2 White Girls Talk BollywoodHi NannaThis week is Kim's Birthday pick, so we're watching one of our more recent faves-- Hi Nanna! It's a Telugu flick about a young girl who is determined to make her single dad tell her the story of her mother. It's an immensely charming and somewhat fanciful movie that packs an emotional punch. We hope you love it as much as we do! Hi Nanna stars Mrunal Thakur and Nani, and was written and directed by Shouryuv. Like what you're hearing?

Chopsticks follows a woman as she hunts for her stolen car with the help of an enigmatic stranger. It’s a sweet, quiet comedy that never fails to warm our hearts. We hope you like it more than the critics on Rotten Tomatoes! Chopsticks stars Mithila Palkar and Abhay Deol. It was directed by Sachin Yardi. 2025-04-221h 092 White Girls Talk BollywoodDil To Pagal HaiBack to the 90s we go for a quintessential YRF, SRK romantic team-up! But really, this one's all about the ladies. Big-hearted Pooja and spunky Nisha couldn't be more different... but they've got two very important loves in common: dancing, and Rahul. This movie is full of color, romance, and more dance numbers than we can count. It was directed by Yash Chopra and stars Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, and Karisma Kapoor. 2024-11-191h 122 White Girls Talk BollywoodDo Patti Our love for Kriti Sanon and Kajol is no secret, so of course we had to watch Do Patti! And while it may not be a flawless film, it features spectacular performances from them both, and drives home an important and powerful message. Trigger warning: given the content of this movie, our recap this week involves several mentions of domestic violence. But we did our best to keep them brief, and there's no detailed depiction of the violence that takes place on screen. Do Patti stars Shaheer Sheikh alongside our aforementioned leading ladies. It was directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi...2024-11-121h 092 White Girls Talk BollywoodKabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham To celebrate the birthday of our favorite Bollywood Boy, we're watching a true early aughts gem. 3KG has it all-- emotional depth, fantastic performances, intense melodrama, and dance numbers that will make you want to say "Shava Shava"! We had a blast revisiting this classic, and we're sure you will too. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was written and directed by Karan Johar, and stars Shah Rukh Khan (i.e. the birthday boy), Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, and Jaya Bachchan.

All of our favorite heroes assemble for the sequel - and cross-over - we've been craving. Get ready for call backs and cameos galore!

Today's movie is Laapataa Ladies, which tells the story of two brides who accidentally swap places on their train ride to their new husbands' homes. Under the veil of a comedy/love story, this film is really about growth, independence, and self-actualization for women in rural India. We're so excited that this was India's pick for Best International Film at The Oscars, and...2024-10-221h 052 White Girls Talk BollywoodBhoothnath It's time for more spooktacular fun! Our next ghoulish flick is Bhoothnath, a family comedy about a curmudgeonly old ghost who is determined to scare anyone who sets foot in his house. Enter Banku, a troublemaking young boy, who is equally determined to befriend the ghost and adopt him as his new grandpa! Hijinks ensue, including some truly phenomenal dance numbers. Bhoothnath was directed by Vivek Sharma and stars Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla, and Aman Siddiqui. And of course, we have to mention the special appearance by Shah Rukh Khan.

And when a rom com also addresses prejudices and political issues, we love it even more! That's the case for this week's film, Luka Chuppi. The story follows a couple who wants to live together before getting married, who have to navigate their conservative families' values in order to do so. And even though it's five years old, it still feels very reflective of present day. The movie stars several of our faves: Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi. It was directed by Laxman Utekar. Like what you're...2024-10-081h 022 White Girls Talk BollywoodMunjyaIt's October 1st, and you know what that means: time to start watching some spooky flicks! This week, it's another installment in the Maddock Films horror comedy universe, Munjya. We've all got embarrassing family members, but imagine if you had a great uncle whose demonic spirit was stalking you, insisting you find him a bride! That's the situation our hero, Bittu, finds himself in. And if you, too, are in the same situation, we're sincerely sorry for you. Munjya stars Abhay Verma, Sharvari, and Sathyaraj. It was directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. Like what you're hearing?

Kalki 2898 AD mixes the dystopian, futuristic visuals of a Western Sci Fi classic together with Hindu mythology. And it also boasts a pan-Indian cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Prabhas (i.e. our newest South Asian crush) team up to create what can only be described as tropey goodness. Nag Ashwin wrote and directed the film, and we can't wait to see what comes next! Like what you're hearing?

As high as an acrobat in the Great Indian Circus. This third chapter sees our boys Jai and Ali jetting off to America, to put a stop to the tyranny of a mysterious clown bank robber (as in a clown who robs banks, not someone who robs clown banks). But every good villain has a motive, and the best villains also have a secret. Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif join Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra for this face-paced...2024-09-171h 092 White Girls Talk BollywoodDhoom 2It's Dhoom... again! This second installment in the action-packed franchise is even bigger, louder, and wilder than the first. We once more join Jai and Ali as they try to take down the cool, competent thief known simply as Mr. A. Get ready for roller blade chase scenes, romance, wet basketball, and even more heists than the first Dhoom. Oh, and did we mention the disguises? There's LOTS of disguises. Dhoom 2 once more stars Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra, alongside Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Bipasha Basu. It was directed by Sanjay Gadhvi. Like what you're hearing? Remember...2024-09-101h 142 White Girls Talk BollywoodDhoomFriends, we’ve been waiting since day one for this moment. The moment where we’d finally be talking about one of Bollywood’s biggest, fastest, most action packed franchises: Dhoom!! The time has come for motorcycle chases, fist fights, girl-crazed dance numbers, and shirtless basketball (in jeans!). And that’s just in the first movie! Dhoom stars Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, and John Abraham. It was directed by Sanjay Gadhvi. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on TikTok & Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood.

But this time, our real-life hero is fighting the system. How can a person achieve their dreams when so much of society is built to exclude them? Srikanth does it with a lot of snark, a lot of class, and A LOT of turning people's ignorant words against them. Srikanth stars Rajkummar Rao, Jyotika, and Alya F.

And our final sports movie brings us back to the very first gold medal won in any form of the Olympics for an independent India! Chandu Champion is truly a story of resilience and persevering against all odds-- so much so that if you didn't know it was a true story, you might think it was a little over the top. I mean really, how many times can one man make so much lemonade out of so many lemons?! Chandu Champion stars Kartik Aaryan, Vijay Raaz...2024-08-201h 132 White Girls Talk BollywoodSaviIf there's one thing we learned from this week's movie, it's that women truly can do anything: conspire to break people out of jail, solve and commit murders, and dispose of bodies, all while caring for their families. Savi is a dark comedy that explores the importance of freedom in all its forms, and questions assumptions about what it means to be "just" a wife and mother. It was directed by Abhinay Deo and stars Divya Khosla Kumar, Harshvardhan Rane, and Anil Kapoor. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on TikTok & Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood.

Superstition is deeply ingrained in sports of all kinds, but what happens when a team puts too much stock in luck, and not enough in their own grit? Our movie this week asks this question, and shows us how the flirtatious intermingling of luck and hard work is the true recipe for success. The Zoya Factor is based on the novel by Anuja Chauhan. It was directed by...2024-08-061h 172 White Girls Talk BollywoodJerseyThis week we're delivering not one, but two sports movies! But okay, maybe we cheated a bit-- because we watched both the Telugu original and the Hindi remake of the film Jersey. It's a story of triumph against all odds, and getting away with some rather selfish decisions under the guise of making sacrifices for your family. Jersey may not have had quite the emotional impact we were hoping for, but it certainly gave us a lot of opportunity to reflect on how little we understand cricket. The original Jersey stars Nani, Shraddha Srinath, and Sathyaraj. The remake stars...2024-07-301h 112 White Girls Talk BollywoodChak De IndiaThe Olympics are almost here! And what better way to celebrate the world's best athletes than with a bunch of inspirational sports movies? This week, we're watching Chak De India, which tells the story of the Indian Women's Hockey team as they fight for the recognition they deserve. Though the film stars Shah Rukh Khan, it's really about the strong, scrappy, empowering, and gifted women who (spoiler alert) bring the team to victory. Vidya Malvade, Sagarika Ghatge, Shilpa Shukla, Chitrashi Rawat, and Tanya Abrol make up the core cast. Chak De India was written by Jaideep Sahni, and directed...2024-07-231h 032 White Girls Talk BollywoodCrewWhat's the only thing better than a movie about a heist?

In his honor, we're watching one of his most acclaimed films, Gully Boy. Ranveer's is just one of many spectacular performances in this movie, which is a vibrant commentary on classism, the power of art, and the general awfulness of white people (sorry, everyone). Alia Bhatt, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Kalki Koechlin star alongside Ranveer. The film was written and directed by Zoya Akhtar. Also, please excuse the background noise in this episode... in addition to being one of our noisiest recording sessions, tech issues prevented us from doing the necessary editing...2024-07-091h 142 White Girls Talk BollywoodLooteraWho doesn't love a historical romance?

Despite the decades in between, Chopra's flair for the romantic and his ability to tell a sweeping love story that breaks your heart and makes your day are just as present here as they were in his earlier work. And while the slightly fantastical nature of Jab Tak Hai Jaan may require you to suspend some disbelief, we dare you not to fall in love with it. Jab Tak Hai Jaan was written by Aditya Chopra, and stars Shah Rukh...2024-05-211h 152 White Girls Talk BollywoodChandniThis week's movie marks a bunch of firsts for us: our first film directed by Yash Chopra, our first film from before the 90s, and our first film starring the incomparable Sridevi! And we had so much fun, we can guarantee it won't be our last movie in any of these categories. It's pretty much impossible not to fall in love with Chandni's charm, bright colors, fantastical dance sequences, and of course, its titular leading lady.

And while Shah Rukh was delightful as always, the emotional impact of a film like Dunki can't be ignored. While it doesn't exactly strike the ideal balance of comedy and drama, it sheds light on the important issue of dangerous immigration tactics, and left us thinking a lot about the plight of immigrants across the globe. Dunki was directed by Rajkumar Hirani, and alongside SRK stars Taapsee Pannu, Vikram Kochhar, Anil Grover, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal.

But a film like Murder Mubarak reminds us that upper crust folks have problems too. Problems like, for example, discovering the beets in their favorite health-conscious cocktail were planted alongside a dead body. It's extremely relatable, no matter your economic class. Murder Mubarak is based on the novel "Club You to Death" by Anuja Chauhan, and was directed by Homi Adajania.

Was it meant to address these important questions? Or is it simply a testosterone-fueled means of filling 3 hours and 20 minutes? Regardless, there's undeniable entertainment value, and the performances are all around top-notch.

Well, a significant portion of the plot should take place on or around Christmas. There should be just a little bit of magic, bringing people together against all odds. And, of course, Santa should feature prominently. Going by these measures, how could we NOT consider Malang a Christmas film?

In this case, we're defining "masterpiece" as a fairly goofy action movie with a few good fight scenes and LOTS of fancy cars. Dilwale makes up for its lack of emotional depth in bright colors, a fabulous soundtrack, and a five minute date scene that will tug at your heartstrings.

DDLJ is one of those once-in-a-generation films that perfectly spoke to the cultural moment in which it was created, while still feeling highly relevant to this day, nearly 3 decades later. Shah Rukh Khan is matched in wonderfulness with his number one on-screen partner-in-crime, Kajol, and the dynamic duo is joined by Anupam Kher, Amrish Puri, and Farida Jalal.
