    Filmi Ladies episode 124: Juhi Chawla (superstars series 19)

    Bringing the energy we want for 2025, it's everyone's favorite bolt of sunshine: Juhi Chawla! In talking about a range of her films - Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Yes Boss (1997), and 3 Deewarein (2003) - we also discuss her unique traits, why she's so good with Shah Rukh Khan, whether comedy really is not as well regarded as drama, and what acting even IS. Did you expect all of that in an episode focused someone who's considered a bit of a lightweight? Neither did we, even though we most definitely love her.

    Filmi Ladies episode 123: snowy films ❄️

    Let it snow!! Snow conjures up visions of giddy delight, snowball fights, hijinks, romance, hushed wonder but also eerie, claustrophobic scenes invoking dread. We discuss two movies where being snowed in is a thing. Junglee (1961) and Gaddaar (1973). (Beth couldn't find Junglee with subtitles online, but Gaddaar is on the Internet Archive! https://archive.org/details/gaddaar-1973-hindi.-dv-drip.-480p.x-264.-aac.-arabic.-e.-subs.-chapters.-tmb.-by.juleyano) What are your favorite snow movies or songs?

    12/11/2024

    Filmi Ladies episode 121: Madhuri Dixit (superstars series 18)

    In her 40+ year career, Madhuri has out-acted her co-stars and peers, out-danced everyone, done films, streaming and reality shows and looked fabulous while doing it. We discuss Pukar (2000) (where she plays perhaps her only negative role?), Khel (1992), Deewana Mujhsa Nahi (1990), Khalnayak (1993) and Sailaab (1990). Tell us your favorite Mads movies!

    Filmi Ladies episode 120: women police officers getting stuff done!

    * This episode contains many spoilers for both films under discussion! * Both Anjali and Poo are grown up and being badass detectives in Do Patti (2024) and The Buckingham Murders (2023). While we enjoyed both movies, there were quite a few things that made us go HUH??? Kriti Sanon also turns in a Seeta aur Geeta twin role but it's all quite bleak.

    Filmi Ladies episode 119: Comfort Watch

    What do you watch when you need a hug from the screen? For us, it's American comedies When Harry Met Sally (1989) and Legally Blonde (2001). What, like it's hard?

  7. Filmi Ladies episode 118: Dharmatma

    11/20/2024

    Filmi Ladies episode 118: Dharmatma

    This week we focus on Feroz's Dharmatma, his 1975 adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972). * This episode contains spoilers for both the original and this adaptation! * * Content warning: this film is very violent towards women. It's violent in general, of course, but it feels extra brutal towards a few of its women, with at least one significant change from the arc of one of the original corresponding characters. We don't discuss this in-depth but please know that some scenes in this film are hard to watch. • Pitu approaches her first viewing of Dharmatma as a Godfather fan and especially likes its twist on handling Michael Corleone and his relationship to his family. Beth has seen it multiple times and it sates her love of 70s style and character actors. This film doesn't seem to get mentioned as often in discussions of Hindi gangster films as maybe it should, especially since it's the first of the Indian remakes of The Godfather, and as we go through its strengths and weaknesses, we come to some conclusions as to why.

    Filmi Ladies episode 117: Veer Zaara 20th Anniversary

    Veer Zara celebrates its 20 year anniversary and Pitu and Beth disagree on basically everything about it. 😆 The only things we agree on: • Preity's cute outfits • Srk's frosted boy band tips • Pretty visuals • Amit and Hema being charming • The importance of public service???
