137: School Daze: Taare Zameen Par and Hindi Medium

Bollywood is For Lovers

It’s back to school season, at least for some people, and we are hitting the books with two films about the right to education.
Notes:

• Paani on launchgood.com, donations to Pakistani refugees
• floods.pk, a list of charities in the region trying to help
• 67th Filmfare Awards
• These awards are just copying the BiFL Awards
• We need to watch Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi
• Erin loves back to school shopping and Canadian department stores
• Taare Zameen Par
• Akira Kurosawa
• Dyslexia
• Aamir Khan is a magic art fairy

(INTERVAL (“Jame Raho” from Taare Zameen Par)

• Hindi Medium
• The film actually came out after the 2016 Uri Attack, which led to ban of Pakistani actors in Bollywood
• Angrezi Medium
• Deepak Dobriyal redeems himself in our eyes
• Irrfan Khan’s eyes

Next time: Bachchan!
