It's hard to know where to start when talking about our movie this week. Jigra falls into the genre of action/heist/prison break films, but at it's core is the emotionally rich relationship between siblings. Satya will stop at nothing (literally, nothing) to free her wrongfully convicted brother from a foreign prison. And what begins as a complex and well-crafted story of trauma and desperation eventually devolves into utter madness. But we couldn't get enough of Alia Bhatt, who exudes girl power, and honestly that's all we need to thoroughly enjoy any flick. Jigra was directed by Vasan Bala and stars Vedang Raina, Vivek Gomber, Manoj Pahwa, and Rahul Ravindran alongside our girl Alia. Like what you're hearing?

We're taking another trip to Tollywood, this time for the latest film from our fave pan-Indian boy! Dulquer Salmaan stars as Baskhar, a family man living in middle class poverty, who uses his savvy and charm to amass an unhealthy amount of money. You know what they say: more money, more problems, and that's certainly the case when you acquired that money through less than legal means. Lucky Baskhar was written and directed by Venky Atluri, and Meenaakshi Chaudhary stars opposite DQ. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood.

Hi friends, welcome to Season 3! As is tradition, we're kicking off the year with a movie to celebrate the birthday of one of our faves, Hrithik Roshan.

It was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood. Can't get enough Bollywood?

The second half of Honey Bunny may not have been quite as fun as the first, but it was certainly just as action-packed. We're talking car chases, car crashes, cars catching on fire... and plenty of stuff not involving cars, too. And now that we have a clearer sense of how the Indian spin-off fits into the rest of the Citadel Universe, we can't wait to see where season two takes us! Honey Bunny was directed by Raj and DK. It stars Varun Dhawan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kay Kay Menon, and Kashvi Majmundar. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood. Can't get enough Bollywood?

We couldn't resist watching one more Shah Rukh movie for his birthday month! But this week, we're going with something gritty. Raees is part crime drama, part political thriller, with a whole lot of SRK charm and charisma. And while it may not have lived up to all of our expectations, we'd never hold that against our favorite Bollywood Boy! Raees also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mahira Khan. It was directed by Rahul Dholakia. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood. Can't get enough Bollywood?

Back 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.

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, and is the first movie from Kriti's new production company, Blue Butterfly. Like what you're hearing?
