier to watch, and I am so glad YRF made the decision to put most of their films there, since it … Continue reading Silsila (1981) – Affairs of the Heart in Real and Reel Life
Persepolis (2007) – Memoirs of an Iranian Exile
I have always loved graphic novels/comic books, but when reading this story for the first time it truly opened my eyes. Previously, I had seen the world through the eyes of comics like W.I.T.C.H., Disney Princess, Winx Club, Archie and Donald Duck or from mangas. My first graphic novel/comic book which I realized was meant … Continue reading Persepolis (2007) – Memoirs of an Iranian Exile
1942: A Love Story (1994) – The Revolution of Love Against Oppression
This is a re-review since I feel like I did not do a good job of doing it when I first posted a review of this film. Now with more maturity and more analysis skills. I also just wanted to rewatch this film once more. Spoilers for the film below! A man is to be … Continue reading 1942: A Love Story (1994) – The Revolution of Love Against Oppression
Lamhe (1991) – Moments of Love and Memory
This is one of my favorite films of all time, and might be one of my ultimate favorites from the director. Ever since I have seen this film it has stayed with me, and one which I love to bits for so many reasons. Spoilers for the film below! The first half tells the story … Continue reading Lamhe (1991) – Moments of Love and Memory
Sabrina (1954) – Cinderella in Givenchy
Sometimes you just have to write about a film which you don’t fully love, but like enough to watch occasionally. This is that kind of movie for me, it is not the best by the director, nor the best in the main actress's filmography, but it is still a dish served well and wittily enough … Continue reading Sabrina (1954) – Cinderella in Givenchy
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) – The First Time I Saw Myself In A Film
I have seen this film multiple times and will probably many times more. This is a classic for a reason, and it has been analyzed to death by this point. Last year was its 30th anniversary, which was celebrated with a statue in Leicester Square in London. It is a film that means many different … Continue reading Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) – The First Time I Saw Myself In A Film
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) – Love Changes, Friendship is Forever
New Year’s Eve has turned into New Year’s Day and I have once more watched YJHD to celebrate the changing of the year from 2025 to 2026. I cannot remember when it became a tradition for me to do this, but since I am not someone who gets invited to parties much, this is how … Continue reading Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) – Love Changes, Friendship is Forever
Band Baaja Baaraat (2010) – Mixing Business With Pleasure
With the celebrations of Christmas slowly coming to a close, I thought it was time to return to watching Indian cinema now that I have a little more time to spare while on holiday. Though there are never specific holiday themed films in India, except for maybe the Hindi-Tamil film Merry Christmas (2024) which I … Continue reading Band Baaja Baaraat (2010) – Mixing Business With Pleasure
Three Wishes for Cinderella (1973) – A Wintry Feminist Fairy Tale
With a tale with as many variants as Cinderella, there are bound to be different tones, and themes to be taken out of each one. Here, in Europe, in select countries like Slovakia, Norway, Germany, and the Czech Republic this is the ultimate Christmas film which is shown on television each year with the same … Continue reading Three Wishes for Cinderella (1973) – A Wintry Feminist Fairy Tale
