Loved the Sashi week, but Tashan is one Bollywood trash. Lets not call it Trash, god know it does not deserve a mention here. :) Even though.. Beth Loves Bollywood.

I love Tashan with all its flaws and Beth it is OK if you don't like it :)

If only bad subtitles were limited to very few Bollywood films instead of being the norm

Eh, that's pretty mild compared to "I just wanted to untie the family" in Main Hoon Na. Or "Beloved, let me glove you down," in Mauja Hi Mauja from Jab We Met. Hee. But I admit it made me LOL the first time I saw it.

@ Ebrahim, those are fighting words, my friend. Tashan is not a perfect movie but it's far from trash. Love Story 2050 on the other hand...

I've seen far worse subtitles! My favorite is when "his" and "her" are switched or when we have a TXT'er doing the subtitles giving us "Ur" and "U".

Unless Anil Kapoor's character is reading the subtitles, I don't think we have to worry too much about his English lesson. ;)

Ugh, Tashan is indeed trash. Subtitles are so annoying, I never watch dvds with them on. The fact that I am forced to watch them in theaters in the US gets on my nerves :-( Also, why does Bebo look so sullen in this pic?

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

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

because guests are as gods

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.
