I need to give B&P a rewatch at some point, I think - people often ask me what I think of it and I really don't remember it well enough to comment intelligently.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-85056856356650947322011-08-12T14:48:34.223-05:002011-08-12T14:48:34.223-05:00Ohh, you should.

I had a great experience in the UIUC Hindi program. <br /><br />I don't think I remember a Susan, but I think the years I took the class were 2007-2009. Maybe we missed each other.<br /><br />Wow, small world. Nice meeting you! I dig your blog!<br /><br />I liked Bride and Prejudice too, but it's weird because I didn't watch it until after I'd watched a bunch of Bollywood movies, and I think I was kind of disappointed by the English songs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15596800739467565001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-24748125465769133182011-08-12T14:36:29.524-05:002011-08-12T14:36:29.524-05:00Oooh!

I still haven't taken an actual Hindi class, but you may have met my friend Susan, who took a few years of Hindi in the mid 2000s.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-60399611524990341272011-08-12T14:31:28.907-05:002011-08-12T14:31:28.907-05:00Wow, cool!

I wonder if you were ever in my Hindi class? When I finished my course requirements but still had research to do, I started taking languages for fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15596800739467565001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-40875383519575567622011-08-12T14:22:16.423-05:002011-08-12T14:22:16.423-05:00KC - I bet we did!

After two degrees at UIUC, I now work for the university too :) Rentertainment is still goin' strong!<br /><br />As for the dance, I just meant that in addition to be horrendously cringe-worthy, it's a nod to snake films :)Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-90338351601978405522011-08-12T14:18:55.358-05:002011-08-12T14:18:55.358-05:00omg!

Did we go to school in the same town?<br /><br />I think Lagaan was my second or third Bollywood movie, after Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho.<br /><br />...did I miss what the cobra dance is "all about"?

Have you seen her amazing decade-by-decade "yearbooks" of actors? SO HANDY! <br /><br />And I agree, I have a whole new appreciation for the Cobra Dance now that I know what it's all about :D It's got an extra layer of awkwardness now. Though I must admit I have struck several snaky poses while brushing my teeth etc this week just to see what it's like to walk around with my hands cupped over my head.<br /><br />Memsaab - If you are repeating, I sure didn't remember, so I am glad you said so! :D I need to rewatch it - it's been ages!Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-65034883720664298032011-08-11T13:26:37.592-05:002011-08-11T13:26:37.592-05:00I think I might be repeating myself, but MDK was o...I think I might be repeating myself, but MDK was one of my first Hindi films and I loved it shamelessly :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-24623146094328673592011-08-11T00:19:28.552-05:002011-08-11T00:19:28.552-05:00It's so fun how all paths seem to lead back to...It's so fun how all paths seem to lead back to the first film you watched--during Lagaan Week, it occurred to me that my obsession with supporting actors started in that film.<br /><br />Also, it's so much fun to go back to the Snake Dance in B&P now that I've seen the source material!dustdevil lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564737263775943203noreply@blogger.com
