FARAH KHAN: The OG Brain Rot Queen of Bollywood!

 FARAH KHAN: The OG Brain Rot Queen of Bollywood!

If Bollywood had a ‘masala’ recipe book, Farah Khan would be the undisputed master chef. Her films? A deliciously chaotic blend of over-the-top drama, whistle-worthy dialogues, dazzling song sequences, and the kind of comedy that makes zero sense but is 100% entertaining. Whether it’s Shah Rukh Khan flipping his hair in Main Hoon Na, Akshay Kumar scamming the world in Tees Maar Khan, or Deepika Padukone's Ek Chutki Sindoor moment in Om Shanti Om, Farah’s films are the very definition of brain rot—and we love her for it!

THE REWATCH VALUE IS UNMATCHED!

Let's be honest—watching a Farah Khan film today is just as fun, if not more than when they first came out. In fact, rewatching them in 2025 is an even more unhinged experience because now we truly appreciate how ahead of her time she was.

Om Shanti Om – A full-on Bollywood fever dream where reincarnation, revenge, and disco collide. The film knew it was extra and leaned in hard.
“Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost” is still a life motto
in the most filmy yet non dramatic way.

Main Hoon Na – SRK slow-mo running through a college campus while
"Raghavan again!" echoes in the background? ICONIC. 
Plus, the film gave us Amrita Rao
as a nerdy, frizzy-haired girl who turns into a saree-clad stunner
overnight—Farah invented the glow-up trope.

Tees Maar Khan- This was Farah at her most unhinged, and honestly, we respect it. Sheila Ki Jawani alone made this film worth watching. Sure, the plot was borderline nonsensical, but that’s exactly what made it fun. Akshay Kumar’s overconfident conman act, the ridiculous Khan caper, and that slapstick humor—it was so bad, it was good.
This Banger would get an OSSCAARRR for peak brain rot. period.

Happy New Year – A film about heist, revenge, and dance, starring a team of misfits (including Abhishek Bachchan playing two roles just for the vibes).
"Maadar.... chhod na yaar".  "Dance ek 8 hai 8". ICONIC.
The logic? Nowhere to be found. The entertainment? Unlimited.

Her movies are self-aware before self-awareness became a thing. She made a career out of roasting Bollywood while being the ultimate Bollywood fan herself. The random slow-motion entries, the exaggerated dialogues, the emotional monologues that make you cry and laugh at the same time—she knew exactly what she was doing.

So, if you’re in the mood for pure Bollywood brain rot, a Farah Khan movie marathon is the answer. Because no matter what, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost!

The Dark Side of Instant Gratification in the digital age!

The Dark Side of Instant Gratification in the digital age! We’re all used to getting what we want instantly in today’s digital world. While this is a well-worn topic, I’m here to share my take on how constantly chasing quick fixes is slowly ruining our patience and long-term goals. I am Titiksha Desai, a second year student of MIT WPU, and i would like to use this platform to share my thoughts and opinions with y'all! We live in an era where everything is just a click away—food, clothes, information, love. But here’s the catch: this era of instant gratification is slowly but surely eroding one of the most underrated virtues we have: patience. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there: waiting for a website to load, only to refresh it in frustration as if we’re living in the Stone Age. Or binge-watching an entire season of a show in one sitting, because why wait when “Next Episode” is so inviting? The issue is not just about wasting time—it’s about what we’re not learning in the process....

Why English Vinglish is the ultimate comfort movie

  Why English Vinglish is the ultimate comfort movie! Some movies are like a warm cup of adrak chai on a rainy day—soothing, familiar, and always hitting the right spot. English Vinglish is one such masterpiece. Whether you’re in need of motivation, a good laugh, or just want to watch a simple and cozy classical, this movie delivers every single time. Here’s why we keep coming back to it like it’s our favorite cozy blanket. Shashi Godbole = The OG Relatable Queen Shashi’s struggles are so real. Who hasn’t felt slightly out of place in a fancy setting or been roasted for their English pronunciation? I feel you Shashi, I feel you. I also can't differentiate between AMERICANO, CAPPUCINO, LATTE!! Watching her hustle to learn English while casually making laddoos like a boss is the kind of multitasking we aspire to. The New York Diaries we secretly want Let’s be honest: seeing Shashi navigate the big city with that desi swag  (and Laurent lowkey simping for her) gave us all main...
