Your Bollywood Weekly 10/20 - Happy Diwali and Happy New Year!

[yourbolly...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone!

Week 6 is a very special week because it falls on New Years! Happy Diwali, and Happy New Year to all my readers, friends, family, and everyone else. This past year has been a very eventful one for me and it's been filled with all kinds of happiness, I hope the new year brings you all the same and more! Since we all have better things to do today - like eat sweets, dance, play with fire(works), and spend amazing quality time with family, I'm going to keep this week's issue on the shorter side. Let's begin!

"July 4th + New Years = Diwali"

The way I answer the question: "So how do you celebrate Diwali?"

Trailer of the Week

Vidya Balan - another underrated actress who has played so many diverse roles and just overall seems like a down to earth woman. I am very excited to share with you that she has a new movie coming out soon called Tumhari Sulu. Directors of Neerja and Hindi Medium - it's bound to have good acting, even if Vidya is the only known actress in the movie. I smiled the entire time watching the trailer - just watch. Be mine, sulu!

Trailer: Tumhari Sulu

What mood does this satisfy? I need some laughs, and not just stupid humor laughs

Song: Ban Ja Rani

What mood does this satisfy? Guy: I'm trying to 'woo' her, Girl: Hehehe, it's working

Movie of the Week

I've talked about the movie plenty already - it's definitely on the watch list for the entire family this Diwali! Secret Superstar released yesterday, it won't disappoint and doesn't need more description. Have a listen to a song that I have not yet shared with you from the movie.

Song: Gudgudi

What mood does this satisfy? Listen when you're casually skipping down the street, and laugh for no reason

Movie: Secret Superstar (Released Yesterday!)

Other songs from movie rating: 5/5

This Week's Favorite 7

Must Listen to Arijit

This has been my all time favorite since it came out.

Most Listened to Shreya Goshal

She cute, this song cute, everybody cute.

Already Choreographed Song

At least by all of the girls in your family during some sort of family event.

Definitely Downloaded Album

If you haven't seen the movie, it's a must watch - Alia crushes it #NoSurpriseThere

Underrated and Unknown

I actually haven't even seen this movie...

Most Played Track

Hear it at every Sangeet/Reception at least once, to this day.

Obviously Needed Throwback

Remember when songs were 6/7 minutes long?

This Week's 7 Diwali Inspired Hits

While Diwali doesn't make many songs about Diwali, these should hopefully fulfill some Diwali moods!

Play When: you're playing with fireworks!

Play When: you put on your sari, and you feel gorgeous

Play When: festivities are about to start

Play When: the family gets together

Play When: the food is served...yum!

Play When: you and your family randomly start to dance in the living room

Play When: you're texting your crush to wish them a Happy New Year 

(and show them how cultural you are ;))

Here is this week's playlist on YouTube recapping all the songs from above!
