There’s my boy! Great work, Ishan. Thank you, Philadelphia Dance Academy, for featuring him as part of your profiles series in which students discuss a particularly challenging ballet move and how they mastered it.
He’s come along way in the three years since he was interviewed about his love of ballet on CBS Philly.
We ring in 2026 with Single Salma, a 2025 Hindi-language romantic-comedy starring Huma Qureshi, Shreyas Talpade and Sunny Singh, directed by Nachiket Samant, written by Mudassar Aziz, Amina Khan and Ravi Kumar, streaming now on Netflix. Rated PG. Our original theme music by Ano Malee.
“It started strong as a rom-com. I was fully on board with Salma and loving the movie for the first hour. Then it went off the rails…It was very fast-paced, very energetic. It was almost too happy and too much like, you know, sunshine.”
My peeps are back in the national news! Ownership of the largest unexcavated mound in the Southeastern US, the Noquisiyi Mound, is going home to the Eastern Band of Cherokee. The culturally significant site in North Carolina is being returned after the local city council voted unanimously to transfer ownership.
Franklin, North Carolina was once part of a Cherokee mother town long before the US existed and remains a site of spiritual importance to the Cherokee people.
Grab some eggnog and a hunk of fruitcake, curl up by the fire and watch our 10th review. Always our goal. Took us a year but we made it.
We close out 2025 with Jolly LLB 3, a 2025 Hindi-language courtroom comedy starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, directed by Subhash Kapoor, written by Kapoor and Nandan Singh, streaming now on Netflix. Rated TV-14. Our original theme music by Ano Malee.
“It’s the third installment in the Jolly series of courtroom comedies…You do not have to have seen the first two. They are standalone films, but in the first one, we have a lawyer whose nickname is Jolly…The second movie is about another lawyer in a different city whose nickname is also Jolly. Jolly 3 puts them together for twice the–jollity. Double the Jollys, double the fun…One last thing before we go. Do you guys like my pajamas?”
