I decided to try and knock out some of the 1990's movies that are out in internet-land, so December had lots of subtitle-free films. I was struck, particularly with the Telugu film, with the range of types of stories and characters vs. the current films. I watched films in which the hero didn't end up with the heroine, and movies that were a straight comedies. It could be that there are more types of Telugu films being made, but I'm just catching the big, tent-pole, hero movies where problems are solved with fists, not pratfalls, and the hero ends up with the heroine, if not two.

Cheers to the New Year!

To ring in 2012*, here are my favorite screencaps of Prakash Raj raising a glass:

Priyam, Venghai, Bhagareetha, V.I.P., Vastadu Naa Raju
A variety of villains, and one nice guy. Read to the end for pirates!


I was looking at my master list of all of the Indian movies I've seen, and decided to run a little formula:
Prakash Raj has been in 21% (1 in 5) of all Indian film I've seen , and in 38% (2 in 5) of all of the South Indian films I've seen.

This alleged likeness of Prakash Raj makes me sad, too.
