Badhaai Do Review: 'बधाई दो' में बधाई किस बात की देनी है
Badhaai Do Review: ‘बधाई दो’ में बधाई किस बात की देनी है
आयुष्मान खुराना की फिल्म विक्की डोनर से शुरू हुई नए किस्म की कहानियों की एक श्रृंखला में नई फिल्म आयी ‘बधाई दो’ जो नेटफ्लिक्स पर हाल ही में रिलीज की गई. बॉक्स ऑफिस पर 11 फरवरी को रिलीज की गयी थी और काफी चर्चा के साथ ठीक ठाक कमाई कर ली थी. तीन हफ्ते के भीतर ओटीटी पर इसका आना ओटीटी प्लेटफॉर्म की बढ़ती अहमियत को दिखता है. ‘बधाई दो’ एक अनूठी कहानी लग सकती है, क्योंकि हिंदी फिल्मों में इस तरह की…

Review: Badhaai Do (2022)
Saw "Badhaai Do" (2022) last night. It was fantastic!
It's an Indian film about a gay cop and a lesbian PE teacher who get sham married to appease their intrusive families. And then have to navigate their relationships with each other, their families, and their real lovers. It's a great examination of the closet from a country where it's often still very necessary for survival. And also about the resiliency of queer people and our determination to be true to ourselves.
It's very funny, but it's also poignant and will break your heart and put the pieces back together. Parts of it are painful and scary. But it's also courageous. It has a lot of fierceness and hope and love. It's a deep cultural examination challenging the absurdity of norms.
The ending is very beautiful and not what I was expecting. It fully earns it in a very heartwarming way. That character growth right at the end was genuinely one of the most beautiful things I've seen in film because it was so unexpected.
Content Warnings: this film deals extensively with homophobia both personal and systemic including fear of police. It also centers family pressure for marriage and children. It depicts corporal punishment by police, a stalker using blackmail, misogyny, and a forced outing.

Classic BL Watch: MasterPost
Namaste besties. @waitmyturtles started a challenge watching Older Thai BLs and it got me thinking as well. I've seen a few, I've DNF-ed a few, but I wanted to see the progression with my own eyes. Thus we be here.
The basic premise is to watch and review Thai BLs from Love Sick 2014 (which I believe is the first Thai BL) to present time.
I'm going to make a few changes to the format and include BLs from other countries as well, including China (if I can find it).
This is a long post so I divided it into chapters: - Some History - The Method to Potential Madness - List - Rating System I've made individual posts about each under #org: subcategory
I've been fascinated with BLs for over two years. To find that there was an entire world of queer content out there which A) existed and B) didn't queerbait or bury the gay, was a revelation. How could this be? I'd watched Yuri!!! on Ice in 2017 and I guess assumed that BLs would be the same (E7 blocked kiss). So while BLs were on my radar for a while before I started I didn't get into them until relatively recently. I got so into them that I started a YouTube Channel about it.
See I'm a writer and watching art transform in front of your eyes is a relatively recent phenomena and it makes my brain go brrr...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Some History:
I'm Indian. I'm queer. We didn't have any rights until 2018 when the ban on homosexuality was lifted. We've had queer movies but they were your traditional Oscar-bait type things until very, very recently. By that I mean until last year where we had Maja Ma, a Madhuri Dixit starrer movie about a mom coming out as a lesbian which shocks the family and makes trouble for the son's marriage. It's a brilliant movie with one of India's best actresses as the lead. But it was a Netflix Original. Before that there was Subh Mangal Zyada Savdhan and Badhaai Do, which are both good queer movies which aired in cinemas from 2020 and 2022 respectively. All to say, queer media is very very very new in India. As such, what was a young queer to do but follow the Indian Dream and go to America. Which I did, in a literary sense. In fact watching Nyssa Al Ghul kiss Sara Lance was my queer awakening. (I love Ava but this ship was really something.) Between the good writing and queer chars being present, I wasn't coming back to India like any typical NRI.
I've mentioned before about how for the story I started writing at 15 there was no other love interest for the female lead except for another girl. It just won't make sense. This was before 2018, mind you, so not a chance in hell this would be published in India. I consoled myself with 'We'll publish in America. It takes place in space anyway, so it's fine.' But then came a story that just won't work in America. Think: what if Succession's terrible people protags were queer and Indian but it's written from a 'truly believes in romance' pov. Confused already right? I'd already given up hope. I love this, but it won't be anything more than a webnovel.
Par kahte hai -
Tumblr media
(It is said, if you love something with all your heart then the entire universe will conspire to get it to you.)
And somehow I found BLs. A world of queer stories the likes of which I'd never seen before, brimming with love and support and honest and real and queer. The Bollywood fan in me lived again after a decade 6 feet under.
I love BLs. There's no two ways about it. I love them for the love they give, the hope they have, the cringe, the drama, the stupidity, the honesty, the realness. It's everything I ever wanted queer media to be. To start it from 0 and learn what made them what they are would be an amazing learning experience and to share that with other people... well how can I not?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Method to potential Madness:
My tastes are a little peculiar. I have seen media from all over the world, the good and the bad, what it has taught me is nothing is every going to be perfect and I will miss things that are important to other people but what else I've learned is that I don't really care about something being good. If it's broken, a little difficult, a little cheap but made with love. I am all in.
See when I was young during Janmasthami every year these guys from an organization called Yogeshwar would come in white kurtas and perform nataks(plays) in our society. They didn't have sets, 2-3 props, just that white kurta and pants as outfits and yet it was entertaining. It was fun. I loved it. So money and pure intentions have never been barriers for me.
Tumblr media
(an example of Janmasthami natak)
What I do care about is competence. That the writer understands what they are writing about. The best actor can't pull off a bad script but a bad actor can be tolerated in a good script.
To get you an idea of my tastes some of my favorite medias are Legends of Tomorrow, Guardian (Cdrama), Supernatural, Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Chains of Heart, Kinnporsche, LITA, The Eclipse, The Devil Judge, Crash Course in Romance, SRK movies from '00 like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Main Hoon Na, Kabhi Khushsi Kabhi Gham, etc. As you can see, very widely ranging. I love competence and I love heart. Everything else I can live without. To that end some shows I didn't like/DNF-ed: Bed Friend, Step by Step, Big Mouth, Eve, Game of Thrones, most Netflix things, Mr. Robot, Supergirl, The Flash, Elite, Witcher, Coffee Melody, War of Y. If you get too PC without the narrative backup I'll leave; If it's too nihilistic, I'll leave; If it's too monotonous, I'll leave. I have Psychotic Depression, I don't have the time to deal with this shit.

Shiv Shastri Balboa Trailer: Movie Review | Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta| Bollywood Petals |
After working in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years an actor of repute Anupam Kher believes that his upcoming motion picture Shiv Shastri Balboa is significant because it offered him to play the title role. The film, written by Ajayan Venugopalan is being marketed as an engaging story of one Indian man's struggle to survive in a tiny town in America. Anupam Kher in a recent interview about his movie Shiv Shastri Balboa, recently said to reporters "Neena as well as I've been doing a lot of work over the years. Today, we've received this recognition. Before, I was an unassuming face on the poster of a movie. In the last 38 years, I am working in the film industry, I'm on the main poster alongside my character. This is an amazing achievement".
Tumblr media
"All this is possible through hard work, but certainly not (with) fame. In my career of 37 years I have met many people who have left and came back, however, we're there," he further added.
The actress Neena Gupta, who's career began after appearing in films such as Badhaai Ho and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and in the Netflix show Masaba Masaba, said she feels blessed to not be stereotyped as a mother on screen. She stated, "I am getting to play roles that are similar the same age as me. I'm not just doing mommy roles. In one movie I play the role of the title character. It's a major deal for me."
Story:
Shiv Shastri Balboa is the story about an avid enthusiast of Rocky Balboa who established the local Rocky Boxing Club retires and is permanently settled in the US to be with the family of his son. In the US, he is confronted with the effects of cultural shift and isolation as he embarks on a wild trip towards Philadelphia along with his housekeeper who he meets, and decides to live instead of just live.
Review:
Shiv Shankar Shastri (Anupam Kher) is a huge lover of the film Rocky in which Sylvester Stallone played boxer Rocky Balboa who is the main character of the plot. Although he's not a professional fighter but he has trained several boxers that have received awards for the country. He is now retired and moves in the USA to be in the United States with daughter Rahul (Jugal Hansraj) as well as his wife, two sons , and the dog Casper. His paths cross paths together with Elsa Zachariah (Neena Gupta) as he slowly adjusts to the bustling city life in the USA, and makes a vow to reconnect with her family back in India. It happens that they are traveling together across in the American Midwest, ultimately starting an exploration of self-love, and self-discovery. Shastri along with Elsa also meet Cinnamon Singh (Sharib Hashmi) and Siya (Nagris Fakhri) along their journey, who help them reach their destination. However, when Elsa is identified as "wanted" by the authorities and is incarcerated the situation begins to turn to the south. The second half of the film focuses on Shastri's attempts to free her and fulfill his own goal while doing it.

Semantic Error Interviews
I wasn't gonna watch Jaechan and Seoham's interviews because Seoham's literally in the military already and I can't afford to get invested in someone who's not even here. However... they're endearing in the few I'd seen or interview translations I'd read, so I gave in lol
Watched:
some random compilations
How Close Are You Two to Each Other? 스포츠경향: They answered questions about each other and the show
서함X재찬의 동계 MT현장: They play games and answer quizzes. It's fun
To Watch:
WATCHA Game Item Hidden in Box
Maybe some of the Making Of and Behind videos of the show
Watcha Party Live 1 (+ more in that channel)
Edits:
women of semantic error (cr: 4pawats on Twitter): please if there's a season 2, I need them to meet (and date)
a yuna edit (cd: thornfah on twitter): she's just soooo cool

i have so many thoughts about post-canon patpran and one of them is do the high school friends ever find out about the two of them and how do they react?
another high school reunion 10 years later, i'm assuming they're married by now and their parents have had to come around: do they arrive together with rings on their fingers? shocking their friends from the get go?
or do they arrive separately like last time, their friends joking about the enemy arriving? maybe the two of them share smiles, so pat’s old friends are like glad you’ve grown up and put it behind you. maybe now that they’re all mid-30s they talk about spouses and pat’s ring begs questions but he waves them off with “it’s a ~secret~” only to have his friends be flabbergasted when halfway through the night pran and pat are found laughing together, wearing matching rings?

The Cafe For All/Cafe of Diversity
When I think of pride flags and displays of (diverse) queerness in BLs, I think of Not Me and tangentially Badhaai Do because of their giant pride flag scenes which included protests, joy/euphoria, fighting for rights, celebration, and were just momentous occasions. I loved those scenes.
What I love about The Cafe for All is how it's not as euphoric nor rare, I love the cafe with its casual display of queerness and community, just a space for queer people to safely exist and be themselves. You can spend time with your friends there, you can invite people into your little world there, you can divulge your struggles to your mom there and you can spy on your friends/frenemies there. You can be assured that you are not alone there.

Veetla Vishesham Movie Review: Urvashi stands out in this well-localised remake- Cinema express
Veetla Vishesham Movie Review: Urvashi stands out in this well-localised remake- Cinema express
How do you critique remakes? How do you resist the temptation to compare adaptations with the original, especially when the said original, Badhaai Ho (2018), has been as widely celebrated and dissected? And in any case, what do we, who have seen the original, seek in an adaptation? I, for one, don’t really care for a frame-by-frame remake. Instead, I seek an adaptation experience that while,…

THE KASHMIR FILES, BADHAAI DO and JALSA
THREE REVIEWS: THE KASHMIR FILES/ BADHAAI DO/ JALSA After a long, long time, I saw three Hindi movies on three successive days, all of which came up to what I call “Malayalam Standard”. What does “Malayalam Standard” connote? Movie that are fairly devoid of glamour, marked by excellent direction and acting by actors whose “star” value is not in the top rungs, and featuring themes that are wildly…
