If you have to ask it again, then no use to confirm 😆

I know, I was just pulling TM's leg :)

Ha no, I was referring to this thread (the first thread I responded on here, a couple of people accused me of being an alter-ego of the topic maker, I went back into lurk mode for a while after that 🤣).

I’m not much of a writer but if you start the discussion on this trilogy I will chime in! They were a revelation.

Who accused you & why did you even bother to care?

Just enjoy man, no need to give importance if anyone isn't respecting your opinion.

I didn’t grow up in the social media age so I tend to be uncomfortable with unexpected hostility from strangers sometimes. On the other hand, I enjoy discussing and learning about new books and movies so I guess it’s just a matter of finding a niche… And show biz gossip is my guilty pleasure☺️

It’s all good and you’re absolutely right about not giving importance to disrespect.

Do the honors. I can myself write pages about these 3 masterpieces. Absolute delight in watching these 3.

Go ahead, man. I will join.

I will just say that the plot of Othello made a heck of a lot more sense to me set in rural UP than Venice. And Langda Tyagi’s motives were more believable than Iago’s. Likewise Nimmi’s reasons for egging on Maqbool to kill Abba-ji made way more sense than Lady Macbeth’s blood thirstiness (and the Tabu Irfan khan pairing was just *chef’s kiss*).

Haider’s “hum hain ya hum nahi hain?” was also a completely inspired adaption of Hamlet’s teenage angsty “to be or not to be” speech.

I loved Lootera! I’m a sucker for unexpected literary shoutouts 😊

English Vinglish looks cool (even though I’ve never been a Sridevi fan).

English Vinglish is not a typical Sridevi movie, it’s about a woman’s journey of self discovery and realising her worth, much like Queen. If you enjoy that kinda movies, you’ll enjoy both Queen and English Vinglish.

Watched 'Chak de India' and 'Dangal', I love sports-based movies and these definitely gave this NRI those patriotic feels I would say I liked SRK and Chak de better of the two. Both came up on several lists so thanks for the rec.

Also watched both 'Queen' and 'English Vinglish' - definitely get why you recommended those together @tinkerbelle88. I liked 'English Vinglish' more, it just seemed more sincere somehow and although I still find Sridevi's voice tinny and weird, she was very good in this and so was the supporting cast.

BettyA1 - before you ask, still haven't watched LSC and RB

Thanks - I've seen Badhai Do. Is Badhai Ho a different movie or a typo?

RRR... that Naacho song is NUTS (in a good way)! It seemed a little out there when I watched the trailer but the buzz has been very positive so I think I will check it out.
