The love and violence and love-means-violence is all tied up together in this. My first thought was “so untraditional! What happened to SRKajol, the happpy-go-lucky NRI romance?” But then I remembered that their first movie together was Baazigar, which had this:

Even DDLJ had this:
So really, Kajol shooting him through the heart is just a return to their roots! Or else, she is finally getting revenge on him for heartlessly killing her sister (always bothered me that she wasn’t more angry at him for that) (in Baazigar, not in real life. So far as I know, he has never done anything to Tanisha)
Bonus, it looks like they have almost the same meet-cute as SRK and Divya Bhatya in his very first movie, Deewana:

Nothing more romantic that almost running someone over!
Speaking of Deewana, it also has another reminder that angry unhinged SRK=sexy SRK:

Does SHE shoot SRK or does she just witness it and is crying because she thinks he’s dead?

Ooo, good point! I assumed she shot him, because shooting him in the heart would be such a great visual metaphor. But it would still work if she just set things in motion that resulted in him being shot in the heart.

Don’t care don’t care don’t care (tra la). I see violence and fear and longing and angst and I’m all in! I was worried that Shetty wouldn’t leave time for all that between the car chases, but looks like we may get a good dollop of the goods in there too!

About the shot-through-the-heart, in the later look-in-the-mirror scene, SRK seems to have a bullet hole scar on his chest. But on the wrong side. (or is that the correct side in mirror image?) Maybe he was shot but survived????
