May I be spared!<BR/><BR/>As for women in Bollywood, it would be even more interesting to know what the women in Bollywood think of their roles.

I looked online for pictures of this place and it's almost as horrifying without the dance numbers on top of it as it is with them! Next time you see HP, do watch the songs. They're awful. By which I mean "really funny."<BR/><BR/>CS - am so glad that someone as smart as you will validate my concerns here. And yes, super ew. I think there's probably a taker for almost anything, but the fact that this kind of image shows up a lot maybe indicates...no no no, ew. EW. I mean, somebody obviously likes shiny writhing women in large numbers. If I can find out who, I'll ask them what's going on.<BR/><BR/>Aparna - definitely. I'm always grateful when people tell me this kind of thing. Without all of you I would miss even more about the movies than I already do. And yes, the snake is there. Twice like this, and a few other times being held up by a scary muscleman guy. Poor snake. Poor item girl. Ew.<BR/><BR/>Velu - maybe I'll try it! But if it's as dialogue-driven, then I'll be just as lost, if not more so, since I do catch the odd snippet of Hindi by now. And I think I caught Paresh Rawal doing some spoonerisms, but maybe my hearing is off.<BR/><BR/>Maja - yes, she is the best. And I'll work on that post. Maybe it's one for Bollywoodbloggers, with everyone pitching in? I'm no expert, but lately I feel like I'm getting smacked in the face with a lot more that I'm finding objectionable lately. <BR/><BR/>Shouldn't Bollywood do a <I>Princess Bride</I> remake? How fun!<BR/><BR/>DC - Hee hee! Not even for Akshaye. Well, maybe for Akshaye.

She is the awesomestest. And you totally need to write a proper post on the whole women in media issue, I'd be really interested to read that.<BR/><BR/>The third picture is fab, the one with Akshay in a frilly shirt. Very The Princess Bride! <BR/><BR/>Reading the other comments, it seems Hera Pheri just doesn't work for us non-Hindi speakers, which is a shame because I think I might like it if I could understand it. I prefer dialogue-oriented to slapstick comedy (almost) any day.Majahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612706096369112723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1157543635839159862006-09-06T06:53:00.000-05:002006-09-06T06:53:00.000-05:00BethI watched the original in malayalam - Ranji Ra...Beth<BR/><BR/>I watched the original in malayalam - Ranji Rao Speaking, which was one of the biggest hits this side of the world. It technically does not even come anywhere near Hera Pheri, but still remains one of the most-loved films in Kerala.<BR/><BR/>:)Movie Mazaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795149371701803414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1157541814483697212006-09-06T06:23:00.000-05:002006-09-06T06:23:00.000-05:00Was the 'snake scene' there in hera pheri...how di...Was the 'snake scene' there in hera pheri...how did I miss it?<BR/>Btw, hera pheri is a total dialogue-oriented comedy, and not exactly slapstick, sso visually it is not as appealing as it is when you understand the dialogues. Also, there are many puns in there, so it will be difficult viewing.<BR/>I had watched it at home when I was in US, and now in india, I always watch it when it comes on TV.Aparnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465535925292456208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1157523272851030122006-09-06T01:14:00.000-05:002006-09-06T01:14:00.000-05:00> Gee, I wonder what a snake might represent?
