That is Bajirao Mastani! Priyanka plays the first wife, Deepika plays the more-loved second wife, Ranveer shaves his head.

And now they are about to be in a movie together! Any bets on whether Deepika will draw Bajirao up, or Priyanka will draw it down, or if it will land somewhere in the middle?

Thank you! I will continue to avoid it then.

I have a friend who really hates Ranbir Kapoor, who finds the title "Barfi" very appropriate for a film starring him.

I actually found her surprisingly affecting in her scene with Anil Kapoor in Salaam-E-Ishq, but that film kind of leaned into her mannerisms, since she was supposed to be over-acting and overly mannered for much of it. Then when she dropped the act, it was that much more affecting.

My vote is, and always has been, for Priyanka Chopra can't act. But if I were one of the scriptwriters, I would start using that and decide to make her a brainwashed terrorist who is just pretending emotions.

I also had an issue with that, it feels related back to the forgiveness towards the LDS recruit for having a relationship with a young girl. Like their public actions are able to negate any personal failures.

Oh thank goodness! I've thought for years that Priyanka was an over-rated actress, and just when the doting reviews/comments were making me question my own judgement, it starts turning around.

Bandra? My brother-in-law grew up around there (his Mom teaches at University of Mumbai).

I don't speak Hindi, because it is really hard to speak! There's that "d" that sounds like an "r" and the "kh" sound and all that. But I can more or less understand filmi Hindi. So yeah, I'm getting the voice and language stuff, it actually makes me dislike her more.

Oh my gosh, you met Rani!?!?!? That is so cool! She married Aditya Chopra, finally, after being rumored of being together for like five years. It was real quiet, in Italy, just their parents and siblings and Karan Johar. And then Mardaani came out, and then she took a year off, and then it just leaked that she is…

Okay, I get that. Alia is really freakishly pale, her grandfather was actually from Germany. And yet in films, she always plays an all Indian character, as though that skin tone is totally normal.

Kajol and Ajay were engaged for like 5 years, or, you know, engaged to be engaged. But either way, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to kiss Ajay's girl.

Oh! Rani is pregnant! I am so happy for her! But also, you know, won't be in movies for a while.

They did not kiss! (I only know this because I am obsessed with Shahrukh). Kajol never kissed onscreen, because she is a "nice girl" and also her husband would kill the guy. And Shahrukh refused to kiss onscreen ever ever ever, until Jab Tak Hain Jaan when he kissed Katrina, of all people!

Babirao Mastani, coming out Dec. 18th. She is playing Ranveer's older wife who loses him to Deepika. So actually, she is playing the wife of someone younger than her, who wants someone his own age. Which is just weird, I'm kind of curious how they are going to handle it.

So, I actually agree with you that Priyanka was good out of her batch of actresses (which would exclude Kajol, Rani, Preity, etc. who all started slightly before her). But I also think that was a remarkably weak batch of actresses. I mean, it was basically a bunch of Miss India's and Katrina Kaif. However, I think…

I feel like Kareena and Deepika both evolved a lot as actresses. Hate Kareena in K3G, hate Deepika in Bachane (sp?), but then in Jab We Met and Talaash, Kareena is just phenomenal. And Deepika, ever since Cocktail, brings so much to every role. Whereas I feel like Priyanka started out okay to good (depending on the…

I think the first mainstream film to have an explicit kiss was Raja Hindustani in 1996, so it is a fairly recent development. But I also read somewhere (and now of course I can't find it), that until the 90s kisses onscreen weren't just "frowned upon" by the Indian censor board, they were actually formally against…

I just watched the Angels in America miniseries, and that starts with a fairly "repressed and hateful" concept of Mormonism, but by the end has kind of an open minded and generous idea of them. But I don't know if that would be considered mass-media exactly. I know a couple of LDS members and former members, and…
