Bollywood is For Lovers

Watching DHARAM VEER for the next @bollywoodpod.bsky.social episode. Is this possibly the best movie of all time? There’s a hyper-intelligent falcon and Pran fistfights a tiger all within the first ten minutes…

EK THI DAAYAN (Kannan Iyer, 2013)

Whoa no way:

Netflix and Dil: Pilot Season Teen There hasn't been much drawing us out to the theatre these days, so we asked ourselves, is there anything to watch at home? That's right lovers, it's time for another pilot season where we...

On the latest podcast, we watched the first episodes of six new Hindi-language TV shows to figure out what we should cover next:

We watched the first ep for Pilot Season and it’s okish? You could also just look at a shirtless picture of Ishaan Khatter and get the same experience lol

Supplemental Episode 22: Om Shanti Om - Endless Cycle of Love In this supplemental we travel to Japan to see Om Shanti Om, Takarazuka style.

Here’s our latest episode, where we talked about the Takarazuka Revue’s adaptation of Farah Khan’s OM SHANTI OM: audioboom.com/posts/870904...

Watching AAJA NACHLE for the next @bollywoodpod.bsky.social. Madhuri is like “this Kunal Kapoor guy is wrecking my shit so sexily…”

Netflix and Dil: The Roshans and Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, or The Little Family That Could We watched the latest in the ongoing series of Bollywood family-based puff pieces, Netflix's The Roshans, as well as the debut film of Hrithik Roshan, Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai.

For the latest episode we watched THE ROSHANS, but also watched a movie too so we’d have something to talk about, lol audioboom.com/posts/866079...

A long time in the making, and I really didn't think I had it in me but my book on Indian Parallel Cinema will finally be available tomorrow...

Come for the violence, stay for the crazy sunglasses? (M)

MARD ruled, especially the animal companions (M)

Somehow the glasses in this movie are even stupider than the ones in BABY JOHN

Anil Kapoor's 2000s: Bulandi, Calcutta Mail, and Welcome We return to our Anil Kapoor decades series with three films from the 2000s: a double role, an action mystery, and an ensemble comedy.

Here’s the latest in our Anil Kapoor decades series, where AK tackles his trickiest decade yet, the 2000s: audioboom.com/posts/865143...

I guess that means we need to finish this Anil Kapoor episode then? (M)

Watching THE ROSHANS for an upcoming @bollywoodpod.bsky.social episode. Who do you think is more likely to sit for an interview in this thing, Kangana Ranaut or Jadoo? #desiwatch

2024 Year End Review 2024 has come and gone, and before we start to get excited about what movies the new year will bring us, we must first look back at the highs and the lows of Bollywood’s past six months.

It’s been a while, but here’s the 2024 Year End episode of Bollywood is For Lovers! We’ll let you guess based on the thumbnail what our favourite movie of the year was… audioboom.com/posts/863831... #desiwatch

Watched KHO GAYE HUM KAHAN last night for @bollywoodpod.bsky.social’s year-end wrap up. The comparisons to DIL CHAHTA HAI are not unwarranted in that KGHK is also super overrated

Detective Vidya-chu: Bobby Jasoos and Neeyat We are on the case with Bollywood's leading actress, the incomparable Vidya Balan, will we solve it before she does? Listen to find out!

Here’s the latest episode of Bollywood is for Lovers, where we check out some more Vidya Balan detective pictures. She’s the best! audioboom.com/posts/841682...

Sujoy (Ghosh) Division: Kahaani and Jaane Jaan To celebrate Noirvember this year, we delve into the catalogue of Sujoy Ghosh with the (not exactly noir) thrillers Kahaani and this year's Netflix release Jaane Jaan.

Also since I forgot, here’s our prior episode on Sujoy Ghosh movies. I think the pun works: audioboom.com/posts/840886... #desiwatch

TIGER 3 was the worst of the YRF Spy Universe so far, but that has more to do with the quality of the franchise than it bring bad. They’re all enjoyable!

Halloween IX: Interview With the Dentist, or Dedflix and Kill (Again) Happy (belated) Halloween Lovers! We may be late but our tradition of exploring all things spooky that Hindi cinema has to offer lives on! This year we are sinking our teeth into Netflix's romanti...

Here’s our episode on TOOTH PARI! No dentists were hurt badly while making this one: audioboom.com/posts/839997...

New Hindi movies on Amazon Prime and Zee5, plus new Tamil films and series on Prime and Hulu. Find out what to watch where in today’s Streaming Video News: accessbollywood.net/2023/11/09/s...

Watching TOOTH PARI for the next @bollywoodpod.bsky.social episode. This might be the most interesting vampire thing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s way better than any other Hindi take on the material: m.imdb.com/title/tt2719...
