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?

roop ya gun?

gun.

aur roop?

wo to dekhne wali ki aankhon me hota hai.

arthaat?

kisi ko patthar me shivling dikhta hai aur kisi ko shivling me bhi patthar.

jeevan ka varnan teen shabdon me?

amrit, prem, aur tyaag.

prem kya hai?

ishwar ki aankh me ubhra hua khushi ka aansu.

aansu kya hai?

sukh aur dukh ki hadd.

sukh kya hai?

bhram.

ranbhoomi me sabse bada shastra kya hai?

himmat.

jeevan me sabse kathin ghadi?

pariksha ke baad parinaam ki.

aur sabse badi bhet?

aashirvaad.

one of my favourite scenes from the movie <3

padmaavat, 2018

This is the frst ever Pakistani hand-drawn anime movie. And it looks so good! Very excited to watch it :D

Since it's a local movie, I can't wait for this to be the first thing I watch on the big screen!

#the glassworker #will be released in both english and Urdu #i hope it would be available internationally but for now we just know it'll be played in cinemas here #all local artist my beloved #anime #anime movie #the visuals.. so good #and some good fucking representation finally #this looks like it's based on Indian subcontinent's history too #i can taste the anti colonialism narrative #Youtube #the only thing whichbothers me a slight bit is character using jinn's power. that's kinda wrong.#not sure how they'll sneak in that bit of lore and adjyst it so it doesn't feel like ... That (dunno how to explain iykyk)#i do like how he described the traits of jinns so well #that sand drawn isn't what they look like but they shapeshift so it doesn't matter

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.

I'm the previous anon who was talking about Indian Colonial history

I do follow you but I wanted to remain anonymous because I'm kinda shy 😭. You can call me Madhuri so that it's clear who I am

So I hadn't really put much thought into Shaan being a direct employee of the British monarchy until the other anon pointed it out and the more I think of it, the more weirded out I get because in a fictional novel, I feel that the author has the responsibility to make their content respectful to all groups of people and this move was kind of thoughtless.

Indians were treated like shit when the British governed our land. Basically, the British arrived as cloth traders and by creating this elaborate debt trap for rural weavers, they took over our economy and gained trade monopoly. They got some tax cessations from different kings and finally in the Battle of Plassey, they took over Bengal, a super super important place because it was in the plains, had a long coastline and was one of the most industrialised towns.

They started taxing people to hell and back with no regard for their well being. They told our kings they would provide them arms and forces to protect themselves against other rulers all while instigating whatever the opposite of peace is (I literally cannot think of a work for this, I'm so sorry)

Indians were forced to pay them, work for them without pay and make goods for them at extremely nominal amounts while the British got all the profit. We were kidnapped from our own lands and sent to plantations. There was this inland immigration act which did not allow workers to even exit tea gardens without written permission which was rarely given. They shut down our press and arrested our revolutionaries. Our people were forced to fight in the army. The first revolution actually started because the army was being forced to use bullets greased with pig fat and cow fat one of which was haram for muslims and the other was the product of an animal holy to the Hindus.

They decimated our country and the impact is still felt today.

I have watched a lot of movies about colonialism in India and one of the most chilling lines Ive heard was something along the lines of 'A bullet costs one pound by the time it reaches your gun Soldier. Are you really going to waste it on brown trash' this was followed by the soldiers beating a mother to death in front of her daughter and the entire village.

I'll recommend some movies to you. They are fiction but manage to capture the history so so well. You can find these on Netflix btw.

1) Lagaan- it's about taxation during a time of drought and a surreal way to escape it

2) RRR- honestly, I had watched some part of it but couldn't watch further because of how chilling it was and how hard it hit but it is considered to be amazing

3) Rang De Basanti- It's about college students shooting a film about freedom fighters and it alternates with the story of the revolutionaries and their parallels with the characters. These students are changed forever when one act makes them question the entire system and they become revolutionaries themselves. The ending was surprising and I could feel my heart being ripped out of my chest

Hey, Madhuri! No worries, I totally understand wanting to stay anonymous, I’m literally the same way on here so I get it.

Thank you so much for this! Yeah, my history classes definitely didn’t go over enough about any of this, but I’ll be reading more about everything this week, because it’s important and I want to learn more. It’s clear there is an entire history between Britain and India that I only know the very tip of, so thank you again for writing this all out. I’m sure a lot of people probably don’t know much about this (unfortunately, since our textbooks tend to… you know… veer on the side of the oppressors), so this will all be incredibly educational to anyone reading it. Feel free to send more my way whenever you want! I love this!

I’ve heard awesome things about RRR, but didn’t know what it was about. I’m gonna watch it this weekend! And that last movie sounds really good too! Thanks for the recs!!!

As for Shaan… I honestly think Casey just wasn’t thinking. This isn’t in defense of them, an author should always think about what they’re doing and how it could show up on page or screen, but I truthfully think they just wanted to fill that role with some sort of minority and picked Indian because of the large UK Indian population. I’d bet all of the money in my wallet ($20) that Casey doesn’t know any more than the vague basics of everything you’ve told me. I noticed that they described Nora, who’s Jewish, using some stereotypical Jewish traits too (I can write more on this if anyone wants, don’t want to hijack this post). It really was a guess-and-pick of races and ethnicities for them. I love how diverse the book is, but it’s sorta clear it was done for the spectacle, not for any real heartwarming reason. Casey knew it would probably sell better, since it would be talked about as an incredibly varied collection of characters, I don’t think they thought about more than that, or didn’t think it would matter because of the positives.

Do I think Casey meant any direct hurt with it? No.

Do I think that Casey’s lack of understanding or having any knowledge beyond their contained worldview causes harm indirectly? Yes.

Tamil actors play a pivotal role in Indian cinema, contributing to its rich diversity and helping it reach new heights. With legends like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan leading the way, and a new generation of talented actors like Vijay and Suriya making their mark, the future of Tamil cinema looks bright.
