Not Imran Khan being disgusted by this plot of a rom-com in I Hate Luv Storys (2010)

When that was literally him in his debut film. Down to singing a song. Like sir, this you?

You literally had the same name, even, in both these movies.

TLDR; In I Hate Luv Storys (2010), Imran Khan plays assistant director 'Jai' who comes to hate the plot of his own love story from his debut film where he, ironically, also plays a 'Jai' and people say Imran Khan does not have range?

#and this. my friends. is proof of not only how Bollywood makes superior romcoms by breaking the 4th wall with such references #but also how Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) is one of the best romcoms to ever have been made in the history of this genre #imran khan #bollywood #romcoms #romantic comedy #romantic comedies #films #film #movie #movies #bollywood music #bollywood movies #bollywood2 #bollywood edit #south asia #south asian #brown culture #india #indian #hindi #desi things #desiblr #jaane tu ya jaane na #i hate luv storys #sonam kapoor #genelia d'souza

the lovers of bengal

#.png #taking 'its gay af to be mughal' 2 a new level #had to spend some time researching the bengal school of art + indian contextual modernism for a project last month #and it was fascinatin g tbh but i feel like any research on south asian history is going to feel incomplete #without the mention of caste #like with the bengal school specifically it was like. um. indian revivalist art so like going back to mughal miniatures and iirc patachitra #but the framing of it as like 'going back to our ancestral roots' is funnyyyyy to me #but anyways this made me spiral into watching 70s ritwik ghatak documentary films #one of them was about bengali communists. there was a guy dressed up as lenin for a play #he looked like.one of my uncles it was so funny

Books on Indian Cinema | Cinema India by Ritwik Ghatak (1982) was prepared for the Cinema India programme at the National Film Theatre in London, under the aegis of the Festival of India 1982.

Ritwik Ghatak was a Bengali filmmaker and one of the pioneers of parallel cinema in India. He is known for his unique and innovative approach to filmmaking, which explored themes of migration, displacement, and cultural identity. His films often depicted the struggles of ordinary people and the harsh realities of life in post-partition India.

Ghatak's most famous films include "Meghe Dhaka Tara" (The Cloud-Capped Star), "Komol Gandhar" (E-Flat), and "Subarnarekha" (The Golden Thread). These films are characterized by their strong social and political commentary, use of non-professional actors, and poetic and lyrical storytelling.

Found this gem from my grandma's book collection.

I was going to make a joke post that the way “RRR” approaches history is like if America made a movie where a ridiculously buff Abraham Lincoln storms a Confederate base with just an axe and shotgun. And then at some point, Lincoln literally punches a cannon in order to disable it.

But then I remembered that “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter” exists.

Killers of the Flower Moon: Scorsese's Latest Deconstruction of American Violence

Scorsese's latest is another lengthy deconstruction of systemic American vioelnce, this time centered around the killings of Osage tribal members who suddenly became very wealthy. It is exquisite, and should be seen on the biggest screen possible.

“When oil is discovered in 1920s Oklahoma under Osage Nation land, the Osage people are murdered one by one – until the FBI steps in to unravel the mystery” reads most synopses of Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese’s latest deconstruction of the foundational violence creating modern American life. However, that is only the broadest history covered by the film and paints a deceptive…

A series of videos about arguably the most important war in American history, or at least the war most important to relations between Anglo-Americans and the natives.

If you don't want to watch the whole thing, I advise at least watching the first three videos. (Or the second and third; it's easy to skip the introduction, but don't skip the corrections.)
