My Name is Khan (2010)

 
This one took a while for me to watch because it is a 9/11 movie.  I kept wanting to watch it because I love Shahrukh and Kajol and people kept recommending it to me, but didn't want to watch a sad 9/11 type deal.  This movie is great.  It's not so much about 9/11 as it is about the racism that followed 9/11.

Cocktail (2012)


I awaited this to come on to video in the US ever since I saw a preview for it, so like since it came out.  I wanted to watch it because Saif Ali Khan and it looked funny.  It did not disappoint me.  It is a strangely typical yet random film.  It's obviously a romcom love triangle type deal, but while it follows the predictable, it's still surprised me several times.  Also, it's only have romance and the other half is focused on friends and loyalty.

Kuch Naa Kaho (2003)


This is a cheesy lighthearted show that was fun to watch.  Also it had every single trope, especially when it comes to the musical numbers.  There is an engagement dance number, a fall in love song with weird costumes and scenery (including flower covered rafts), the club dance number.  Plot wise there are misunderstandings, cute kids to clear up those problems, jerk exes, big resolutions at weddings, the works.  That doesn't make it less fun to watch.  It's a very fun movie to watch.

Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007)


Watched this for Rani.  It's a very interesting film.  The title means something like "My veil is stained" and the tag line is "Journey of a Woman." This basically the story of a girl who, to save her family, becomes an "exclusive call girl" or fancy sauce prostitute.
