A Hindi movie fan

Having more brain cells than I need to focus on my job at any one time, it struck me in an idle moment that I could basically list the movies I’ve opined on so far, and make things easier for whoever is crazy enough to be interested.

If you’re interested in starting on a diet of Hindi movies yourself, try those with an asterisk [*] for starters — let’s say they constitute Bollywood for beginners! If my descent into fandom hadn’t been so carefully managed by Sayesha [who pruned away the hair-raising stuff for me], oy vey, I can’t imagine what my life would have been like. [No India trip, probably!] [Make that trips!]

If you want to know what order I watched these movies in, click on this. The earlier reviews are quite terse and abstruse, which doesn’t mean the later ones aren’t! Here goes!
