Adore the British-themed mural in my hotel in Valletta, including: yassified Virgin Queen, Churchill with pigeon, and for some reason General Rochambeau (not very British? like really pointedly not? did they think he was Nelson? wrong number of arms for a start) in a Spitfire that says “dong” on it

Thinking about #JaneAusten250 globally? How about a discussion of adaptations of her work in Indian and diaspora cinema! youtu.be/9fNDFUXWZkM #DesiWatch #Emma #SenseAndSensibility #PrideAndPrejudice

chikoos are slowly becoming one of my favourite fruits

Mammootty Kampany (Mammootty's own production house) has released Kaathal, directed by Jeo Baby, on Youtube for free and with subtitles. #DesiWatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm5r...

It cracks me up that the thing motivating me to get my passport renewed the most right now is the Simran and Raj statue in Leicester Square. (Second place is the Columbo statue in Budapest)

day 14 of posting #SRK until he serenades me, by flute, barefoot on the ledge of a three foot building, with multiple crowd-funded billboards in the background (proceeds go to charity).

Dharmendra has died at 89. One of the handsomest men ever to grace a screen. Just look at him in Tum Haseen Main Jawan. Devastating m.youtube.com/watch?si=u9K...

Adieu Dharam-La-Jupette (Première fois que j'apprends la mort d'un acteur indien sur une chaîne d'info française)

Perhaps the ONLY Bollywood icon whose face almost always appeared with his name in the opening credits—that’s the aura of Dharmendra. OG bhi, one and only bhi. Go well, legend.

Maybe you need to take a Your Inner Deol quiz from this great Dharmendra fan blog. ilovelovelovedharmendra.blogspot.com/2011/03/your...

#Dharmendra is one of the patron saints of my Indian cinema journey - omnipresent, omni-enjoyable, often surprisingly good in places I didn't expect him to be. Here's our recent episode of Filmi Ladies. The first 20 min are about his many strengths. youtu.be/Fe83w_OU7PQ?...
