Your avatar is from His Girl Friday, right? If you can find it, check out Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, India's His Girl Friday remake/homage. A little uneven, but really fun. And same hero as Om Shanti Om. Shahrukh Khan has a very Cary Grant-like charm mixed with clowning (although, unlike Grant, no actual clown

I'm torn, because I would love to have the feature, but it would also be one of those things where I spend the whole time resenting that I'm not the one writing it.

Why would I ever own a poster where he isn't shirtless? Okay, that's a lie, I have 6 other SRK posters and he is more or less clothed in all the others. But they are smaller.

If you like Om Shanti Om, you should check out Vishal and Shekhar's newest soundtrack, Sultan (movie releasing in a few weeks). I have fallen completely in love with it. Oh, and Neerja. And Bang Bang. They have been on such a streak lately!

Confession: I have a 2 by 3 massive poster of Shahrukh from that song framed and hanging in my bathroom. I have no regrets.

I have a Bollywood blog at https://dontcallitbollywood…, I don't get many commentators, but we have a pretty good time talking to each other. Feel free to come over and check it out any time you want a discussion.

Caitlin, you are definitely not alone with Om Shanti Om! I literally wore out 2 DVDs of the thing, and I have shown it to I don't know how many other people all of whom love it. Plus, of course, Dhoom Tana was the song for Miss America Nina Davuluri danced to in her talent portion.

Did you ever listen to the Main Hoon Na director's commentary? Farah compares it with Superman, she says she got Nawazuddin Shah to agree to play Shahrukh's father by saying "Marlon Brando had to play Superman's Dad, and you have to take this role."

You know, it normally does! But at the moment, I just have pumpkin bread, ice cream, and frozen dosas.

You just made me laugh out loud alone in my apartment.

Hey, if you're in the Chicago area, it's also probably going to be available at AMC River East 21, Regal Cinemas at Old Orchard, AMC South Barrington, Regal Warrenton, Cantera in Rosemount, the all Indian theater in Niles, and maybe the Century in Evanston.

Oh, okay! So, the first one that matters then.

India's first superhero movie? Except for Mr. India, Koi Mil Gaya, Krrish, Krrish 2, Ra.One, and The Flying Jatt, which is coming out in a few weeks. Oh, and Shahenshah.

Her last movie, Bells are Ringing, is also worth checking out. A Comden and Green musical, I think written for her, it was a huge Broadway hit and then turned into a movie with Holliday and Dean Martin. Great part for her, Dean is charmingly alcholic, and the songs were so good they became standards (The Party's

With all the "Darden-Clark sexual tension lead to the Glove mistake" and "OJ's team suckered them into it" and "Kardashian was only added to the team because of the garment bag" stuff in this episode, I think the title is actually supposed to be a meta-statement on the episode.

And number 11 is Aamir Khan, one of the most popular actors in the world. That's sad, I was really expecting he would be #1.

One thing I hope they deal with more (or at all), is that Rafael and Luisa are half-siblings with different mothers, just like Petra's daughters and Mateo will be. It would be really really great if the tied an arch about Rafael and Luisa re-discovering their connection to Rafael thinking about how he wants to blend

Yeah, I feel like the "bubble" scene with him at the pool was so clearly about Jane and Mateo moving away from him, not Jane herself. I would love it if, once Petra's kids are born, he realizes fully how much his feelings for Jane were just about wanting the "perfect family", by seeing how he feels the same thing for

There was something the review didn't catch, that I feel like was actually the main theme of the episode. The big connection between the Jane and Rafe and Petra plots and the Xo and Ro and even the Luisa plots is about the effects of these break-ups on the children. Jane having to choose between Xo and Ro is the

There's actually a third adaptation from India, Nishabd, which is more of Lolita combined with American Beauty (although it was promoted as just a Lolita adaptation). It isn't a terribly good movie, I only mention it because the teenage actress who was "discovered" for the Lolita part killed herself a few years
