Madhuri Dixit in Devdas (2002)

Dear Chandramukhi,
I remember watching Devdas and being instantly mesmerized by your character. You were inspired by Meerabai, who committed her life to Lord Krishna, just like you did to Devdas. While everyone pitied Paro - who was forcibly married into an affluent aristocratic family, caged in the lavish mansion - far away from her childhood sweetheart, I was drawn further by your enchantingly melancholic persona - "ek tawaif jogan ban gayi" ( "a courtesan became a devotee"). For a girl who was used for her body all her life in the rangeen kothi (bustling brothel), you were strikingly tethered to your soul.
But when Devdas entered, all bondage of yours was demolished and you finally felt free, only for you to miserably realize that you were just a distraction for Devdas, who loved and shall only ever love Paro. Someone like you was never meant to be truly cared for, that's what they said, it's what Devdas made you feel too in the end, in his own intoxicatingly bittersweet way. You accepted it all nevertheless with a fiercely sweet smile, just like you always had. And you still loved Dev, perhaps you had understood that some things never turn out the way we want them to, but when has that ever stopped us from falling in love? Your only fault that you did so while having been born 'lowly'.
On one day like this, Paro confronted you. Instead of reaping jealousy, you regarded Paro as a kind of Goddess who had the privilege of being showered Devdas's affection, so you bent to touch Paro's feet in deference. And what did Paro do in return? Mock your circumstances and taunt you for coming close to Dev - before complying to befriend you, later on. You had dealt humiliation through your entire life but you chose to suffer the most by Dev's anguish - seeing your love ruined by his love.
Paro and Devdas were eternally each other's souls, but there was no one to make unsung Chandramukhi whole. Paro and Devdas may have ended in tragedy to make us all weep, but Chandramukhi lived her broken tale that our hearts were too heavy to keep...

Maja Ma: Not A Film Review
If Bollywood make you roll your eyes, and you smell brain-dead urgh-ness with it – DON’T READ FURTHER. ‘Maja Ma’ is an awful film, which, if was in a heterosexual plot, I would have never tried to watch. Since it was not, I watched it and didn’t like the film. I quite despise the fact that I survived watching it. Big deal, a new film, I watched and didn’t like, so? To begin with, I am writing…

Amitabh Bachchan's Journey: From Bankruptcy to KBC and the Changing Bonds of Friendship
Tumblr media
Aanjjan Srivastav and Amitabh Bachchan shared a strong bond in the 90s, and their friendship began during the days of the movie "Shahenshah" when Aanjjan introduced Amitabh to his bank and helped him open an account there. However, things took a difficult turn for Amitabh before the launch of "Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC).
Tumblr media
During those times, there was a significant backlash against Amitabh, with protests and criticisms happening in Kolkata. Aanjjan visited the sets of "Toofan" to check on his friend, and he found Amitabh in a terrible state, both emotionally and due to an accident he had met with. People had accused him of financial mismanagement, mainly because of wrong bank statements related to his company, ABCL (Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited).
Aanjjan realized that Amitabh was innocent and had been misled by some people who provided false information to him. Instead of taking legal action, Aanjjan and his manager decided not to file any suits and trusted that Amitabh would repay the money when he could. They knew that his intentions were good and he had been unintentionally dragged into the matter.
Tumblr media
Amitabh was deeply grateful for Aanjjan's support and immediately promised to return the money as soon as possible. However, Aanjjan assured him that they were not there to demand repayment and urged him to be cautious in his financial transactions with other banks.
Eventually, Amitabh returned all the money, but his company, ABCL, had suffered massive losses, and he faced bankruptcy. However, he made a remarkable comeback with the iconic show "Kaun Banega Crorepati."
Unfortunately, despite their strong bond, Aanjjan noticed a change in Amitabh's behavior after KBC. The once warm and inviting gestures from Jaya Bachchan and the family, including Holi celebrations, stopped. Their relationship turned sour, and Aanjjan suspected that some people from the theatre circle might have instigated Amitabh against him.
While this turn of events did not affect Aanjjan's career, it did hurt him to lose the connection he once had with Amitabh. Nonetheless, he cherished the memories of their friendship and the support he provided during Amitabh's challenging times.

“Bada Dukh Dina” song from movie “Ram Lakhan” Bada Dukh Dina means “Don’t Make Me Suffer”
Sketch studies for Levi Ackerman in kathak dance study, facial expression, body pose.
This is a quite interesting for me as an illustrator, because I enjoy watching Bollywood dance numbers and visualizing male anime characters embodying these dances. Not sure if this is something I would describe as LGBT or feminist artwork, but this theme has always been leading me somewhere. It took me time to realize what drove me to create this work are thoughts on patriarchal values in Indian cinema industry. Indian actresses take the role of these classical Indian dances, and very few Indian actors are represented in classical dances like kathak and Bharatnatyam. The only male actors that take such roles always end up doing modern dances, club dancing, and Bhangra. There seems to little emphasis on men for dance numbers at the level of famous actresses like Madhuri Dixit presented in this example.
We all know Levi Ackerman is almost always presented almost like a K - pop star with his striking gaze and unique undercut. But it’s so masculine to a point where any girl will simp over him. I’ve seen fem Levi art, too. The problem is he’s always sexualized in styles I can’t describe in proper vocabulary. My goal was to steer him away from that direction and present him in a different light. As you can see, I am fascinated with cross-dressing. I love Indian dance attire so much to a point where I want to see anyone wear it, even the most masculine and grouchiest of men wear it. I feel that these emotional dances were built for Levi, the melodrama, the emotion, the pain, and expression would things out into Levi that anime could not present.

As I read the sad and longing expressions on Madhuri Dixit’s face, I can imagine Levi Ackerman embodying that as he yearns for Erwin Smith’s arrival to save him from the royal enslaving him to be a court dancer.

In this episode of recontextualizing ‘90s Bollywood films, we investigate how “Dil To Pagal Hai” depicts fraught polyamory and just how complicated polycules can actually be. In this essay I will… (Ok if any of you even hint at wanting to read more, I think I can actually write an essay on this - be warned) #diltopgalhai #madhuridixit #karismakapoor #akshaykumar #shahrukhkhan #bollywood #poly #polyamory #itsaboutadancetroupe #cmon https://www.instagram.com/p/CpP_WrTs-rH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
