Finally done with the boring pre-awesome movies! I mean, Karan-Arjun and Baazigar are good all around movies, and they are also SRKajol movies in that Shahrukh and Kajol co-star.

And also, they aren’t SRKajol movies in the sense that I don’t have them all perfectly memorized because I have watched them So. Many. Times. So, next time! DDLJ! Very excited!
But for now, the best part of Baazigar! Which isn’t even the final SRKajol scene (see what I mean about it not being a movie built around SRKajol?) but is actually the final fight scene! Which is just ridiculous and also ridiculously entertaining.
