2 White Girls Talk Bollywood

• All We Imagine As Light

  We've been waiting for months to be able to watch and discuss this masterfully crafted movie, and now the time as come!! All We Imagine As Light is a highly acclaimed, award winning film, which might make you expect something larger than life. But in fact, it's a quiet, dreamlike, gentle film that is as subtle and complex as life itself. We follow three women as they navigate the uncertainties of their urban setting, romance, and choosing your own future. We had a lot to talk about with this one and all of the ways it made us reflect on our own lives, our present reality, and the way politics creeps into all of our stories. All We Imagine As Light was directed by Payal Kapadia and and stars Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam. Like what you're hearing?

• Chopsticks

  Today we’re celebrating Katie’s Birthday by watching one of our faves! Chopsticks follows a woman as she hunts for her stolen car with the help of an enigmatic stranger. It’s a sweet, quiet comedy that never fails to warm our hearts. We hope you like it more than the critics on Rotten Tomatoes! Chopsticks stars Mithila Palkar and Abhay Deol. It was directed by Sachin Yardi.

• Theri/Baby John

  Listen, friends. Some movies are good. And some movies are bad. And some movies are bad Hindi-language adaptations of good Tamil-language originals. In today's episode, we're dealing with the latter. We've once more split up so we could watch a Southern Indian film (Theri) and it's Bollywood remake (Baby John). And while neither movie is perfect, one is a charming and comedic action flick, while the other is a failed attempt at pairing comedy with a message about... human trafficking? The importance of a strong father figure? It's never entirely clear. But we often have just as much fun tearing apart bad movies as we do gushing over good ones, and here we got to do both! Also, please be aware that our discussion this week includes mention of sexual assault. Theri was directed by Atlee and stars Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Amy Jackson. Baby John was directed by Kalees and stars Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff.

• The Mehta Boys

  Our year so far has mostly been filled with violence, explosions, and a whole lot of crime. So for this week it felt lovely to sink into a compelling and quietly beautiful film like The Mehta Boys. It's the story of a young man whose already strained relationship with his father is pushed to the edge by his mother's sudden death. It's highly relatable and artistically told, and may leave you wanting to call your parents and tell them you love them. The Mehta Boys is Boman Irani's directorial debut, and he also stars in the film alongside Avinash Tiwary, Shreya Chaudhry, and Puja Sarup. Like what you're hearing?

• Karan Arjun

  Inspired by our dive into The Roshans earlier this month, this week's film is one of Rakesh Roshan's 90s classics, Karan Arjun! When two brothers are needlessly murdered by their cartoonishly villainous uncle, their mother vows they will return and seek vengeance in their next life. What follows is a horse-filled, sometimes silly, sometimes sexy, and often violent romp staring not just one, but TWO Bollywood boys! The boys in question are of course Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, and they're joined by Rakhee Gulzar, Amrish Puri, Kajol, and Mamta Kulkarni. Like what you're hearing?
