Today marks the 18th death anniversary of Nadira, the iconic actress of Hindi cinema during the 1950s and 1960s (February 9, 2006).
Nadira, also known as Florence Ezekiel, was a dominant figure in the film industry during the 1950s and 1960s. Renowned for her roles in 'Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh,' she was one of the era's most sought-after actresses, portraying both princesses and vamps. Notably, she was perhaps the first Bollywood star to be driven in a Rolls-Royce.
She is fondly remembered for her outstanding performances in films like 'Shree 420' (1955), 'Pakeezah' (1972), and 'Julie' (1975), the latter earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Originating from Nagpada in south Mumbai, Nadira was a Baghdadi Jew who made a spectacular entry into Bollywood at the age of 19 with Mehboob Khan's 'Aan' (1950), starring opposite the legendary Dilip Kumar.
Her portrayal of the villainous Maya in Raj Kapoor's 'Shree 420', where she captivated audiences with the iconic club-dance number 'Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh,' remains unforgettable to countless fans.
Additionally, the song 'Ajeeb Daastan Hai Yeh,' featuring Nadira alongside Rajkumar and Meena Kumari in 'Dil Apna Preet Parayi,' continues to be a beloved classic.

Barun Sobti bagged a Filmfare for Kohrra 🎉
I am honestly so happy for him because he’s really been delivering kickass projects from Tu Hai Mera Sunday to Asur (and we all know he wasn’t quite recognized as “actor” in IPK despite giving a great performance opposite the absolutely amazing and stellar Sanaya Irani).
So I’m just happy that once again it’s been proven that Indian Television has a fab assortment of actors and the film industry needs to give them a chance - a chance outside their tiny pool of network.
Cause from SRK to Ram Kapoor - all these actors have had their humble beginnings from a small telly.
Especially when actors can perform under rigorous pressure and changing scripts - you can imagine what they can deliver in a controlled environment with a watertight script.

have you heard kuro dubbed in any language other than english? or in any other asian language other than korean or chinese? well i found a persian one and it's so fucking bad that it's hilarious.
(also stay tuned to find out why the persian dub of kuroshitsuji being so bad has directly to do with anti-shipping sentiment and puritanism)
i would like to politely invite anyone who's ethnically from/lives in/speaks the language of a country with an ultraconservative government to contribute to this post if they know a dub of kuro (fandub or licenced by a company) in their language to contribute to this post (agree or disagree that policing media causes a drop in its quality and accessibility in other countries) but let's keep it civil. if you are not from a country like this but have something to say, feel free to add anything on, the conversation is open to all :)
so i just heard the homemade persian dub of kuro's first ep made by some young people who sound like they're in uni (probs 18-23 yr olds), tears have been flowing from my eyes for the past 20 mins
(link under the cut)
to save time, go watch the bits i linked below or just laugh at the whole thing (full link) but don't blame these kids for being awful at this or just skip to the end of the post. as i said, there is a reason this dub is so bad and no official dub exists and it has to do with... anti subculture?!?*
but first, the funny stuff
ciel's voice is awful but just listen to the goofy dub laugh seb's va did at the start I'M FUCKING SOBBING (00:15-00:35), and also not ciel's va MOANING after the op song (2:35) ??? i REPEAT the woman who VA'd ciel was fucking MOANING, the YAWN was the worst part, dub team shotacons???
also SHEEL FANTOMHAYO?? THE KID'S NAME WAS DUBBED AS SHEEL FANTOMHAYO. (refer to 6:30 in the video linked)
now this isn't because we lack a 's' in our language (my alias is literally a persian name meaning shadow aka ✦sayé✦), we've just transliterated it as shiyel, but SHEEL???
the other guy calls him fantomhayo too (8:25) and the fantomhayo condition strikes again with sebastian's va talking about the fantomhayo hospitality at 12:40 ish in the video.
this is particularly bizarre because we do have a V in persian, please guys, use it!
please note: i have nothing but good things to say about finny's va... the way the va says "sebaastiyaan!" (12:43) is so cute <3
at 13:00, we get this golden crumb "meyrin... oh meyrin" from this college aged dude doing sebastian (who is SO lost) then he proceeded to say in persian "i beg you, ON MY LIFE, just pour the fucking wine in the glass and walk away" save me from the bad dub, ono daisuke, save me...
the furnace scene is just gold (18:50 onward is comical, the scream at the end... priceless), these people deserve an award, im tempted to do subs on this whole video because the translation is so wrong yet absolutely too hilarious to leave untranslated. also, i like how you can hear other people talking in the background constantly, they didn't even bother finding a quiet room 😭😭
finally i translated some of the best comments under the vid (everyone fuckin hated it 😭)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
..tldr: irani/persian speaking netizens are brutal. but also, it shows that persian speakers are used to quality dubbing, otherwise this wouldn't be so offensive. if we were used to badly done dubs, the comments wouldn't look like this. many famous kdramas and jdramas and indian/turkish films have been dubbed. animated movies e.g. disney films and most commonly 70-80s anime have huge followings in iran and were dubbed extraordinarily well. in fact, in iran, many of our own films are dubbed especially if the original footage did not capture the audio well enough/the director was unhappy with the actor's delivery and it's usually hard to tell if this has happened because it's done very well. shockingly, dub is more popular than sub. so why does kuro not have an official dub? why is the fandub so bad???
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
*IMPORTANT: an anime like this is not allowed to be legally dubbed by studios in iran because iran is under an islamic theocracy (the islamic republic) and all media that promotes devil worshipping and blasphemy is banned, homosexuality is too (anyone can tell kuro has homoerotic undertones, the homophobic heads of media would never let this queer gothic romance through). oh and trans people are "allowed" on TV but only if they're not vulgar/explicit (not even then, half the time) & grelle would not make it into the anime AT ALL. even if we ignore all the devil worshipping and queerness, sex is banned too (as well as lewd appearances of women), so season 1/2 & boc would never make it. oh and alcohol, bom would never make it. oh and also, women's empowerment is banned too so boa would never make it. when will it end? will someday everything be banned? sure looks like it. but isn't this what anti shippers want? i mean kuro IS problematic media, it never condemns people for having sex or partaking in drinks, not even murder is condemned.
moving on, the subtitled version of the episodes are very well done for what they are but it's still not good, you won't understand what's going on properly. meanings are lost. a dub is much more accessible to those who can't read subs and generally a necessary option. people NEED dubs. don't get me wrong, the iranian fansub team are dedicated however subs are much easier for fans to do than dubbing. as you heard, kuro's persian fandub was frankly terrible. these kids didn't even know how to pronounce ciel's name and it's NOT because of the language barrier, my theory is that because the internet access is so limited, they had to figure out how to pronounce ciel's name purely from the japanese original or another lang dub and had no access to the eng dub. as you can see, they are not able to follow the mouth movements either (don't have editing software); i assume the internet restrictions targeted streaming platforms w the dub on it (because the government wants to CONTROL what media people consume) so they had to figure everything out from japanese or another language, (they probably used another fandub to translate since the ed seems to credit the eng vas while they can never be heard in the bg) which is not easy. unfortunately english is taught in schools around the world not japanese so the dubbers' translation was quite honestly terrible- after all, they had no official script to base their translation off. BUT if a professional dubbing studio (e.g. iran's glory entertainment) got their hands on kuro, it'd probably be dubbed very well. if mehrdad raissi, CEO of glory, was on for seb's role, it would be glorious (pun intended). if he did flynn rider well, he can do sebs well too. but that studio often has their shows played on state televisions and the last thing they want is to get blacklisted and arrested for dubbing the gay demon butler anime. please do not take this fandub as representing all persian-language dubs. and remember, kuro itself is banned for being problematic media in counties like iran... no sebaciel needed (although anyone can definitely see the gay undertones to the story from a cover alone).
if you want to ban people from shipping things or making fan works that are problematic... soon you'll have to get rid of problematic media in general. and already, antis sound like the media people in charge under a dictatorship. "violence is okay, murder is okay but s-sex?!? women in scandalous clothing!!! oh good heavens..!" this is the kind of mindset which leads people down the rabbit hole of "this is problematic!! let's ban it!!!" until there's nothing left, a slippery slope. imagine this was the english dub of kuro. imagine it was banned in western countries and a team of young'uns had to gang up and make their own dub using only the japanese raws. imagine problematic media like kuro wasn't picked up the west because it's "shota" and that's bad. we'd be stuck looking at the same sanitised stuff and if we wanted to watch kuro, our options would be trash dubs (no offense) like this one. pretty scary to think this could be the state of the english dub if puritanism was as bad here as it is in countries like iran. policing media and deciding what creators should or shouldn't create will take you to the side of theocratic dictatorships and you will fall into alt right puritan lunacy, fanpoll are about as woke as a dictatorship, remember that.
don't sound like this:
Tumblr media
NEVER sound like this.
it is clear that conditional freedom is no freedom at all. there should be zero criteria to the media we want to create, no religion or purity culture to it. just be media literate. let nobody control what you want to create or consume! (or you'll end up in a world where the media that is deemed "problematic" is maintained but only through underground circles, losing quality and accessibility day by day, until these channels are shut down too and only a sanitised husk of options for media consumption remain)

"All shows are women-based, but somehow the men always get more money"
Watch from 4:00 onwards to see Sanaya Irani talking about pay parity in ITV. I think she's talking about Gul Khan and 4 Lions for sure.
I've been out of IPK loop for a bit but this part in the Sanaya Irani interview I stumbled on, made me so angry (not at her, at the world). She heavily implies that Barun and her were never paid equally while doing the show. And later, when asked to reprise their roles/do a new show together (she's not clear about exactly which), she asked for equal pay as the success of their pairing was due to both of them, and she was DENIED.
This is outrageous to me, considering Sanaya was definitely the bigger and more popular star prior to IPK. And as IPK 3 undoubtedly proved, the big draw of IPK, the thing that made it super successful was the PAIRING of Arnav and Khushi, not just the music or the love-hate story or Barun all by himself. No shade to Barun, he's a fine actor of course. But this is about what made IPKKND work - and the credit for that is EQUALLY shared between the two leads, and of course the writing and the supporting cast are also critical in that success.
Anyway, I'm sorry but I am not mature enough to not be kind of happy that IPK 3 didn't work out, not because of any other reason but just because it made the producers and their misogyny look really really stupid. They really thought they were having a "we can re-do IPKKND, we don't need HER (the HER is always replaceable), as long as we have HIM" moment, and I'm glad they were proven wrong.
It's what fans have pointed out forever, which apparently the producers were too damn stupid to know - of course as fans of Barun himself, we are glad to see a NEW tv show with a totally different story and new co-stars. But if you're going to shove the IPKKND branding in there, you're going to make us listen to the background music in every scene, you're going to name the lead character similar to the iconic ASR, then SORRY - you're the one who is inviting us with garlands into comparison territory, and you WILL be found wanting. IPKKND without Sanaya as Khushi, is really not something anyone who loves this show wishes to see or imagine.
Barun Sobti has his own brand and fan following, which they could have easily cashed in on by making a totally new show with him. But what they wanted to do was cash in on the IPKKND brand, imagining in their arrogance that Sanaya Irani (not to mention good writing 👀) is only incidental and expendable to that brand.
Like there is a reason there are so many fucking ITV shows these days with 17-20 year old girls paired with 32 year old men. Because audiences will easily swallow these odd pairings, and you can get away with paying a 17 year old peanuts. Because the successful 32 year old woman is going to ask for what she's worth. And while producers can make peace with paying men what they're worth per their experience and popularity, doing the same for women, is considered too extreme to even be an option.

I watched Dunki on the second day (sorry, i had to break the tradition of watching the first day first show cause depression won over), and it was underwhelming, to say the least.
So yes, there was a plot, but the execution sucked? I was not at all entertained nor moved by any of the reasons why these 3 wanted to go to London. None of the reasons felt pressing enough for them to undertake this extremely dangerous journey. I was moved only by Vicky Kaushal's backstory. But that was it. Neither has the movie utilised the actor Boman Irani, which was sad. None of the jokes landed for me. They were too cringe 😭 I also did not like Taapsee or SRK's performance (his acting sucked sorry he was overacting😭) but of course, SRK is a treat to watch on screen.
But I did like SRK's character, Hardy, tho. He reminded me of our kdrama oppas, and then it struck me that SRK has always given us oppa vibes!
I feel like one of the main reason Bollywood movies suck nowadays is because of the way they are executed. They just know how to fuck up a good plot with their extremely bad execution. But if you look at Jawan, directed by a South Indian, everything about it was top-notch. Even tho, one would say it really doesn't have a plot (I don't necessarily agree with this but ok), everything about it was executed reallly well - from cinematography, to backstory to songs, etc.
That being said, I'm extremely happy that SRK had a great year in terms of conquering the box office. I'm also very glad that I could watch all 3 of his movies at the cinemas this year (watched Pathaan and Jawan twice at the cinemas 😎). I also absolutely never care about plots if there's SRK, so even if continues to make shitty films, I'll always go watch it.
I'll miss him in 2024 😭

Okay so this is a big ask, and I truly cannot say PLEASE AND THANK YOU hard enough for even considering answering this. I’m thinking about making a blog that goes through an entire bloodline. Starting with a bit more old times fantasy stuff, into modern day, and maybe heading into a more cyberpunk era.
I have a base but and ideas for characters that can fill in gaps but I do need some help and opinions, and sorry to say, you’re the best one for this. Sorry for how huge this is gonna get lol. Know that you have my eternal gratitude for even looking at this though.
Okay so for the main base I’m thinking Ram Charan, but I would like a fc that you think could work for a younger fc for him (early to mid 20s)
Up next in the line I just need general fc help. Character is a male about middle aged, and Indian. Very gruff and angry at what seems like the world, but kind deep down. Nearest thing I can liken him to would be the punisher from marvel.
Next up would be my modern muse. I was thinking Avan Jogia, but if you don’t think he’d fit the trend of the previous characters ethnicity wise, I am more than open to different suggestions.
Lastly is the character in a more futuristic type setting. I’d like a woman that very much has a cool biker girl vibe could literally be anywhere from like early 20s to mid 30s.
This got ENORMOUS, but your insight is invaluable when it comes to fc help, but if this is too much for you that’s fine too. Feel free to let me know either way. You do so much for us, and I cant say thank you enough.

Shreya Chaudhry expressed enthusiasm ahead of The Mehta Boys' international premiere at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival, saying, "It's an absolute honour to have our work showcased on such a prestigious platform"
The Mehta Boys, the directorial debut of Bollywood actor Boman Irani, will premiere at the 15th Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF) on September 20. The film, starring Boman Irani, Shreya Chaudhry, and Avinash Tiwary, delves into an alienated father-son relationship, exploring themes of identity, family, and belonging.
Tumblr media
Actor Shreya Chaudhry, who plays the female role in The Mehta Boys, is ecstatic about the film's world premiere. She said, "I am absolutely thrilled to be heading to Chicago for the South Asian Film Festival, especially since our film, The Mehta Boys, will have its world premiere on the festival's opening night! It is an enormous honor to have our work featured on such a distinguished platform, and it is really rewarding to earn this international exposure."
Reflecting on her experience with the film and working with Boman Irani, she stated, "The Mehta Boys is a very special film for me." It has been a fantastic honor to not only act but also be directed by a legend like Boman Irani sir; it is an experience I will cherish forever. I'm also happy for the opportunity to collaborate with Oscar-winning writer Alexander Dinelaris so early in my career. Boman sir's understanding of the art and the enthusiasm he brought to the set were truly inspirational. With sir on set, every day was a lesson. I am extremely grateful to him for entrusting me with this responsibility and allowing me to be part of this journey.
Shreya went on to say, "Having a film that we've all worked so hard on be part of an international film festival that celebrates South Asian stories is one of those dream-come-true moments, especially so early in my career." To think that The Mehta Boys will be seen by a larger audience fills me with appreciation. To be able to work with such a wonderful cast and crew, all of whom poured their emotions into this picture, makes this award much more meaningful."
Celebrities such as Karan Johar, Farah Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan took to social media upon the announcement of The Mehta Boys' international debut at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival.

45 years of #Shalimar (15/12/1978)
Hum bewafa hargiz na the, Par hum wafa kar na sakhe Humko mili uski sazaa, Hum jo khata kar na sakhe

Hey I absolutely love your page and IPKKND is literally the only Indian serial I've watched a multiple times. I moved on in my life and not once thought about this show until recently when I saw some clips on Insta and bro the chemistry is truly something. I know this serial had so many of us in a chokehold in childhood but what I am surprised at is that it still has similar effect on me and still stands the test of time for being the best TV romances from ITV. What are your thoughts?
Hello hello,
Thank you so much for your love <3
See a few things happened, one is that Indian television has not improved. In fact, gone downhill. To a point that I truly appreciate things released prior 2019 far more than anything else (exceptions being half of Chand Jalne Laga, Channa Mereya and half of Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum).
So storytelling, tbh, was far more active in that era than now.
Second, when it comes to angsty love stories, IPK is perhaps one of the few with a really good compelling structure for plot and an excellent male lead characterization. Arnav is the limit of what can be accepted for a grey character. Khushi's character, in hindsight, is a weakness that's largely forgiven and forgotten because of Sanaya Irani's brilliant acting.
The world building was very strong in IPK - from Shyam to Anjali, Lucknow to Delhi, the family structures, the side plots - it was just a very very rich world.
Also the show had some excellent set ups and brilliant executions of tragedies. I love how messed up some of the characters got and just the show's on delay in romanticizing the relationship between Arnav and Khushi.
And the show is GORGEOUS to look at. We were coming to cusp of the way technology began to change in ITV - HD cameras, aesthetics, etc.
And IPK was the first to take the risk and spend a lot of time and energy to bring that on the table. Visually the show is STUNNING.
If you are a consistent tv watcher, you'd be shocked the visual difference delivered in 2011.
Here's a list of all the shows and how they looked on 4th November, 2011

That's why it is so watchable even now. Romance wise, my fondness for Khushi has been affected over time, however the chemistry that Barun-Sanaya shared, with both really fitting in what the characters needed (Barun is better in layered roles, Sanaya almost always captures the attention on screen) and given they both just have beautiful, evocative eyes, makes all the sense.
If not for these actors, or if, to be honest, the show didn't end when it did (right after Arnav-Khushi achieved their happily ever after) then this show would have NEVER developed the status it did.
Some shows have a right time to end, and this one did at the right time. And we have a LOT of good stuff to remember. A lot of romance to enjoy. The show indulged its viewers by giving us romance that mattered.
Once Arnav and Khushi are sure about each other's feelings - they're actually kind of solid as a couple. Legit 1/3rd of the show is them being in love.

And when a show has spent sustainable amount of time showing your leads being in love, without any major misunderstanding or separation in between - the fondness and escapism remains :) I feel peace watching them because they just spend a significant amount of time being a couple.
That's it.
Best,
JWB
