If you thought I was talking about a particular show, you’re wrong. Hello, I’m Priya Arora (maybe you knew that already!) and I’m a glutton when it comes to Indian television and movies.
I’ve spent years writing about Bollywood and South Asian shows/actors/creators, and amid a pandemic, we all know there’s way too much content coming out. So, each week, I’ll bring you a roundup of what I’ve been watching: from new Indian movies and shows to hit streaming platforms, to rewatches of classic Hindi cinema (hello, ‘90s). I’ll also give you a heads up on what’s dropping soon, what I’ve been reading, and maybe throw in an interview, if I can. I’ve also been trying to broaden my Indo-centric worldview, so be on the look out for more content from South Asia as whole!
I hope you’ll join me- and still follow my work over at The New York Times, where I’ll still be covering all the things I love.
Have a recommendation on what I should watch, especially if it’s not from India? Want to tell me how wrong I am about Bobby Deol’s stunning comeback? Feel free to drop me a line! (And tell your friends!)
