Thalapathi (which came out in 1991) is one of the three or four Tamil movies that I’ve watched through without subtitles. And why wouldn’t I? The soundtrack, by Ilaiyaraaja, is incredible. So is most of the dancing (and it’s so nice to see Padmini’s niece again - go, Shobana!). As I’ve pointed out before, one of the [...]

Well someone called Srknkjol was good enough to post the movie Dil Se (with English subtitles) in 17 parts on YouTube. Since I’m not one to fuss about the screen quality or anything like that (the important thing was that it was easy to find and free)…I watched the whole thing.

Yes, I saw Karsh Kale and Cheb i Sabbah live at Drom on March 15, late into the night. In fact, I just got home from that, and I just wanted to say that it was a great show. That’s all on this for now (maybe more later)…

I love making accidental discoveries on YouTube. That’s what this was… I was searching the word “Kalpana,” and this definitely is not what I was looking for. But I like this song quite a bit (though I don’t know what the lyrics mean - outside of the words said in English - which might very [...]
