My Thoughts On The Romantics
my thoughts on the romantics
WOWOWOOWOWOWOWW
when i first saw the trailer for it i was so excited. this def lived up to my expectations.
i learned that i really dont know anything about desi cinema (lol) and i have alot of catching up to do on the old classics which i till now classified as outdated and stuffy and patriarchal. but seeing the artistry in the clips made me really want to go back and watch everything.
i also learned alot about the sociopolitical and economic context to alot of the movies and how it played into their success or lack thereof, which was really fascinating.
i do wish they delved more into how alot of people seem to agree that the industry has fallen off a little bit? i really cant explain it.. maybe im overly biased to the 2000s because those are primarily the movies i watched growing up. but still. i just feel it in my bones sometimes when i watch a good number of desi movies post-2010.
seeing rishi kapoor in the interviews :,) sad (also i wish they couldve gotten preity zinta and aishwariya to do interviews but oh well. i also wonder what sridevi wouldve said in her interview if she still was alive since they were mentioning her alot)
all in all, 100/10, i without a doubt will be rewatching just as much as i rewatch my favorite video essays on yt, if not more often. just amazing.

Lyrics that good or subtitler did an awesome job?
Don’t look at me like that ..
Like you never saw me before.
I don’t want anything from you.
No consolation, or trust.
No applauds, or sympathy.
No dreams, or comforts. Don’t look at me like that ..
Like you never saw me before. I’m the song you don’t want to listen.
The first fallen leaf of autumn.
A drop of tear in desert.
I’m the moment that has passed.
No way can I come back.
And that is the truth. Don’t look at me like that ..
Like you never saw me before. —– That is the translation of Aisa na dekho song from Ranjhaana. Oh my, the feels I had after ‘seeing’ that one, very moved. In Tamil, the opening is good. But the first stanza is the best. Second one, oh so-so.
“நிலா முற்றங்களில் முத்தமா கேட்டேன்?
உன் ஆயுளில் பாதியா கேட்டேன்?
பூ புன்னகை ஒன்று தானே கேட்டேன்!” Yeah, just one smile. :)

Things Desiblr made me realise & do :
That it's actually really cool to be a Desi .
Old Bollywood movies >>>>
Every Desi girl should wear saree and wear bindi and feel like a retro Indian movie star.
Indian history supports queer people , so whenever your aunt is being homophobic , proudly say her , she knows nothing !!!!! If you wanna know more read "Shikhandi " by Devdutt Pattanaik .

Jasmine & lotus are not just flowers .
Pasoori rules the world right now .
Be free like Geet and bounce back like Bulbul .
Madhubala is the embodiment of being gorgeous and cute at the same time .
Rekha is a Siren .
Learning Sanskrit is a rich experience .
Draupadi's vengeance created wars , so can yours .
Kishore Kumar for rain , Lata Mangeshkar for prem .
Alka Yagnik for feeling confident .
Indian rap is richer and sounds more poetic .
96 sanskrit words for love >>>>> the word love .
South Indian movies have the perfect balance of romance and action .
Khanjar is mightier than a sword.
Ye Maharani banke kaha ja rahi hai >>>> you look beautiful honey.
The tension between me and a cute boy at a puja pandal >>>>>>> speed of the earth rotation .
Gold >>>> any other metal
Chandni raat is for romance .

There is no song yet better to come then lyrics of yun hi "Kyun laaye ho ye,Kyun laaye ho ye yun hi" just slpendid.
Thehra hoon, par ruka nahi.
Baitha hoon, par jhuka nahi.
Hasrat mein hoon, betaab nahi.
Kaghaz hoon, kitaab nahi.
Nashe mein hoon, sharabi nahi.
Rota hoon, barbaad nahi.
Inaam hoon, haqdaar nahi.
Uljhan hoon, sawaal nahi.
Sochta hoon, par khayal nahi.
Mushkil hai, koi bawaal nahi.
Mausam hoon, par har saal nahi.
Faqeer hoon, bad-haal nahi.
Afsurda hoon, bimaar nahi.
Mohabbat mein hoon, par ab intezaar nahi..
