Thanks to you Beth!

A big hi to Banno as well, old friend from R/L :) Didn't know you hung out here as well (I'm fairly new).

The issue after SRK we're not carrying the GenNext section but the one after that has one more person (blog) featured who is on THIS comments page :) Not letting any more out hehe ;)

For all the bloggers who are on Facebook, do join the Filmfare community and Inshah Allah, we'll have a lot more of this internet madness translated into the magazine :) by all your support.

You make me proud to be an American Beth! Wonderful! Shabash! I was so happy to see this and I had not yet seen your work on villain liars, which was fantastic. So glad to be reminded of those silhouetted go go girls in Parvarish.

All the best!

Finally remembered to pick up a copy of Film Fare when I was out tonight. I resisted the temptation to stop people on the pavements and say "Yeh meri saheli hai!"

To everyone - THANK YOU. :) I am completely amazed and delighted that they included me, and I am so touched by all of your kind comments.

I think my favorite part of the spread is that Mini Khan made it in there :) And the Parvarish lair.

And hey, Veracious's ...So They Dance was the kick-off site in Filmfare's blog series!

i watched the movie rab ne banadi jodi today and i wanna say something:
i am feeling overwhelming. i can say why some people did not like it. because it is too much pure or you can say its over sanitised. well in this age of sex and the city and kitchen confiditial and desperate housewives some people might think that it cant be possible even in dreams a story of a movie so innocent. well thats the truth but people some where in their lives try to become pure. so nobody cant hate this m,ovie......i just love it i i will love it no matter what others say

the Kapoor family tree

For all your Kapoor Khazana reference needs (and beyond), here is a Kapoor family tree. This image is courtesy of Madhu Jain's book The Kapoors: The First Family of Indian Cinema (Penguin Books India, 2005). Click the picture to enlarge to legible size. The dates and underlining are my own. My notations indicate who is of what generation: double underlines are for Prithviraj's children; single underlines are for their children; dashed lines for their children; etc. If you'd rather read, the family tree goes like this, color-coded by major branch and with the names you probably recognize in bold: first and second generations: Prithviraj Kapoor (born 1906) is the father of Raj (Ranbir Raj, born 1924), Shammi (Shamsher Raj, 1931), and Shashi (Balbir Raj, 1938). Prithviraj and his wife Ramsarni (Rama) also had a daughter, Urmi (between Shammi and Shashi), and two children who died, Ravinder and Devinder. Prithviraj has a brother named Trilok Kapoor , who is a

Hey, everyone - hi. This is Beth. I am absolutely fascinated with the question of who is reading this, and my curiosity is further piqued by the growth of the happy little dots on my ClustrMap . Either there is some creative ISPing going on here, or I see people visiting from India, Singapore, Mauritius, South Africa, Europe, South America, Canada, and the US. (Special shout-out to Canada! I'm an honourary Canadian! I love you guys!) Anyway, hello to you all! I don't like how most guestbook thingies on websites seem to work, so instead I invite everyone who stops by to leave a little comment on this post (this will also be linked from the nav bar) and say hi and share why you like or are interested in Bollywood - and what brought you here. Thanks! And don't forget to have a snack before you go - they're on the table over there. Punch, too.

Alternate title: by far the least of the movies starting with "D" released in fall 2006. My favorite part of this movie is from about 7:40 to 8:10 in, during the title song, when Hrithik is dancing under the rafters and in front of the round window. In my opinion, the best bits of this song, when he's by himself doing his rubber-limbed tap-dance-y moves, are almost as good as Lakshya 's "Main Aise Kyon Hoon" and I watched them over and over. After that, I think my favorite moment was Uday's Baywatch -esque reverie. And how sad is that? This could have been so much fun, and it just wasn't. (As with the first Dhoom , I'm willing to give it some points for "good to watch with a bunch of other people in the theater," which I didn't get to do.) What went wrong? For starters, four of the six main characters are stupid and annoying beyond a level I could forgive. We've got the opportunity for a cool girl baddie, but no, Sunehri ch
