Are you equating Shashi with Joey?!!! You wouldnt do that. Right? (Not even when he has Joey's expression down pat.)

FAB post. My dil certainly goes mmm... after seeing this. :-)

This reminds me of one of my favorite Shashi moments ever (well, so far, and apart from the bunnies): in "Kabhi Kabhie," the heroine is in the classic dilemna, forbidden to marry the man she loves, forced to marry another! But then comes the wedding night, and she's like, "Hey, but they're marrying me off to SHASHI. I think I can make the best of this."

bollyviewer - Joey is as Joey does :) But CLEARLY if the Kapoor brothers were cast in Friends, Shammi would be Joey, Raj would be mopey Ross, and Shashi, who can be very dry and droll, is Chandler. YESSS!

veracious - Somehow in all my riffling through my screencaps this week, I'd never noticed that one before. It had to be included!

Anarchvaist - Yes, that's one of my favorites too, even though I know I'm projecting my prior knowledge of Shashi role types on to poor Rakhee's basically unknown situation. But yeah, I love how she seems quite anxious on wedding night and in the morning she's just as happy as he is. The third-from-bottom photo of them is from that morning. I love that they're having fun, it's just so cute. I did have some screen caps of the night before, but despite him looking 110% scrumptious and romantic, she looks so unhappy that it just seemed creepy to include them on a post about luuuurve.

the Kapoor family tree

Image
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

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.
