Two things you must know: 1. I love Hindi films. 2. I make fun of those I love.ajnabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08296593338690811213noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182850279880961768.post-11199866633105843992010-04-26T06:00:00.000-07:002010-04-26T13:55:11.169-07:00

Previously: Anjali was on speed, and Rohan sped along.We're in a massive ballroom, festooned with evergreen garlands and Christmas lights, with a gigantic chandelier (I wonder if Shweta added it to the list) in the center. Party guests mill around while Rani sashays to the front and center of a stage. Naina starts singing a breathy version of "Happy Birthday to You," and while it doesn't include

Last time: Rahul strung Tina along, but only till he caught Anjali dancing.Back at the convertible, Rohan is still waving his hand in front of his nose, which is wrinkled in disgust, and remarking on how "down-market" his surroundings are. Because it's always good to let everyone around you know that you think their neighborhood stinks! "Where's bhaiyya gone?" he wonders, and sets off to find out

Previously: Rahul made a rash promise, and Anjali was very loud.In Naina's convertible, Rahul clasps his hands before him and says, "Main hoon na?" Naina's not having any of it: "Oh shut up Rahul. You behaved very badly today." She keeps scolding him over his insincere apology. "You didn't eat, dance, or even talk to anyone at the party tonight." I agree with Naina; it's one thing to get bored

Previously: Rahul was a dick on multiple fronts.New scene: Yash disembarks from a helicopter, thanks the pilot, and says to his assistant who's waiting on the tarmac: "Cancel my appointments and set one up for my son at 10:00." The assistant agrees. Yash turns to look at the chopper, and just to rub in the fact that he's rich, muses, "Nice machine. Got to get a couple more of these things." His

Last Time: THE BIGGEST DIWALI EVER.Outside the Raichand mansion, Rani and Rahul are running in exercise gear. Rani is in the lead with Rahul perving, "Come here, come here!" Winded from their 5-second sprint in front of the cameras, the two start ambling side-by-side. "Oh, God, it's so good I've come home," says Rahul, stretching. "Yes it is," replies Rani, with way too much fervor, which she

Previously: Rohan found out his absentee brother Rahul was adopted.Huge-ass house that looks like it's in England, but what do I know? Title card: Raichand House, Diwali, 10 Years Ago. So I guess it's in India.Inside the house: a woman dumps flower petals at three gods' feet. Camera zoom in on Yash as he hears the woman singing worship in another room and turns, probably because he thinks it's

Previously: Rohan won a cricket match.Flash to a massive, massive house that most people could fit their entire extended family into, plus some livestock. There's a bunch of people sitting in rows in a fashion that usually means "church" to me. A couple of women are singing a hymn. Into a microphone. They have a home church! Or would you call it a home temple? There are guys in the congregation

Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was, at the time of its 2001 release, the highest-grossing Hindi film, ever. With an all-star cast including heavyweights Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, and Farida Jalal, the film served the dual purpose of reuniting the main players from Johar's previous hit Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and making viewers bawl
