    Om Shanti Om, Take 2

    Friends, this isn't the end, it's a new beginning! And we're not just talking about our podcast, but about our movie for this week. We're revisiting the absolute masterpiece that is Om Shanti Om, which in many ways for us is where it all began. Each time we watch this movie, we recognize more cameos, catch more references, and have a greater appreciation for the Hindi film industry (even as we criticize it and/or poke loving fun). It's been a joy being a guest in this world for the last several years, and there's more to come! Om Shanti Om was written and directed by Farah Khan and stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. A bittersweet reminder that this is our last regularly-scheduled episode, but please follow us on instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood and stay subscribed, so you can see when we release occasional new episodes going forward! And don't forget to check out our Bollywood Bangers playlists on YouTube and Spotify. Over the years we've added our favorite songs from our weekly movies, so they're quite extensive and a real treat.

    Charlie

    Before saying goodbye (for now), we had to take one more journey south to Kerala. So this week we're watching Charlie, a 2015 Malayalam film that gets us every time. Just like the film's protagonist, you can't help but get lost in the setting, the story, and the sweet sweet eyes of our titular character. Is DQ the most attractive any person has ever been in this movie? Quite possibly! Is that just an added bonus to a film that is warm, gentle, and reminds us of the small beauties of daily life? Absolutely. Charlie stars Parvathy Thiruvothu and Dulquer Salmaan, and was written and directed by Martin Prakkat. Like what you're hearing?

    Don (2006) and Don 2

    We've got a real bargain for you this week: two Dons for the price of one! Farhan Akhtar's 2006 remake of Don pays homage to the original while also adding wild twists and wilder costumes. And then Don 2 is a straight-up heist movie, which you know we love! These last two episodes have been a great foray into the type of action movie that we're sorely missing these days: ones that deliver ucomplicated thrills without nationalist, mysoginist undertones giving us the ick. These two films star Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Boman Irani. Akhtar wrote and directed both. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood.

    Don (1978)

    Friends, we've been waiting for this day for years: the day where we'd finally watch the original Don! And boy, did we have a blast. How could you not? There's intrigue, melodrama, revenge galore, and way more tight-rope walking than we expected. Not to mention Amitabh Bachchan in one of his most iconic roles! The film also stars Zeenat Aman and Iftekhar. It was directed by Chandra Barot and, of course, written by Salim-Javed. Like what you're hearing?

    Barfi!

    We're revisiting one of our old faves today, and boy are we glad we did! Barfi! is the "delightful" tale of a hearing and speech impaired man as he falls in and out of love and mistakenly kidnaps his soulmate. We both got more out of the movie than we had in past viewings: the importace of validation in any relationship, the need for someone who matches your whimsy, and that if your partner's ex crops you out of all of your pictures together, it's okay to be a little suspicious of them. Barfi was written and directed by Anurag Basu and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Ileana D'Cruz. Stay tuned till the end of the episode for some bittersweet news.

    Mohabbatein

    After three months of movies about death, violence, and emotional turmoil, this week's flick was a breath of fresh air. Or should we say, a leaf-laden autumnal breeze! Mohabbatein may not be perfect, but it reminded us of what we love about Yash Raj Bollywood: the music, the colors, the charismatic characters, and the exaggerated drama that still reveals a deep truth about the human condition. In this case, that any man who thinks he's more powerful than the sun probably deserves to be taken down a peg or two. Mohabbatein stars Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jimmy Shergil, Uday Chopra, and Jugal Hansraj. It was written and directed by Aditya Chopra. Like what you're hearing?

    Tere Ishk Mein

    You guys, no. This movie was not it. It needs to be said right out the gate: we do not endorse or condone any part of it, except for Kriti's adorable sweaters. If you haven't watched it yet, don't. And if you have, please accept our condolences, and join us in this thorough evisceration. Tere Ishk Mein was directed Aanand L. Rai and stars Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood. Can't get enough Bollywood?

    Thamma

    The Maddock Horror-Comedy Cinematic Universe is back, and not exactly better than ever. Maybe the complete opposite. Thamma was touted as the franchise's first all-out love story, but there's hardly any heart here. And we don't just mean because half the characters don't have a pulse. That lifelessness extends to their lack of growth, development, or relatability on any level. And the story is... well, let's just say there are more holes in it than the two little ones that come with your typical vampire attack. Thamma was directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Like what you're hearing?
