Ishq Vishk (2003) is one of the first movies I watched like an obsession. And while it is easy to dismiss it as another cliched college romance, there is a lot more to it. For starters, Damandeep Singh Baggan plays a cliched Sardar character called 'Dimpy'. I know this was a common trope in Bollywood films but this is where it gets interesting. Dimpy has only one line in the entire movie! He talks at multiple points during the movie but always uses the line "Kya baat kar raha hai yaar?" (with small tweaks occasionally)

Here's everything you may have missed while watching "Wake Up Sid". In the very first shot of the movie, we can see a copy of the "Mumbai Beat" magazine on Sid's desk.

Here's everything you may have missed while watching "Ye Jawani Hai Deewani". In the opening credits where they are sending invitation baskets, one of the names is "Kabir Khan". In fact, it's the only other name card visible in the entire sequence besides "Kabir Thapar" (Ranbir Kapoor's character)

Amongst my absolute favourite musicians of all time, one name that is certainly near the top is of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sahab. I don’t know if any such data exists, but I am pretty sure he would also be among the most widely sold international artists in India. (1/43) This is a thread about Nusrat sahab’s connections with India - his first performance here, songs blatantly copied from his compositions, his non-film albums done here, and also his work in Bollywood. So buckle up, coz this is gonna be very very loooong. (2/43)
