Devdas
A movie, which I watched a number of times but each time I end it with new feelings, empathy for another character and a lot of pain in my heart. I really do not know why but I feel there's this really strong connection between me and this movie.
Parvati (Paro)
"Guroor kaise hota, usme daag jo hai"
A beauty, someone who had to go through so much, but still felt to love him, even when everyone said no, even when her mind said no, she still listened to her heart and kept loving him, knowing the fact that they won't be together. Someone from whom I understood that, you can wait forever for your love.
Devdas
"Bapuji ne kaha gaon chod do
Sab ne kaha Paro ko chod do
Paro ne kaha sharab chod do
Aj tumne keh diya haveli chod do
Ekdin aayega jab woh kahenge duniya hi chod do"
Paro wasn't his love, she was his life, his oxygen, his soil, his water, his each and every necessity to stay alive. And then came Chandramukhi, who helped him to get his oxygen while being with her. Somehow I felt a bit relieved when he died, because his life was way more painful and dreadful than death itself.
Chandramukhi
"Jis aurat ki jagah mein kabhi na le paungi, uske charnon ki dhool le rahi hu"
A woman who lived a life, found a love, found her love's love, still loved him, and let her love go for his love. Just think what had gone through her, a person who loved his beloved knowing the fact that she is never going to get him for life. Someone who was ready to sell her everything, even her own soul just for him. Someone who lived a painful life happily.
I wrote so much about this movie is because this movie always helps me write about love, about my life, about the pains in one's life, all the dreadful situations one as to go through, in a sweet way.

Queerness in Indian Media
↳Film: DEDH ISHQIYA (2014, Hindi) dir. ABHISHEK CHAUBEY
Dedh Ishqiya is a dark comedy which follows two criminals, Khalu (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi), who decide to con a widowed noblewoman, Begum Para (Madhuri Dixit). Unbeknownst to them, Begum Para has got a plan of her own: find a rich suitor, swindle him out of his money, then run away with her maid, Muneera (Huma Qureshi), with whom she is in love. The womens' plan takes several alarming turns, but ultimately Begum Para and Muneera are able to trick Khalu and Babban, elope together, and live happily ever after.
The lesbian relationship is loosely based off of Ismat Chughtai's 1942 short story Lihaaf, which was an extremely controversial story in British colonial India for its allusions to sexuality and lesbianism, and which resulted in the author being called for an obscenity trial. The short story includes abusive and pedophilic elements which Dedh Ishqiya does away with; instead, Begum Para and Muneera's relationship is one of mutual love between adults.
Abhishek Chaubey discusses his films, including how he came to include the "lesbian strain" in Dedh Ishqiya and how "learned friends" helped him with coding the relationship, here
The actress Madhuri Dixit has been in multiple gay and gay-coded media, both as a supportive character and as the gay character herself. She has also been supportive in real life of the LGBTQ community.
#bollywood#dedh ishqiya#queerness in indian media#'tumblr user pariaritzia weren't the last 2 posts also madhuri dixit media' yes it is and the next one is too lmao#anyway. there is a reason she is a gay icon for many gay indians#this is one of my absolute favourite movies and the soundtrack is so nice#kya hoga is my second favourite song of all time#also just. muslim characters. multiple muslim actors. muslim indian lesbian...that's ME.

Nirbhau Nirvair
Shauq
Udd Jayega
Phero Na Najariya
Ghode Pe Sawaar
Rubaaiyaan
#bollywood#qala#I had trouble with nirbhau nirvair so I just used the netflix subtitle even though I'm not fully pleased with the first half of it#up until now translating is like yeah whatever slight headache but sure#but the lyrics in this movie are like. whew. I am fighting for my life to keep even an ounce of the poetry in these. and I am failing.#anyway rubaaiyaan is my favourite but I also really like udd jayega#and that line in shauq that I used for this gifset is like.....okay.....sometimes romantic lines are good#the wordplay is so much more concise in urdu though....rip to the english language#adventures in gifmaking

New Bollywood movie to add to the list of Bollywood movie that have utterly destroyed my heart, made me question existence, and fed my soul an array of beautiful emotions and a story for the ages : Kalank.
No, seriously, I'm gonna need a minute here, guys.
This film is ridiculously gorgeous, I mean, the outfits? The sets? The choreography? The lightning and the colours? I'm. I'm speechless. Why is this film so beautiful.
I love the songs, First Class is one of the first Bollywood song I've heard, and one of the first Arijit Singh's song, and I actually had no idea it was from the movie. Ghar More Pardesiya has beautiful lyrics, Kalank is cute and heartbreaking, Tabaah Ho Gaye made me cry... I'm adding the entire album to my list of albums I actually listen to in their entirety, which is a very short list.
Can I sing Alia and Varun's praises again? I know that's three movies of theirs in a row, but what can I say, when ou recognize talent, there's only one thing to do, scream about it to everyone willing (and unwilling) to listen to you go raving mad. Right, but seriously, Varun in this movie? With that hair and the khol eyes? The way he acts with his eyes in a way very reminiscing of Shah Rukh Khan and that the only other current Bollywood actor I've seen acting so well is Ranveer Singh? I swear I forget to breath when he's looking like that.
Alia and Madhuri Dixit ma'am's scenes together were fantastic, the raw beauty and power of these women, the sheer emotions they can make you feel with one look, one tilt of the head, one barely there smile...
And I haven't even talked about the story itself yet, but yeah. Love and hatred, vengeance and destruction, until it becomes the destruction of your own self, until hatred becomes love and love becomes hatred and you don't know anymore who you are, what you want, what you stand for... It is one of my favourite kind of stories, after all, love and destruction as the two sides of the same coin is a never-ending well of inspiration and motifs.
Anyway. That was an absolutely fascinating, mesmerizing and heartbreaking almost-three-hours of my life.
#rapha talks#rapha watches movies#bollywood#bollywood movies#kalank#varun dhawan#alia bhatt#madhuri dixit#list of favourite movies#(yeah it makes the list immediately there's no doubt about that)#(i'm also going to have to shuffle around my list of top 5 bollywood movie. bajirao mastani and kalank becomes number 3 tied up -#and pardes and jab tak hai jaan become number 5)

Naina fixed Bunny!?
Actually, they fixed each other. Bunny taught her to love herself the way she is. He told her how cool and brave she is, to go on a trip with total strangers. He taught her things that even she didn't know about herself.
“Khud pe daya karna band karo, aur khud se pyaar karna seekho.”
Naina taught him to stop running to experience everything that this world can offer. Cause that's impossible. She taught him to live in the present, to enjoy whatever there is in the 'now'. Worrying about the near future, even if it's about making it to the light and sound show, may make us miss the beautiful sunset right in front of us.
“Life mein jitna bhi try karo, kuch na kuch toh chootega hi. Isliye yahin, isi pal ka mazza lete hain.”
Together, they kinda fixed me too. Here's to my favorite movie 💗
