Biwi Ho To Aisi (1988)

Best of the 80s

[27 April 2015]

In what was quite possibly the worst decade for movies in Hindi cinema - this is a hidden gem. Not only does it tackle the issue of mother-in-law vs daughter-in-law it is also the story of forgiveness and female empowerment. The stars of the show are Bindu who is spectacular in one of the best "iron lady" roles ever - and of course Rekha who was spellbinding and equally charming playing the relentless Shalu. The music is a weak point, although the pre-climax song "Saasu ji tune merit radar na jani" has become a cult classic. Kader Khan is at his best as subservient husband. Farukh Sheikh also restrained does well. Salman Khan in his debut is one-dimensional but saved by his good-looks. Surprisingly Rekha was not nominated for her role, although she did win that year for Khoon Bhari Maang. Watch it for the electrifying chemistry of Rekha and Bindu - and the climax which makes the film special.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein! (2013)

Probably the most underrated film of 2013!

[2 April 2015]

I have no idea why this film has such average reviews and ratings online. It's got a good story, the film flows well, the actors are all great, the music is fantastic, what's not to like?

Kareena Kapoor is adorable in her role. Once again outshining her hero. This role reminded me of her character in Jab We Met - the free-spiritedness and zest for life! She's a go- getter. She inspires an entire community and is so charming in doing so.

It's a story about love, life and coming full circle.

Definitely recommended if you like Rom-Com's - this is one of the better ones out there. One of Kareena's most flawless performances.
