I love this style of sari, it’s called “9 yard sari”, it’s a Maharashtrian thing, long enough that you can wrap it around your legs and use it like pants. Also, it makes Rani’s booty go pop pop pop even more than usual!

I HATE her co-worker! And she could so easily be someone I would like, if she were just a little more funky and bohemian and less irritating and nutty.
LikeLike
That co worker is the only character in Hindi films who would be improved by being replaced by Johnny Lever. Man, that hurt saying that.
LikeLike
The co-worker seems more like a stereotype than a character, and even then an overly done one in an already melodramatic movie. Also, waaaaay too much overacting as well as the overbite. It’s too much!
LikeLike
And now Rani is about to give her speech which is perfectly over dramatic in a way that makes us laugh at the character, but not be irritated by her
LikeLike
I love how garbage and stink are already echoing throughout the film as her greatest fears, and her dream is of a place clean and fragrant.

Distraction: Prithvi clearly has natural chest hair in this scene, and yet later in the songs he is clearly waxed. How did they do that??? What movie magic was required???

‘Love at first smell’ indeed. It’s done like a good perfume add, but in a semi-realistic setting, also Prithviraj.

Other thing I wonder, did they find all these art installations in place at an art school and shoot there, or did they build them as sets?

If they built them they did a good job, I was admiring some of the art.

“vest”= Indian English for undershirt. So, a boring super buttoned down type.

Prithiviraj really bringing the tortured artist look, getting no sleep and can confirm that oil paints, as badly alcoholic they smell, they do have that something that makes them appealing to work with

Aha! Inaccuracy! He should smell bad, like paint. Although I guess everything smells like paint around her, so that is just a given.

By the way, Prithviraj tends to only make movies in which his hero is tortured and miserable and never finds true happiness. Like, the guy who is separated from his sweetheart for 20 years and dies the day they are about to meet again.
So I love watching him be all happy and silly in this song. For once he can smile onscreen!
