It's two for the price of one this week as we dive into two different Bollywood adaptations from Jane Austen's classic novels: Bride & Prejudice, which is Pride & Prejudice; and Aisha, which is Emma! Turns out we had a lot to say about both movies and how successfully they situate familiar Western literary characters in modern Indian culture. Full disclosure: if you're not an Austen fan, this episode may be a bit hard to follow! Bride and Prejudice stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Martin Henderson, and was directed by Gurinder Chadha. Aisha stars Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol, and was directed by Rajshree Ojha. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood. Can't get enough Bollywood?

Happy Pride, everyone!! For this week's episode we're taking a quick vacation from India to the US. But don't worry, there's still plenty of Bollywood in this flick!

Jewel Thief
This year we've been swinging back and forth between good and bad, high brow and low brow. This week, friends, our brows are on the floor. Jewel Thief tells the story of a "genius" diamond thief who gets roped into a heist by a conniving criminal. The movie is neither fun nor interesting, but it does have some good action and intrigue. Jewel Thief stars Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor, and Nikita Dutta. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood. Can't get enough Bollywood?

Hi Nanna
This week is Kim's Birthday pick, so we're watching one of our more recent faves-- Hi Nanna! It's a Telugu flick about a young girl who is determined to make her single dad tell her the story of her mother. It's an immensely charming and somewhat fanciful movie that packs an emotional punch. We hope you love it as much as we do! Hi Nanna stars Mrunal Thakur and Nani, and was written and directed by Shouryuv. Like what you're hearing?

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?
