Dil Bole Hadippa! (2009) 

A spirited Indian girl wants nothing more than to play professional cricket, but there are no girl's teams in Veera's area. While having to fill in as a man in her uncle's dance crew one night, it hits her: Veera could disguise herself as a man and play cricket. The local leader of the Indian Tigers asks his son, Rohan, to come back from London for six months to train the team so they can win their next match against the Pakistan Champs. Meanwhile, Rohan meets and falls for Veera, thinking she is her own brother, Veer, from the team. Rohan doesn't realize this until the middle of the championship cricket match, and he loses it. Will he manage to forgive Veera and win the game?

*I would probably watch this again - I really like the main actress. The music was fun, the actors were attractive, and it reminded me a lot of the American film "She's the Man" (which was based off Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night").*

InFilm to Watch: Chennai Express (2013)

Chennai Express (2013)

 Rahul is raised by a kind yet needy grandfather, and it is not until he dies that Rahul, at the age of 40, gets the chance to explore the world – just as soon as he scatters his grandfather's ashes. While on the train to spread the ashes, Rahul helps a girl catch the train, and then he unwittingly assists her four captors. The girl, Meena, is being forced to marry someone, and they try to escape several times, but the “goons” thwart them. Rahul is then introduced to Meena's powerful father and the village. Rahul doesn't speak the language and simply nods along to Meena's story when she tells everyone she and Rahul are in love, and then they run!

*This was a fun story and quite comical. It has some romance and drama, but overall it was just upbeat and happy. I'd probably watch this again, even though there was NO KISSING. *

KDrama to Watch: Faith, a.k.a. The Great Doctor (2012)

Faith/The Great Doctor (2012)

Grade: B-

24 Episodes 

 Plastic surgeon Yoo Eun-soo is kidnapped by the famed General Choi Young of medieval Korea. The queen had been attacked, and the only hope of saving her (and the early nation of South Korea) was to find a doctor from “heaven” through the “heaven's gate.” Eun-soo is pulled back through time and saves the queen, but along the way she finds mysterious clues addressed to her, in her own handwriting, from paper that looks at least a hundred years old. The king refuses to let Eun-soo return, as he realizes that having a doctor from heaven at his side will help him in his political endeavors. All Choi Young wishes to do is uphold his vow to help Eun-soo return.

*I LOVED Lee Min-ho as the General, but the romance was not the primary focus of the story, as I would have liked. It was also pretty violent (probably true to the times), they didn't do as much with the “inner power” as they could have, and the ending was somewhat lackluster. Might watch again* 

Bonus Picture, just because Lee Min-ho is so good-looking!
