Here’s yet another Russell Peters comedy clip. A thinner Peters makes an appearance on the Beeb and does a shout-out to Meera Syal, who’s sitting in the front row.

Madhuri Dixit and Vinod Khanna in Dayavaan |
You’ve probably heard most of the material before, but there’s a cute joke about what porn would be like if it conformed to the standards of Bollywood censors. Contrary to popular belief, there have been oodles of smooches in Bollywood films, including by the faux-virginal Rai, and even some toplessness.
Way back in 1933, Devika Rani shocked people with her lingering kiss with Himanshu Rai in Karma. [Link]
… [Dimple Kapadia] created as big a splash with her comeback in Saagar when she flashed her exposed breasts to the camera for a few quick frames… a shocking first for a mainstream actress in a Bollywood film. [Link]
Mrs. Kapadia presents! This gallery of kisses through Bollywood history is way too rrro-man-tik to be saved for V Day.
For readers of different suasion, try Dosti: Friends Forever (trailer).
Bobby Deol and Akshay Kumar gaze deeply into each other’s eyes, vowing eternal love and loyalty… on motorcycles. They were trying for ‘Yeh Dosti’ from Sholay, with Deol as the younger Dharmendra. What they got instead was Brokeback Hillstation. A film culture which only mentions gays when ridiculing them, affords lots of room for hot hetero phrendship.
Hes pretty funny but can he be funny about subjects other than Indians.
i am really digging bobby’s shirt in that pic with akshay kumar. the man is quite the trendsetter!
Was that my lunch?
I am really digging Akshay Kumar! 🙂
Akshay and Bobby seem to be real “good” friends.
ha! i know…every time i see that picture, my eyes are strangly drawn to that blue flower near his elbow.
who let him outside the house with that on? every guy needs a girl/another guy/friend/mom/mirror/neighbor/chaiwallah down the st. to stop, pause, peruse, and say “hmmm…not so much”.
…about his outfit choices, i mean 🙂
You think that shirt’s bad? Try this on for size.
ah yes, but that’s a jacket manish. the shirt looks quite acceptable to me.
now if he had paired that shirt with a nice pink and red ensemble corsage…
Dayavaan was like one long steamy sex session waiting to happen. How I miss my more hormonal days…
just a shout out for some help … am looking for my annual dose of bolly-confection – it’s a toss-up (sic) among these selections – at the local suh-neema. Any recommendations? and … unlike Mr Veezh, I’m not a cerebral kind… give me melodrama and good melody and me’s happy… so… pliss do advisse.
dhaavak, i’ve heard bluffmaster is good, loosely based on the underrated “matchstick men”. altho i feel you should do your part as a loyal mutineer and watch “dosti” just to let us know how it was!
I recommend Apaharan a flick that reflects the state of lawlessness in the jungles of bihar. very gripping !
Oh how I wish I was past them..
i don’t see why brown filmic artists should be following westerners in their lascivious methods. love is shown through the eyes, not slobbered all over each other via tongues. keep private, private.
Dhaavak
Oh dost, how I appreciate your cravings for Bolly-fix. I haven’t seen Apharan yet, but keep hearing raves about it, it’s a bit of a serious film though. Check out “Kalyug”, just saw it and totally loved it. Kunal Khemu and Deepal Shaw (ooooh, the hottie with serious brains) are the hottest things around in India right now. The story is also well defined and crisply executed, on the net porn mafia in India. Bluffmaster is fun fluff. Of course, if you really have a backlog, you need to get the big ones of the year: Salaam namaste, bunty aur babli, parineeta and paheli.
this review of Dosti at musicindiaonline.com got my eye…
did the reviewer say masculine and maudlin in the same sentence…? And go on to lament cynicism? I am SO going to this movie. Just the mythical mush rush i need
So … Dosti it is my friends-of-south-asian-origin-but-maybe-only-localized-to-america-and-with-punju-mulloo-ancestors-and-residing-on-east-or-the-west-coast-using-firefox-browsers-in-a-korn-shell-environment-and-radically-fond-of-sri-lankan-tamil-babes-singing-nonsensical-verse-or-may-be-not-and-i-am-so-outofbreathigottofinishthisrightnow
(And btw TechnoPhobicGeek, thanks for the shout out and … nice snaps from periyar)
geez I am so grossed out by the Dayavan pic for some reason.
ItŽs probably because of the auntie bindi.
No it’s something about the guy really.ew…..
what trend is that? 1968?
