Many people loooooooove this movie. Do we? This episode also includes discussions of toxic heroes, hating things other people love, "it's not for me," and other formulaic romances.

Hellos, cheers and welcomes to the Filmi Ladies podcasts! We'd love for you to join us on a cruise with some very questionable people - some good, mostly bad, and every single one of them dysfunctional.

We discuss Dil Dhadakne Do on its tenth anniversary and there is so much to unpack and discuss and obsess over - from the writing and characters to the themes of social status, keeping up appearances, toxic marriages, generational divide and good old sexism. It's not all dire though, this is a VERY funny and witty film!

Have you seen Dil Dhadakne Do? What are your thoughts?

Hot, passionate, angry, dangerous: red is so full of meaning! We discuss Kahaani (2012) and Chandni Bar (2001), which evoke a variety of these aspects of the vital color of red.

What are your favorite examples of cinema making great use of red?

Clueless, a cinematic treasure, just turned 30 years old this year. Could we let its anniversary pass by without talking about it? AS IF!

We discuss this 1995 movie's Gen X icon status, the deeply funny satire, other Jane Austen adaptations, Cher and Dionne's group of friends, social hierarchies and mobility and of course, THE FASHION!

We LOOOOOOOVE Sridevi but have seen very few of her films in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, or Kannada - and it's time to fix that! Today we celebrate this most super of superstars by looking at Sigappu Rojakkal (1978), Neela Malargal (1979), Kshana Kshanam (1991), and Puli (2015, her last Tamil film).

What others should we watch? Let us know in the comments.

Our first Sri-focused episode also featured the wonderful Amrita from the Khandaan Podcast: https://youtu.be/Km17utQU81I?si=JTzUKVmTg25crP2y

And here's the song Pitu loved in Kshana Kshanam: https://youtu.be/qlhpXNfJ_nQ

She's the fun, flirty girl next door but also spunky, defiant and strong. Preity Zinta is almost as well known for her real life heroism as she is for her roles. In a relatively short career of a decade, she starred in something like 30 films, many of which are massive blockbusters. We love her dimples, we love her dancing, and we are planning to bump into her at a Southern California farmer's market where she enjoys relative obscurity. TING! ✨️

Here's a catch-up episode because its been a while since we did those.

Pitu attended the second NAFA Marathi film festival in San Jose, California and got to meet filmmaker and actor Amol Palekar, actor Dr Mohan Agashe, actress Ashvini Bhave and filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar. She mentions highlights from their discussions and Q and A sections.

Beth and Pitu also discuss the movies they've been watching and intend to watch next, including Diljit Dosanjh's latest Hindi outing Detective Sherdil.
