We would be remiss if we only talked about MAAs in Bollywood and ignored the PITAJIS. We bring two very different movies that depict different aspects of fatherhood - father as a human being first, and father who must grapple with passing the torch to his son.Beth discusses Ray's Apur Sansar (1959) and Pitu discusses Boman Irani's The Mehta Boys (2025). [We know Apur Sansar is not exactly "filmi" but neither is Masoom that we did for maas, so it all evens out.]We also discuss quintessential fathers in Indian cinema as well as father figures like all the amazing uncles - and end with a fun quiz!Tell us your thoughts! And most importantly tell us what you learned from your father (and/or father figure).Subscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062@filmiladies on Instagram Pitu is @pitusultan on InstagramBeth is @bethlovesbollywood on BlueskyEmail us at filmiladies at gmailSee our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfyOur logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

Meena Kumari is famously known as the tragedy queen of Hindi cinema, and she's an actress whose filmography we've mostly avoided so far. Inspired by a subscriber's comment, we decide to give Meena's light-hearted movies a shot, and discuss Miss Mary (1957) and Kohinoor (1960).Pitu has seen the error of her ways and is no longer calling her Moaning Myrtle. She is now Merry Meena.If you haven't seen her dance with puppies at the puppies' birthday party in Mem Sahib, please stop what you're doing and revel in this delightful song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12WvtoTJ3r0And as a postscript, enjoy this clip of Emma Thompson talking about working with Hugh Grant. https://youtube.com/shorts/nLNMZXpNbB8?si=FpfSeZHahz5AhlNuSubscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062@filmiladies on Instagram Pitu is @pitusultan on InstagramBeth is @bethlovesbollywood on BlueskyEmail us at filmiladies at gmailSee our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfyOur logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

We've discussed Indians making films set elsewhere, and now it's time to flip the script: foreigners making films set in India! Don't worry, we steered very, very clear of the Eat Pray Love trap

Yellow is so many things - it's cheery, happy, positive, optimistic, and literally sunny as in the color of the sun! But it's also a color associated with fear, unease, cowardice, and the oppressive heat and dangerous conditions of the desert. We discuss the positive aspects of yellow through the 2014 movie Khoobsurat and the more seedy aspects of yellow in the 2007 noir film Manorama Six Feet Under.- What are your favorite yellow films?- Is Juhi Chawla the living embodiment of the color yellow?- Apart from sarson ke khet what are some other yellow aesthetics in Hindi movies?- And lastly what do we think of men wearing yellow?

Beth has been waiting for this episode for years: it's finally time to talk about her very favorite star. And the thing is, Rani is so, so much more than a star - she's an ACTOR. We discuss some of our favorite films - many of which have featured on this podcast already - and a few that we've never seen before. Not surprisingly, we both love her comedic chops and went for Aiyyaa (2012), Chori Chori (2003), and Hadh Kar Di Aapne (2000). Beth also checked out her debut, Biyer Phool (1996), in which she is sure-footed and charming from the start.Tell us what items from her earlier career we need to see! And tell us what you hope our queen will do going forward!

Happy Mother's Day or as we call it - Maa Divas! CineMAA has many interesting maas and in this episode we discuss them. There's the martyr maa, wholesome maa, unhinged maa, idealistic maa, sauteli maa, vengeful maa, even the sexual maa.

This week we're looking at movies tinged with green. The color may connote envy, luck, and eco-consciousness...but we both went literal and chose films with beautiful greenery. Sudani from Nigeria (2018) is a sweet slice of outsider life in Kerala, and Khoj (1989) has strange goings-on in the hills of Nepal.

We discuss Dil Diya Dard Liya, a 1966 adaptation of Wuthering Heights; Sangdil, a 1952 adaptation of Jane Eyre; and two versions of Great Expectations, a 1998 Hollywood version as well as Fitoor from 2016.All are fairly emo and very, very filmi.What are your favorite British novels and their adaptations?To watch our Jane Austen episode, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fNDFUXWZkM&t=1sSubscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062@filmiladies on Instagram Pitu is @pitusultan on InstagramBeth is @bethlovesbollywood on BlueskyEmail us at filmiladies at gmailSee our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfyOur logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

We love Tabu! And so does everyone else apparently. What's not to love? She's strong, fearless, complex, talented and plays complicated characters with an astounding ease. Truth be told, we may be a little scared of her? Pitu desperately wants to have tea with her but is also nervous about it.We discuss her movies Kadhal Desam (1996), Astitva (2000), and Haider (2014), with a momentary foray into a favorite scene in Andhadhun (2018).What are your favorite Tabu films or performances?Subscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062@filmiladies on Instagram Pitu is @pitusultan on InstagramBeth is @bethlovesbollywood on BlueskyEmail us at filmiladies at gmailSee our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfyOur logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

Blue is so many things: it's clear blue skies and the ocean, the excitement of tropical holidays, but also the snobbery of the blue-blooded and the preppy set. It's also the beloved morpankhi color of peacocks and the monsoon rains, as well as the sadness of feeling a little down or downright depressed. We explore the depths of the color blue (pun intended) with Blue (2009) and the angst and melancholia of Hyderabad Blues (1998).What are your favorite movies that are blue—even if they give you the blues?Subscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062@filmiladies on Instagram Pitu is @pitusultan on InstagramBeth is @bethlovesbollywood on BlueskyEmail us at filmiladies at gmailSee our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfyOur logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

We are not aMUSEd. Ugh, these movies. It's Beth's fault that we watched them, and we're both glad to have finally seen these films and we can have informed opinions...but unfortunately those opinions are quite negative. The real takeaway is that men authoring stories about how women inspire them is quite unnecessary and just takes up more air in the room that could have gone to women authoring their own stories. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ If you want more on Gaja Gamini, see our friend Carla (Filmi Geek's) blog. https://www.filmigeek.com/2013/03/gaja-gamini-2000.htmlSubscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062@filmiladies on Instagram Pitu is @pitusultan on InstagramBeth is @bethlovesbollywood on BlueskyEmail us at filmiladies at gmailSee our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfyOur logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

Yes yes, we've already done an episode on Shashi Kapoor, but his filmography is so vast and varied that there's always room for another! We both chose a film for his young, middle and older years, so there are 6 films under discussion today: Dharmputra (1961, his debut as an adult), Pyaar Kiye Jaa (1966), Chori Mera Kaam (1975), Trishna (1978), Pyaar Ki Jeet (1987), and In Custody/Muhafiz (1994).If you want to read Beth's post on Chori Mera Kaam, it's here https://www.bethlovesbollywood.com/2009/10/chori-mera-kaam.htmland all her blog posts on Shashi films are here https://www.bethlovesbollywood.com/search/label/house%20favorite%3A%20Shashi%20Kapoor.

Wherever could we find purple prose in Hindi cinema??? The Dirty Picture (2011), that's for sure.

These films had us ALL STIRRED UP! The great Indian Kitchen, starring the wonderful Nimisha Sajayan and Suraj Venjaramoodu and directed by Jeo Baby, is a quiet, clear, almost documentary-like look at the erosion of a woman's life and self in her in-laws' house. The Hindi remake Mrs., starring Sanya Malhotra and Nishant Dahiya and directed by Arati Kadav, is a slightly different but still very effective flavor.

Before you dismiss gray, think about all it can represent: ambiguity, aging sadness, life-giving rain, sublime and enduring stone, mysterious or cooling shadows, or even the beautiful and essential mid-tones of anything sketched in black and white. We went with two very different films from the 2010s: Masaan (2015) and Raees (2017).

This amazing all-rounder required looking at different kinds of films: of course Rangeela (1995) and Ek Hasina Thi (2004), but also Khoobsurat (1999), Dillagi (1999), and Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya (2001).

Brown is so beautiful: natural and warm and sturdy, it reminds us of coffee and tea, trees and stones, antique furniture, fine leathers, furry friends, and, in the case of our chosen projects, the symbol of legal authority (khaki) and ageless history (old papers and ruins). Pitu watched Vikramaditya Motwane's new series Black Warrant (2025) and Beth watched the Bengali archaeology adventure Guptodhoner Sondhane (2018). Tell us what films you think of when you think of brown? And what amazing chocolatey or baked good do you like to eat while watching?

We travel to colonial Bengal and encounter the idle rich, a bejeweled beauty, a perennially bemused bumpkin, and a sparkly, sprightly lady - and of course a crumbling haveli with bad juju. In this episode we discuss Saheb Bibi Golam (Bengali, 1956) and Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam (Hindi, 1962).

This is the first episode in a new series about films we associate with particular colors. Black may be the most complicated color, evoking traits from elegance and edge to sadness, anger, mourning, and destructiveness. For a color that can be so striking, it often screams "don't look too closely." Neither of us could resist choosing a black and white film, but that's where the similarities end: Satyajit Ray's Nayak (Bengali, 1966), where black is cool, distant, and protective, and Bramayuagam (Malayalam, 2024), where black is unstable and unknowable.

Bringing the energy we want for 2025, it's everyone's favorite bolt of sunshine: Juhi Chawla! In talking about a range of her films - Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Yes Boss (1997), and 3 Deewarein (2003) - we also discuss her unique traits, why she's so good with Shah Rukh Khan, whether comedy really is not as well regarded as drama, and what acting even IS. Did you expect all of that in an episode focused someone who's considered a bit of a lightweight? Neither did we, even though we most definitely love her.

Let it snow!! Snow conjures up visions of giddy delight, snowball fights, hijinks, romance, hushed wonder but also eerie, claustrophobic scenes invoking dread. We discuss two movies where being snowed in is a thing. Junglee (1961) and Gaddaar (1973).

This week we focus on Feroz's Dharmatma, his 1975 adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972). * This episode contains spoilers for both the original and this adaptation! * * Content warning: this film is very violent towards women. It's violent in general, of course, but it feels extra brutal towards a few of its women, with at least one significant change from the arc of one of the original corresponding characters. We don't discuss this in-depth but please know that some scenes in this film are hard to watch. • Pitu approaches her first viewing of Dharmatma as a Godfather fan and especially likes its twist on handling Michael Corleone and his relationship to his family. Beth has seen it multiple times and it sates her love of 70s style and character actors. This film doesn't seem to get mentioned as often in discussions of Hindi gangster films as maybe it should, especially since it's the first of the Indian remakes of The Godfather, and as we go through its strengths and weaknesses, we come to some conclusions as to why.

Veer Zara celebrates its 20 year anniversary and Pitu and Beth disagree on basically everything about it.

Joining our list of favorites is Eighties Lady Amrita Singh! While we didn't think she quite qualified as a superstar, Pitu (with her 80s and 90s expertise) knew Amrita's brash energy made her worth talking about. (PS Beth mentions both Mukesh and Mahesh Bhatt as producers of Kalyug, and the film itself says "Mahesh Bhatt presents" and "Mukesh Bhatt production," so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ) What are your favorite Amrita Singh performances and is one of them the disco masterpiece that is Yaar Bina Chain Kahan Re? https://youtu.be/29N4uJkDyO8?si=eDm_I_xm_gpupWtx Subscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062 @filmiladies on Instagram and Twitter Pitu is @pitusultan on Instagram Beth is @bethlovesbolly on Twitter Email us at filmiladies at gmail See our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfy Our logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

If you get together with cinematically-minded loved ones in the festive season, whatever your festivities are, these questions can make for great conversation! We want to know what you think about all of them in the comments. Many of Beth's questions were inspired by discussions on the podcasts Extra Hot Great (https://extrahotgreat.com/) and I Saw What You Did (https://www.exactlyrightmedia.com/i-saw-what-you-did).

We talk about another good movie from the Maddock horror verse: Munjya. Points discussed:• Green flag heroes • Suhas Joshi as Aaji

We are firmly in the 80s now as Meenakshi Seshadri is our first 80s superstar. A beautiful, talented actress and dancer, she doesn't get talked about as much as she should - and we are a bit puzzled as to why. Are you a Meenakshi fan and do you consider her a superstar? Which of her films or performances do you enjoy? Films discussed: Ghayal, Ghar Ho To Aisa, Swati, and Dilwaala. We have both seen and love Damini but completely forgot to cover it; obviously she is amazing in it and it is essential to her legacy! (PS Beth realizes she said "I have heard so much about Meenakshi over the years" AND "I must not have heard that many people talking about her," and obviously those cannot both be true. She meant that she has heard the name frequently but not much in-depth discussion.) .

To celebrate the birthday of the great Rekha, we watched Utsav (1984), Girish Karnad's adaptation of the ancient Sanskrit play Mrichakatika. In our totally unbiased opinion this is Rekha's film through and through, but really everyone and everything else is great, with one exception that you can probably guess. This is one of our favorite Rekha performances! What are yours? Other discussions: • Is Rekha the best Hindi film actress for sensuality and sexual forthrightness? • The jewelry!!! • Isn't it amazing that Shashi Kapoor produced so many fantastic films in such a short window (1979–1984)? • Does Kulbhushan Kharbanda have BDE?

It's a catch-up episode! We've been busy getting through our watchlists and have opinions! Pitu watched Laila Majnu (2018), Madgaon Express (2024), and The Perfect Couple (2024). Beth watched Bad Newz (2024) and...the vintage US tv series Moonlighting (1985–89)?!? Have you seen any of these movies? What have you guys been watching?

We discuss the brief but magnificent film career of Smita Patil—one of India's greatest actresses. Winner of the Padma Shri and several film awards, she was the face of art cinema and feminist narratives. Intense and smoldering, she was often the hero of the film. We also discuss her foray into commercial cinema. See the pinned comment for recommended films. What are your favorite Smita movies or performances? Films discussed: Manthan, Bhumika, Jait re Jait, Namak Halaal, Bazaar, Umbartha, and Ghungroo.

Taal turns 25 years old because Time is an illusion. Taal is the filmiest of filmy films, with a seriously OTT Anil, diva-like Aishwarya, and Akshaye being sensible lover boy. There is a lot of rain, some talk of tyaag and izzat, snooty rich people, a cute mop of a dog, and an unholy amount of sequins and razzle dazzle. A R Rahman delivers an absolutely epic score that is choreographed to perfection, and director Subhash Ghai was maybe a total genius by letting him and everyone else on this crew just do their magic. Come rise in love with Taal and tell us what you think!

We conclude our Kapoor series with the heir of the Kapoor dynasty - Ranbir. We discuss his versatility, his chameleon like ability to get into his character's skin, his dancing skills, the manchild description he is often labeled with, and his impressive filmography. For once, we pick the exact same ice cream flavor for an actor, and are inordinately proud of ourselves. Films discussed are Jagga Jasoos, Barfi, Tamasha and Bombay Velvet. Please share your thoughts on Ranbir. Which of his performances and movies do you love or hate?

Dhoom dhoom dhoom dhoom! 20 years of fast bikes, fast cars, stylish locales and questionable fashion. Do the Dhoom movies float your boat? What are your thoughts on Uday Chopra as an actor?

Tell us - how do you feel about Roohi, Bhediya and Munjya? What are your favorite Rajkumar Rao characters or movies? Is there an actor who can out-Pankaj Pankaj Tripathi?

because Filmi Ladies is turning 2! Thanks be to Patron Saint Dev Anand who inspires us to be bigger and better! We celebrate with Do Devs (actually 3, but who's counting?): Dev in a double role in Hum Dono and singular Dev in the singularly delightful Nau Do Gyarah. What are your favorite Dev movies?

Love Aaj Kal turns 15 years old! This movie was quite the rage back then and the fashions in it quite the moment. Has it held up? Yes for one of us, no for the other. Mostly we agree on Saif's fab performance, DP's okay one, and spend a few moments smiling happily as we think of Patron Saint Rishi Kapoor. Important notes: • Do not date your boss. • Bridge is not a job. • For a film about a hetero love story, is this actually about the two men who see themselves in each other? • Saif rocks a turban. • We are all old.

Unlike her older sister Karisma, there is no question Kareena is a bonafide superstar. Movies we discuss in detail: Khushi, Chameli, Omkara, Jab We Met, Tashan, and Milenge Milenge.

Oh Lolo. Neither Pitu nor Beth really know how to place Karisma: is she a 90s queen or merely a princess? What is her legacy? Is she a worthy inheritor of the family name?

Filmi Ladies celebrates its 100th episode! Hurray! We discuss films with 100 in the title: Sau Saal Baad (1989) and 100 Days (1991). Both films are horror, although one is more B-grade, for lack of a better term, and the other has A-list stars and a killer (heh) soundtrack. Both movies have jumpscares, premonitions, and creepiness. We also discuss other horror fare as well as films with numbers in the title. Tell us what you think!

We continue with our Kapoor family series and discuss Rishi, the most famous and successful Kapoor of his generation, and his onscreen and offscreen hit jodi with Beth's favorite Neetu Singh. Points discussed: • Rishi's sequin jumpsuits in Karz • his Qawwali king status • his disappointed sadface in many movies, • his sweater wardrobe • his moppety effervescent energy and cuteness with Neetu in Khel Khel Mein and elsewhere • what Neetu brought to 70s films that other women didn't • his frankness in interviews and social media Brother Randhir makes a brief appearance as a rickshawala in this episode. Our other Rishi-centric episodes include • qawallis (https://youtu.be/wTINpaD0Htc?si=BSgC1UgDu_yRn-Iq) (with guest Sujoy from @khandaanpodcast), • his autobiography Khullam Khulla (https://youtu.be/pWpWG1nSJmo?si=5HHZwGXLrmIpPGZ4), and • playing against type (https://youtu.be/Y81uvvKEefc?si=LozMNNOrebCqmltl) And please watch the mind-bending song Main Haseen Hoon Main Jawan Hoon from Rickshawala and tell Beth WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbdsrUBm-A0 Subscribe to Filmi Ladies on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7Ib9C1X5ObvN18u9WR0TK9 or Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/filmi-ladies/id1642425062 @filmiladies on Instagram and Twitter Pitu is @pitusultan on Instagram Beth is @bethlovesbolly on Twitter Email us at filmiladies at gmail See our letterboxd for everything discussed on this podcast. https://boxd.it/qSpfy Our logo was designed by London-based artist Paula Ganoo @velcrothoughts on Instagram https://www.art2arts.co.uk/paula-vaughan

Perhaps nowhere in the history of Hindi cinema do two siblings have more divergent debuts, more unusual filmographies, or more unpredictable trajectories. We look at Akshaye in Himalay Putra (1997) and Rahul in 1947 Earth (1999) and then discuss their careers, including celebrity presence and lack thereof. If you haven't seen Himalay Putra, do watch the 90s-riffic I Am a Bachelor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Mg5JxR_5o and uber-masala Bam Bam Bhole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WeFpknLEpo.
