These are my headcanons on the inspirations behind some characters of LPS 2012:

Penny Ling

Her name is inspired by the Beatles’ classic song “Penny Lane.” 🎶

Pepper Clark

Likely a nod to the legendary Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 🎸 The same band is a great coincidence!!

Vinnie Terrio

His name is inspired by Tony Manero, the iconic dancing star from Saturday Night Fever. Whoaaa!!!🕺

Minka Mark

The name Minka could come from actress Minka Kelly, known for her role as Lyla on Friday Night Lights. The last name “Mark” might refer to painting or “making a mark” 🎨

Zoe Trent

Her name might be drawn from:

Zoe Washburne, the strong and stylish character from Firefly.

Trent Lane, the laid-back musician from the animated series Daria. Coincidence in the musical subject?!

Russell Ferguson

Idk the inspiration behind Russell’s name yet, but it feels like the most formal of the pets’ names, aligning with his meticulous and organized nature. 🦔

Sunil Nevla

“Sunil” is a common Indian name, and “Nevla” means mongoose in Hindi. Many people in India share the name Sunil, such as actor Sunil Dutt, cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, author Sunil Gangopadhyay, artist Sunil Das and so on!!!

Sunil Dutt in the image.

Other Characters I noticed in the show

Shahrukh

Named after Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, often called the “King of Bollywood.” 🎥

Esteban Banderas

A reference to Antonio Banderas.

Dodger and Twist

Their names are directly taken from Charles Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and The Artful Dodger. 📚

Mrs. Twombly

Her name might reference Cy Twombly, a celebrated abstract artist. This could reflect Mrs. Twombly’s own creative and eccentric nature, don't you think?

The Jewish Bollywood Star: Esther Abraham

She was India's first female film producer

Esther Abraham was a Jewish Bollywood superstar and the first female film producer in India. She was a proud observant Jew even while shaping modern Indian culture.

Esther was born in Calcutta in 1916 to an Orthodox Jewish family. The Abrahams were Baghdadi Jews who had emigrated from Iraq in the 19th century. In school Esther excelled academically and athletically. She was a talented hockey player with a roomful of trophies. Esther was also an artist who attended Cambridge University after high school and majored in art.

After university, Esther became a kindergarten teacher at a Jewish school in Calcutta, but she yearned to be a performer. Her first job in the entertainment industry was as a dancer for a silent movie theater. Esther’s job was to entertain the audience during a pause in the film while the reel were changed.

Many members of Esther’s family were talented musicians and performers. She went to visit an actress cousin in Bombay who was appearing in a theater production. The director noticed tall, beautiful Esther and gave her a screen test.

Esther did so well on the test that she soon appeared in her first movie, Bhikaran, in 1936. Around this time she was given the screen name Pramila. Audiences fell in love with Pramila and she quickly became one of the most famous actresses in India. She also worked as a model and appeared on many magazine covers. In 1947, at age 31, Esther won the first Miss India contest – while pregnant with her fifth child.

At that time in India, the movie industry was controlled by a handful of extremely wealthy producers who exploited their actors and crew members and paid them only a measly salary. Esther Abraham decided to change that. She defied the studio system by becoming the first female producer of Bollywood feature films. Esther formed her own production company, Silver Productions, and produced sixteen feature films. She treated her cast and crew with respect and paid them well.

Esther starred in 30 films. In addition to being an actress and producer, she did her own stunts and worked as a stunt double for other performers. Esther also designed her own costumes and jewelry for every production.

Famous for her enchantingly beautiful eyes, audiences didn’t know that her eyesight was very poor and she did dance moves by counting the steps. Audiences also were likely unaware that she was Jewish – and probably wouldn’t have cared. Unlike so many countries with Jewish communities, India has no history of antisemitism.

Esther’s daughter Naqi Jahan was crowned Miss India in 1967, and they are the only mother and daughter who both won the title. Her son Haidar Ali is a successful Indian actor and screenwriter. Haidar described his mother: “A woman who was gifted by God with internal power and strength… she magnetized power…. One the home front she kept us together [clenching his fist] like this.”

Esther Abraham appeared in her last film in 2005, at age 90, playing a grandmother in the movie Thaang. She died a few months after its release. Until the end of her long life, Esther remained a practicing Jew. Her funeral was at the Maghen David synagogue, and her son Maurice read Psalms in Hebrew. Esther was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Mumbai.

For entertaining audiences for seventy years, and for being the first female film producer in India, we honor Esther Abraham, aka Pramila, as this week’s Thursday Hero.

268: Laxmikant-Pyarelal // Dosti

Dosti Laxmikant-Pyarelal 1964, Angel

Composing partners Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma worked together for 35 years and, per Hindustan Times,composed about 2,900 songs for 750 different films during that span—a level of productivity basically unfathomable outside of the specific context of the insanely prolific Bollywood studio system. 1966’s Dosti soundtrack was their artistic and commercial breakthrough, and as such it occupies a significant place in Indian music history. I’ve never seen the film, though its cover features two crying boys hugging so it may be up my alley. The Wikipedia synopsis makes it sound like a melodrama without parallel (aside from several hundred others made by Bollywood that same year). The movie opens with a boy’s father dying in an industrial catastrophe, his mother fainting and falling down the stairs (to her death), and then the boy getting disabled in an accident of his own. He then makes friends with a homeless blind boy, and the two chums are then rigorously wedgied by life itself for the next three hours until a happy ending imposes itself.

Working with lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri (a notable leftist poet), Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s songs are strongly credited with Dosti’s enduring success, and while I’m neither an expert in their oeuvre nor Bollywood music as a whole, I can tell you this is beautiful music any fan of adventurous vintage pop should adore. The songs all strike my ear as happy, but with a tear welling in their eyes. It’s more subtle stuff than I associate with contemporary Bollywood: “Gudiya Kab Tak Na Hasogy” twinkles and minces to a gentle dance rhythm, leaving room for soulful flute and harmonium (or accordion?) solos and the melancholy lilt of a mandolin. Both members of the duo had a strong education in Western and Indian classical music, and these sentimental songs find the sweet spot between the traditions, with vigorous tabla rhythms and droning strings meeting melodies that evoke spaghetti western scores (“Janewalo Zara”) or practically quote “Ode to Joy” (“Rahi Manwa”).

It was the convention at the time for a reliable cadre of vocalists to dub over the singing voices of the lead actors, and Laxmikant-Pyarelal established long-standing relationships with their favourites. Dosti features two of their standbys, with Mohammed Rafi handling five of the six songs on the 10” soundtrack I own, and Lata Mangeshkar taking the other. Both absolute legends on the subcontinent, while Rafi and Mangeshkar were each well into adulthood by the time they recorded these songs they give such naively haloed performances that if you can squint (your ears?) just a little it’s easy to imagine they might have originated from the lips of children.

The scope of my expertise in this area is extremely limited, but if it’s not clear, Dosti gets my highest recommendation. If you should come across a ‘60s record with the Laxmikant-Pyarelal imprimatur at your local used shop, give it a shot.

Comfort movies

Tagged by the adorable @strwbi-laces !

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara: one of my Absolute Favourites of All Time. I will sit down and watch every day if given the chance. It's about the trials of friendship, life, career and self growth, and it's a literal gem.

3 Idiots: also one of the Absolute Favourites of All Time. I love literally everything about this one. It addresses the problems with the colossal expectations of the Indian education system and how it leads to the destruction of the mental health of students.

Taare Zameen Par: I always cry whenever I watch this movie, every time. The third- and last- one of my Absolute Favourites. The highlighting of dyslexia and the way society treats it is so relatable and real; that's what makes me love it so much.

Coco: Yes, the animated movie. There is so much about this movie that I love, it's honestly so amazing. I don't think I need to say much about it.

Bajirao Mastani: it's my comfort film because of the fashion, the set, the songs, etc. Basically, I love it for the artistic direction. My favourite character is Kashibai, obv.

Raazi: Gods I love this one. I've been trying to get the book this was inspired by— Calling Sehmat— for such a long time. I hope I get it this year. The story follows a 19yo girl turned spy for India during the Indo Pak war, and it's so riveting. 10/10 always recommend.

Moana: legit most of the non-Bollywood films on here are gonna be animated lol. But Moana is just so so dear to my heart, and if it gets a sequel, it had better be as awesome as Frozen 2 was, which brings us to..

The Frozen Franchise: all of it. Songs, plot, characters, the effort they put into the animation. Just. All of it.

Faster Fene: this is a Marathi film. A murder mystery/thriller that deals with the corruption in the Education system of India. The main character is just so smart (and he's one of my favourite Marathi actors) and everything comes together so well. In love with this one.

Legally Blonde: I would never, ever leave out the most iconic feminist film of all time. Elle Woods is who I aspire to be. Uhh.. with a little less pink. I have nothing against pink— in fact, I quite like it— it's just that my favourite colour is blue

I don't watch many movies, but yeah, here's my top 10, in no particular order. Tagging my darling, awesome @padfootastic and anyone else who wants to!

[twopoppies]

Hey Gina!! I was just scrolling thru your blog and all I'm saying is that I totally agree with the anon that said that they don't want H&L to come to India.

I'm Indian too and trust me the objectification and judgement faced by celebrities is crazy here. The homophobia here is absolutely mind blowing too.

Celebrities are treated as if they're just objects for people's entertainment and nothing else. You don't like what a celebrity wears? Fuck them. You don't like that two celebrities wanted their marriage to be private? Fuck them.

The objectification of women here, oh my god. Every single fucking thing they wear is objectified, every single fucking thing they do is faced by judgement.

Once an actress went to her husband's cricket game here, and the team didn't really perform very well. Guess whose fault it was? The actress's.

(Not that the celebrities are all innocent either. A celebrity ran over 5 homeless people sleeping on the street once. One died. The worst thing is that he never really faced any repercussions. And he also poached two blackbucks once.)

Ed Sheeran came here once, as the anon mentioned, and all the Bollywood actors treated him like he was their ticket to fame, and not a real person.

Don't get me wrong, I love my country, but sometimes the people here act rally shitty.

I'd love to see Harry and Louis one day but I really don't want them to experience this shit.

Sorry, I was trying to tell that I don't want them too come here but it soon turned into a rant about my country😅

TL;DR- I love my country but also hate the situation in here and I really don't want the boys to come here. I also wholeheartedly agree with the anon. And also love your blog.

Hi sweetheart. Oh wow. I honestly can’t even imagine how it would be if they went there. It really would be so nice if more artists did live streams so that countries who rarely get tours could experience these shows.

The Faces Who Made Kerala Proud

Kerala boasts the highest literacy rate in India and as per the latest census it has a projection of 94%. With the sobriquets ‘God’s Own Country’, ‘Land of Coconut’ and ‘Spice Garden of India’, Kerala has always been in the limelight from the perspective of tourism. Thanks to its incredible geographical features. Although being a small state, occupying around 1% of India’s total area, Kerala is always presented as an honorary example for its rich culture, education, ayurveda and other development. Kerala has also given rise to several personalities who have made Kerala and India tremendously proud.

P T Usha - Frequently called ‘Queen of Indian Track and Field’, P. T. Usha was born in Kozhikode, Kerala on 27th June, 1964. Nicknamed the Golden Girl, P T Usha has been associated with Indian Athletes since 1979. She had an illustrious career in athletics and won 33 international medals.

Initially, Yesudas was groomed by his own father Augustine Joseph, who was a classical musician and a stage actor, and later he joined the Music Academy. His career started with playback singing in Malayalam and Kollywood movies in the 1960s and in the mid-1970s, he set his foot in the Bollywood industry. Yesudas garnered 7 National Film Awards for the best singer in Indian Cinema.

Arundhati Roy - A renowned novelist and political activist, Arundhati Roy was borned on 24th November, 1961. Although she took birth in Shillong, she shifted to Kerala, to her mother’s maternal house at the age of 2, and completed her schooling there. She has won several awards both for her writing talent and social work. Arundhati Roy began her career by writing the screenplay ‘In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones’ in 1989, which was directed by her husband Pradip Krishen. Her semi-autobiographical novel ‘The God of Small Things’ in 1996 brought her worldwide fame and received the Booker Prize in 1997. 

Vidya Balan - The popular Indian actress was born on 1st January, 1978, in Palakkad, Kerala. She has played the role of a strong female protagonist in several movies.

There are many more individuals who inscribed their identity in Indian history for their distinguished attributes.

Exploring the vibrant worlds of the Gujarati, Bhojpuri, and Marathi film industries.

Among the oldest and biggest cinema industries around the globe is found in India. A public screening of an Indian movie occurred at the beginning of 1913. It was called Raja Harischandra. Finding someone to play female characters at the time was quite difficult. It has only recently been questioned whether the middle and lower classes still associate acting with a decline in virtue, female chastity, and credibility.

Gujarati Film Industry

Among the important regional and popular film industries in Indian cinema is Gujarati Cinema. The business has reached its best point over the past ten years thanks to sane and competent directors who have won the audiences' high praise. The movies have original stories, excellent acting, beautiful music, and a wide range of genres, including Family, Tragedy, Comedy, Mystery, Sports, Sci-Fi, Historical Drama, Action, and Relationship.

At the 64th National Film Awards, the movie "Wrong Side Raju" won the National Film Award for Best Motion Picture in Gujarati. The next film, "Reva," took up the 66th National Film Award for Best Motion Picture in Gujarati.

The Gujarati film industry's most admirable quality is that it consistently embraces Bollywood stars who are not Gujarati (Bollywood). Amitabh Bachchan, a Bollywood celebrity, and Jaya Bachchan both had cameo appearances in "Carry On Kesar."

The Gujarati film sector has produced numerous films filmed outside of India, demonstrating the sector's rapid expansion. The industry supports artistic filmmaking and its promotion across various media.

More than 8 crore Gujaratis and a global audience have been reached by Gujarati cinema thanks to innovation and art over the years. Gujaratis are wealthy, and the Gujarati movie business will soon reach new heights of development. There are several Gujarati actors in Bollywood as well.

Bhojpuri Film Industry

In recent years, Bhojpuri cinema has seen a significant evolution. This has enticed numerous prominent Bollywood actors to join the Bhojpuri film industry.

Bhojpuri film was fighting for its life and was on the verge of extinction until lately. However, the collaborative effort of the Bhojpuri film industry's creators, directors, and producers brought the sector back to life by turning it profitable once more.

Bhojpuri cinema has established a niche today, and its popularity on the international market has skyrocketed. There is a worldwide audience for Bhojpuri films, not just in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The Indian diaspora living in Brazil, Fiji, South Africa, Guyana, Suriname, Mozambique, and Trinidad & Tobago enjoys watching Bhojpuri films. To know more about this in detail you can log into our Bhojpuri film industry app.

Marathi Film Industry

The Marathi film industry has continuously produced works of art. The business has developed a reputation for being content-centric and important thanks to movies like Fandry, Court, and Kaasav. A few years ago, the phenomenal box office success of Marathi films like Sairat, Natsamrat, and Lai Bhaari gave the impression that the industry was prosperous. But, the reality of Marathi cinema's box office performance could be better. 2019 witnessed 11 weeks where three or more Marathi films were released on the same day, which is unusual in an industry where even a solo movie struggles to maintain at the box office. This gives these movies no chance at the box office.

The Marathi movie business has its work cut out for it as the pandemic effect on the box office fades over time, and the box office throughout languages starts to rebound. It must address some fundamental structural issues for more sustained success at the box office. To know more about this in detail, you can log into our Marathi film industry app.

Bollywood is acknowledged as having the biggest global film production sector. In all, 2961 films were made in India, including 1602 features in 2012. India offers some of the lowest prices in the planet for movie tickets.

Ranveer Singh – A Trailblazer in Bollywood and Beyond

Bollywood has witnessed the rise of many talented actors over the years, but few have managed to create the kind of impact that Ranveer Singh has. Known for his electrifying performances, dynamic screen presence, and eccentric fashion choices, Singh has become a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. His journey from an aspiring actor to one of India’s biggest superstars is nothing short of inspiring.

Unlike many Bollywood stars who come from film families, Singh had no industry connections. His rise to fame is a testament to his hard work, determination, and ability to take risks. From his debut in Band Baaja Baaraat to playing iconic roles in movies like Bajirao Mastani, Gully Boy, and Padmaavat, he has continuously evolved as an actor, pushing the boundaries of Indian cinema.

Beyond acting, Singh has also ventured into music and entrepreneurship, cementing his status as a multi-talented personality. His association with Hindi hip-hop and his deep involvement in the creative aspects of filmmaking showcase his passion for the arts. Whether it's his fearless approach to roles or his larger-than-life persona off-screen, Singh is a true game-changer in Bollywood.

The Making of a Superstar

Singh’s journey began with a dream and an unwavering belief in himself. He studied creative arts in the U.S. before returning to India to chase his Bollywood aspirations. Like most struggling actors, he faced his fair share of rejections before landing his big break.

His debut in Band Baaja Baaraat (2010) was a game-changer. Playing the role of Bittoo Sharma, a street-smart Delhi boy, Singh won audiences over with his natural charm and impeccable comic timing. The film’s success established him as a promising newcomer, setting the stage for his illustrious career.

Singh’s dedication to his craft became evident in every role he took on. In Lootera (2013), he delivered a heart-wrenching performance, proving he was more than just a commercial star. However, it was his collaboration with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali that truly transformed his career.

A Powerhouse Performer

Singh’s ability to completely immerse himself in a character is what makes him stand out. His portrayal of Peshwa Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani (2015) showcased his versatility, earning him numerous accolades. He followed it up with Padmaavat (2018), where he played the menacing Alauddin Khilji. The role was physically and mentally demanding, but Singh’s performance was so powerful that it became one of the most talked-about aspects of the film.

His dedication to roles goes beyond just acting—he undergoes extreme physical transformations and extensive research to bring authenticity to his characters. In Gully Boy (2019), he stepped into the world of underground rap, not only acting but also rapping for the film. This performance resonated deeply with audiences, highlighting his ability to adapt to diverse roles effortlessly.

Beyond Bollywood: A Cultural Icon

Singh’s influence extends far beyond films. He has become a cultural icon, known for his fearless fashion choices and unapologetic personality. Unlike many celebrities who play it safe, Singh embraces bold, experimental outfits, making him a favorite among fashion enthusiasts.

Additionally, he has played a pivotal role in popularizing hip-hop culture in India. His involvement in Gully Boy wasn’t just limited to acting—he actively promoted the independent hip-hop scene and collaborated with emerging artists. His passion for music led him to launch his own record label, IncInk, which gives a platform to young hip-hop artists.

Apart from his artistic endeavors, Singh is also a brand ambassador for numerous global companies, reinforcing his position as a top-tier celebrity. His ability to connect with audiences of all ages makes him a favorite among brands and fans alike.

The Future of Ranveer Singh

With every project, Singh continues to surprise and reinvent himself. Whether it’s taking on challenging roles, exploring new creative avenues, or contributing to India’s pop culture landscape, he remains unstoppable. His upcoming films promise to bring even more groundbreaking performances, further solidifying his legacy in Indian cinema.

How to Earn Real Money by Playing Games: My Bollywood Gaming Adventure!

Hey there, fellow cinema lovers! Ever dreamed of turning your Bollywood obsession into cold, hard cash? Let me tell you my story that’ll blow your mind about how I discovered how to earn real money by playing games right from my smartphone, all while living my ultimate Bollywood fantasy! Growing up, movies were more than just entertainment for me — they were my escape, my inspiration, my entire world. I could recite dialogues from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge before I could solve my math homework. Little did I know that my obsessive love for Bollywood would one day become my ticket to earning real money!

From Passive Viewer to Active Cinephile

My transformation began on a lazy Sunday afternoon when I discovered Fanizm. It wasn’t just another app — it was a portal that would completely revolutionize how I experienced cinema. Remember those endless hours spent watching Pushpa 2: The Rule, memorizing every dialogue and scene? Now, those hours of passionate movie-watching could actually put money in my pocket!

The first time I played a quiz about Pushpa 2, something magical happened. Each question wasn’t just a test of knowledge; it was a journey through the film’s intricate narrative. Allu Arjun’s powerful performance wasn’t just entertainment anymore — it became a strategic opportunity to showcase my deep understanding of cinema and the ultimate answer for how to earn real money by playing games.

Turning Movie Passion into Real Earnings

What made Fanizm truly special was how it transformed my relationship with movies. No longer was I a passive viewer consuming content. I became a detective, an observer who could catch the most subtle nuances in storytelling. Every movie became a potential quiz, every dialogue a potential earning opportunity.

Take Baby John, for instance. Where earlier I might have just enjoyed the film, now I was analyzing its narrative structure, understanding the character motivations, and breaking down the cinematographic techniques. The app wasn’t just helping me earn money — it was making me a more intelligent, more engaged viewer.

The daily quizzes became my new addiction. I would wake up excited to test my knowledge, competing with friends and film enthusiasts from across the country. The time-bound challenges kept me on my toes, making every quiz feel like an adrenaline-pumping game show.

More Than Just Money: A Community of Film Lovers

But Fanizm offered something far more valuable than just cash rewards. It connected me with a community of passionate cinephiles who saw movies the way I did — not just as entertainment, but as an art form, a cultural expression, a way of understanding the world.

Our discussions went beyond quiz answers. We would debate character arcs, discuss directorial techniques, and share insights about the evolving landscape of Indian cinema. Suddenly, my love for movies wasn’t just a personal passion — it was a shared experience that connected me with people across the country.

The Emotional Reward of Cinematic Knowledge

While earning money was exciting, the real reward was the transformation in my understanding of cinema. Each quiz made me a more attentive viewer, a more critical thinker. I started appreciating films not just for their entertainment value, but for their artistic merit.

Movies like Pushpa 2 and Baby John were no longer just visual experiences. They became complex narratives that I could dissect, understand, and appreciate on a deeper level. The monetary rewards were wonderful, but the real treasure was the enhanced perspective I gained about storytelling.

How to Get Started with Cinematic Rewards

Fanizm operates on a simple yet engaging mechanism where users can participate in time-bound quizzes about movies, actors, and Bollywood trivia. Each quiz is carefully crafted to test different aspects of film knowledge, from plot details to behind-the-scenes facts.

The platform offers multiple ways to earn rewards. Users can join daily, weekly, and season-long game types, with options to participate in official and user-created tournaments.

What makes Fanizm unique is its coin-based reward system — you can earn coins by winning prediction contests, which can then be redeemed to join more contests or buy bollywood movie tickets.

A Message to Fellow Movie Lovers

To everyone wondering how to earn real money by playing games while pursuing their passion — Fanizm is your answer. But more importantly, it’s your gateway to a deeper, more meaningful relationship with cinema.

Fanizm isn’t just an app. It’s a platform that celebrates the art of cinema, that turns viewers into true cinephiles. It transforms your movie-watching from a passive activity to an engaging, rewarding experience.
