So… I may be late to the party.
And maybe it’s because y’all talk about him all the time.
Or maybe cuz #YehJawaaniHaiDeewani plays in my house 19 times a week—
But I am SHOCKED to realize #AyanMukherji didn’t direct a movie for almost 10 years since that until #Brahmastra!?

#War2 is another example of #Bollywood making movies on paper.
Usually it’s ‘stars’ driving— everything.
But now it’s also—
Songs shot as reels.
Scenes structured around cool slo-mo frames.
Plot driven by one-liners.
Resulting in lifeless shots w zero emotional investment.

Umm. Surprised seeing that #AyanMukherji is one of the (many) credited screenwriters of #Swades !?
Which makes his directing #War2 even more unforgivable imo. Lol.
Given his (insanely awesome) past work, is this one of those, he’s ‘contractually held hostage by YRF’ deals?

I did not enjoy #War2.
The action sequences are so jarring and cut so haphazardly that it was actually nauseating. And unnecessary, given both leads are great w action.
#KiaraAdvani shines with the 4 scenes she gets.
Despite an okay performance, NTR was miscast imo.

Let's try something.
I was thinking about how for many #Bollywood actors, their 2nd/3rd role is always the game changer. The one that proves their talent/belonging.
Messy characters, gritty roles, complete counter programming subject matter, crime drama, etc.
I'll start.

I'm well into #War2, and never have I ever felt a LACK of Tiger Shroff in a movie, as hard as I'm feeling it now.
And that too, in a Hrithik movie?! Unheard of!!

Hrithik’s intro in #War2 basically calling back to the first movie, but this time even his victims are in awe of his hotness— is the appropriate escalation I want in a sequel.
If the whole movie is just the 1st, but the outrageous & goofy ramped up— I’m in for a good time!

I’m SECONDS into #War2 & already I have so many questions. Mostly CGI Wolf related—
Is Hrithik’s intro this time from the wolf’s POV? The wolf gaze?
So Hrithik’s hotness transcends species, causing even a wolf to submit at his mere presence?!
Close up of the wolf’s eyes 👏🏽

I like Shane Black.
Although, while I enjoy *most* of his movies, I would love to see someone else direct his screenplays.
Because the writing is always tight— but execution somehow falters somewhere along the way. Not always. But mostly.

This is how ADHD hyper fixation works, I guess.
I should be catching on S2 of #Peacemaker, but instead, that #Chandni line in the Danger song from #ParamSundari made me go watch Chandni for the first time ever— and I do not like Rishi Kapoor in that movie.

I’m revisiting the #WWEAttitudeEra (thanks #Netflix) and my God!!
The #TripleH & #StoneColdSteveAustin tag team / world championship run and rivalry with #Undertaker & #Kane — holy shit!
Storylines today feel SO tame by comparison.

How is it that #IbrahimAliKhan is more likeable and hilarious in his one-line outrageous cameo in #TheBadsOfBollywood—
Than the entire runtime of whatever improv sketch of a debut movie that he did.

I think my favourite version of SRK playing himself, is the insecure and antagonistic SRK he plays in #TheBadsOfBollywood. 🤣🤣
Not the best cameo imo, but still a lot of fun!

The SRK cameo in #TheBadsOfBollywood reminded me how long it’s been since SRK has done one of his classic type roles. The excitable, comedic, underdog hero.
While I love Pathaan and Jawan— I always preferrrd SRK when his characters aren’t badass and heroic through out.

I was not prepared for how good #TheBadsOfBollywood is!
I got burnt out from the wave after wave of #Bollywood streaming crime thrillers & gangster dramas.
So this action rom-com masala movie concept expanded into a long form series is very refreshing. & executed brilliantly!

Totally was not expecting to like THIS specific part of #TheBadsOfBollywood —
But I am loving that there are countless variations for the English translation of ‘chootiye’ in the subtitles.
I don’t think they ever used the same word twice. So far… 🤣🤣🤣

So far into episode 1 of #TheBadsOfBollywood and I’ve been pretty mixed.
But when you do a #BobbyDeol entrance scene with an electric guitar version of the Soldier theme song—
Fuck you, I’m in!!

A Indian remake of #TheAdjustmentBureau?
Fascinating! I'm curious to see how they adapt the concepts of free will, destiny & eternal love for an Indian audience.
Realizing now, how those are actually tailor-made for the industry! #SplitScreenPodcast

Perks of having kids early was the anticipation that in 17 years we’ll have an in-house designated driver for all our ‘wild nights’.
Only for that day to come and realize that we don’t even enjoy drinking that much anymore.

I feel like those words, that inspire and enrage, will resonate through history, both in fiction and reality.

I remember not being a fan of the originals. But I was an actual kid at the time. Also dumb.
But anytime #LiamNeeson has tried comedy, it’s worked for me. LOVED, actually. And I can’t not check out what many say is the year’s best comedy.
