Hum Aapke Hain Koun

Join us as we ask the tough questions, such as: Is Tuffy the dog a good boy acting on Krishna's behalf? What is the right price for doing a proper shoe heist?

Ajeeb Daastaans
June 23, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 155 MBThe B4B crew feast their eyes on this modern slice of anthologized Bollywood craziness. These four strange tales offer glimpses into the worlds of organized crime and deep-fried wieners, the family perils of a flimsy electrical grid, the labyrinthine office politics of cake-cutting, and the mixed messages that eyes and hands can sometimes send. Also, a bit of a warning: there is a very good chance you will never look at a pressure cooker the same way again. Featuring Shrishma Naik,...
Mr. India
February 04, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 161 MBSet your watch for "invisible time" because we have an appointment with Mr. India! It's a curious mash-up of film tropes that span the 1930s to the 1970s, some of which have, uh, aged better than others. But who IS Mr. India? Why is his house so coveted by career criminals? Why does his incredibly talented girlfriend not get top billing? And, most importantly, how does glaring fancy-man villain Mogambo feel about all of this? (Spoiler: He's pleased.) Kick a soccer ball into someone'...
Sholay
December 10, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 142 MBIn some cultures, being the best bandit you can be is not about the capers pulled or the ponies ridden; it's about the friends we make along the way. And these guys are, like, super-friends, singing and riding motorcycles and shooting anyone who might stand in their path. That's right, it's time to indulge ourselves in the blood, sweat, tears, oils, and tight pants of this 1970s classic. Spicy horsecart girls, train heists, a dignified blanket-man, and all the sweet revenge you can ...
Dabangg
August 17, 2020 20:00 - 50 minutes - 117 MBThe word "preposterous" is thrown around a lot in this thrilling introduction to Salman Khan. He's an auteur whose belt buckle dancing is second to none (take that, Scorsese!), and he's here to show you his artistic vision as well as his chest. Get ready for the goofiest action-cop flick this side of the Ganges as Khan powers up hulk-style and does whatever he wants in the name of the law. From the hostile police takeover of a wedding to the incredibly thorough arm massages, all of ...
Lagaan
July 25, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 184 MBBhuvan's the name and cricket's his game - or IS it? The B4B gang has words about all 3 hours and 44 minutes of Bollywood tax-classic, Lagaan, and many of them are about Aamir Khan's arms. The rest are about media-driven unrealistic expectations of love, the ins and outs of a caste system, the cultural dissonance of man-pearls, and the sudden emergence of "dating" as a thing to be done in India - sometimes at a really long movie. Come, build a cultural bridge and maybe fall in love ...
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
May 08, 2020 19:00 - 58 minutes - 139 MBIt's the spectacular red carpet debut of B4B! Shrishma guides the gang through the 1995 classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Get ready to build a cultural bridge as true love crosses the alps, defies a frightening dad-glare, and dances its way into your heart with a little help from some Bollywood magic and probably the editor. Plus, Shrishma's very specific height-needs, the ideal evil eye-to-blessings ratio, and where to make out when you're in Ísafjörður! Featuring Shrishma Naik,...
