I didn't think it was either but then I read an interview where he talked about how it was the hardest thing to maintain because he'd always cut himself trying to shave around it. So unless that interview was fabricated (which of course, is always a possibility), that's all his own little baby there. :)<br /><br />Salman on the other hand, I think I knew it was fake, but still love it to pieces. And since I really don't find him appealing shaved, I go by the principle that anything is better. <br /><br />Siddhu I do agree on that it's not relevant. It was the only proper one I could find. He sports a lot of fuzz in his early movies but it never quite takes shape. So maybe we'll give him a couple more years until we decide? :)<br /><br />As for Surya... sigh... that man just looks good in everything. I made a choice because I couldn't cheat twice, but yeah, any way shape or form, I'll take him just fine. :D<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by! It's so much fun for me to read people's opinions on this stuff! :)Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-7938772127311434672011-11-12T15:54:24.313-08:002011-11-12T15:54:24.313-08:00Dolce, Shahid and Salman's mouches are fake so...Dolce, Shahid and Salman's mouches are fake so I think they should be taken out of competition. Though I think both would rock a real moustache, if they only had the balls to grow one.<br /><br />Agree with pretty much all your choices (ugh at Prithvi's lame moustache), except Surya and Siddhu. Siddhu just doesn't have the manliness to pull it off and that picture is not a fair appraisal of Surya's simple moustache. You should have posted something from Kaakha Kaakha.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic4jPX4nK5o<br /><br />I think it's a tie for Surya with and without mouche.Leafnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-19787207274812386712011-11-10T18:17:21.398-08:002011-11-10T18:17:21.398-08:00@Ness - I already commented on how much I loved yo...@Ness - I already commented on how much I loved your post, and yes, it is QUITE surprising how we agreed on more than one (Salman in Dabangg was such a given)! LOL Happy you enjoyed this one, always a pleasure to provide some solid silly entertainment! :)<br /><br />@Jenny - hello there and welcome!! Glad you're liking it here! <br /><br />But I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you on the Anil topic: I cannot for the life of me find that man attractive, mooche or no mooche. :( I think I may have had a moment of weakness in Taal when his character was somewhat cute, but other than that, he's in the ewww category for me. :(Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-37694480773261932312011-11-10T18:11:53.303-08:002011-11-10T18:11:53.303-08:00@Temple - Oh, I did thoroughly enjoy the drag bits...@Temple - Oh, I did thoroughly enjoy the drag bits, and now looking forward to getting that DVD and seeing it in all its glory, but it did confirm that it's just wrong. The mouche is such a big part of Chiru it's like it's not even him without it.<br />As for Abhishek, I dunno, I never found Big B attractive so to me the son is definitely way ahead of the father. If he's playing dress-up, he's schooling the original in my book. :)<br />We'll have to agree to also disagree on the bumfluff, I think it's marvelous! :)<br /><br />@Sanyogita - Haha! I know, Hrithik is particularly dishy in that one, in fact, I don't think he has managed to look as good since. And to be honest, I was never into the mooche while watching Bollywood. It was the shift to the South that made me really appreciate it. Who knows, with a few more baby steps, maybe they'll grow on you too! :)Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-61311309720958435072011-11-10T18:04:53.915-08:002011-11-10T18:04:53.915-08:00Aaah!

It's so heart warming to see so much love for the mooche! :) Thank you for all the comments ladies!! :-*<br /><br />@Beth - well, I bet there were a few things you've grown to love since you were little, so not surprised about the beards. :P But some people just rock it, plain and simple. And Lil B is definitely one such man.<br />Looking forward to your oldies list!! Bring them ON!!<br /><br />@ Liz - I hear you, I was beside myself with joy when I found it! It was getting almost hopeless to find Sid with some sort of proper lip decor. :)Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-23736844839296432162011-11-09T20:44:52.900-08:002011-11-09T20:44:52.900-08:00Loveddd this post!!!

I've seen a million Indian movies, but it still repulsed me. It's not that I have a problem with facial hair, because I think it is sexy in it's other forms. I think men look best with a bit of stubble, or even a beard ( as opposed to squeaky clean shaven). But the stand-alone, beardless 'stache? Hell no! I'll never get the appeal.<br /><br />OK I'll admit I was totally lusting after Hrithik in Jodhaa Akbar. but if you don't look like Duggu, and you don't have a magnificently ripped body, and you don't spend half your time onscreen shirtless with designer rivulets of sweat dripping down your back while you practise your sword play, then I'm going to find the solitary tuft of hair on your upper lip to be extremely unappealing. <br /><br />But watching Indian movies has made me more appreciative of facial hair in general (hence the dislike of clean shaven faces), so maybe it's baby steps? :-P<br /><br />SanyogitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-70239545641663226482011-11-08T23:22:27.363-08:002011-11-08T23:22:27.363-08:00Hey Dolce.

That was commitment to character! I largely agree with you on your choices although I really don't think Surya is attractive (too Salman-ly with the pumped up moobs etc) and Abhishek always looks like he is playing dress-ups as his dad. Siddharth's mo would be described in Australian parlance as 'bumfluff' and more an object of ridicule than desire. <br />But this is excellent work on mouche comparison even if I did scroll past Ajay Devgn and Raj Kapoor very quickly indeed.<br />Of course my vote goes to Chiru. The man who made me change my lifelong thinking on The Moustache.<br />cheers<br />TempleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-67059728781524415182011-11-08T21:14:44.611-08:002011-11-08T21:14:44.611-08:00I'll come back and post a few more thoughts, b...I'll come back and post a few more thoughts, but a quick first impression: that picture of Sid is amazing, the mouche definitely helps even out his small mouth.dustdevil lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564737263775943203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-91947456435650518912011-11-08T20:52:54.771-08:002011-11-08T20:52:54.771-08:00BWAHAHAHA such fun!

Which confuses the heck out of me because I used to dislike facial hair of any kind (and was even frightened of men with beards when I was little). I'll be doing a similar post sometime soon but focusing on the era I know best, so get ready for lots of smugglers with secrets hidden in their 'staches :DBeth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.com
