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!

This entire concept, though, of literally dancing til you drop is so ridiculous, especially for someone like me who is not athletic at all.

Concept: Sid and Varun had sex again after the prom, and it’s starting to feel like love again instead of just releasing pent up aggression.

YES!!!!! And now they are lifting weights and thinking deep emotional thoughts. While Shruti has finally moved on from Shanaya just as Shanaya is starting to realize how much she misses Shruti.

“Push it hard” instead of “Mug it up” with the Ratta Maar here. The subtitles are as subtle as a brick to a glass window. Where to “push it hard” exactly?

I think Varun’s shoulders are too buff to make him look good running. Sid’s are leaner, which is why he looks better.
