Dilwale (2015)

Diwale     Romance Action Comedy 7/10

This was maybe not the most cohesively put together film, but it made up for it in the special effects and definitely in the music and visuals.  There was a lot going on with this film story-wise, but since it was an action film it was on the shorter side, leaving only the bare minimum for story telling.  So this is not about the couples falling in love, its about what happened after, and history repeating itself, and then fates crossing again.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)

I couldn't not watch this show.  It's got Shahrukh, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor,  Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.  Seriously good popular actors.  It was a statement of the importance of family, love, and against social classes and stubbornness.

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.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

Romantic Comedy 8/10

So now well in my crush on Shahrukh, I watched Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.  This is the film that made Shahrukh and Kajol famous.  It's also the most famous Bollywood of all time.  It's still getting played in India.  It's the "All Time Blockbuster."  There is well reason for that.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)

I said Shahrukh made me love him in Kal Ho Naa Ho... well... hopeless now.  Kuch Kuch made me obsessed with him for life.  I think it's his hair.   His hair is soooooo sexy.  Especially in this one... especially that one scene where it's raining so his hair is wet, and he's wearing that open black shirt... yeah.  I'm a goner.  Shahrukh, why you make me love you?!?!

Yeh Dillagi! (1994)

So, letting my actor crush decide what to watch next is not the best thing to do always, although it usually produces some kind of results.  I guess that was what lead me to watch Fanaa all too soon, but in the case of looking for Saif Ali Khan films, it lead me to discover Yeh Dillagi!

Fanaa (2006)

So following my friend's advice I looked for more Aamir Khan films as I approached the world of Bollywood. Fanaa was probably not the best choice for an armature such as I. Like most Aamir Khan films, Fanaa has an agenda and political message. It actually caused a lot of controversy when it first was released, as the main plot of the film has to do with terrorism and regional conflicts and prejudice.
