2 White Girls Talk Bollywood

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?

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.

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?

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?

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?
