Friday Watchalong time! The best part of the week! It’s spring break in some places which I think is affecting attendance this week (parents gotta parent), but I am super excited about our film choice!
Aaina! 90s fun times with Juhi and Amrita Singh and naked Jackie Shroff! Why so naked Jackie? Why always so naked?
Oh, and it is free on Prime, or you can rent it for like a dollar on youtube.

And just an FYI, the grandmother is Dina Pathak, Ratna Pathak’s mother.

How is Juhi this sad over someoen she has literally had one conversation with?!
LikeLike
I don’t think we could even call it a “conversation”. It’s a guy she dreamed about from interviews! At this point, I am totally on Amrita’s side, she didn’t know how Juhi felt, and she actually dated the guy.

Is this movie in the time period where once actresses got married they “retired”, or are we past that already at this point?

Smack in the middle of it. Amrita quit working herself after marrying Saif and having Sara. Juhi kept her marriage secret so no one really knows when it happened, only announced when she got pregnant, so she could keep working.

Normally I’m with the runaway bride, but yeah, this was stinky. She was the one who wanted the marriage, she waited until the worst possible moment to break it off when she could have done it at any time, and her family obviously spent soooooooooooooo much money. Not to mention breaking poor Jackie’s heart.

I thought it was Mom’s fault! Definitely got a vibe of Dad picking up the slack because Mom was never around for Juhi and always around for Amrita.
