Woo-hoo! In 30 minutes, 3pm Chicago time, I will start commenting on this post as I watch the film and you can comment along with me.
Reminder! SOTY is only available on the ErosNow Prime channel, which is HORRIBLE. Instead of subscribing to it (faulty subtitles, movies that don’t play, really not worth it), you can just rent the movie on youtube from the link below for $2.99. Or on googleplay, same price.
See you all right here in half an hour!

One of the things I like about this plot, is that such a contest ONLY works in a high school setting. Maybe a small college. But you have to be young to care about such a title. So the whole plot throws you back into that stage of youth.

Man, that would be an interesting debate post! War might have a slight edge only because of Tiger oggling Hrithik at the beginning. Nothing in this comes close to that scene. But in terms of couple dynamics, I think Sid and Varun have them beat.

This is what gets me about Sid and Varun in this! And whoever wrote this movie. How do you have so many instances of Sid saying “you’re not going to kiss me, are you?” Varun saying he won’t, then a tender moment between the two of them with swelling romantic music, and they NEVER ACTUALLY END UP KISSING?? It’s just not right!
