Woo-hoo, a Shahrukh movie! And a good/bad one, so we will neither be distracted by being in love with him, nor bored by how terrible the film is. Oh, also Varun Dhawan, the Birthday boy.
Dilwale! Big fun bright dumb! The comedy track is murder, but we can just talk about other things during that section. Watch it on Netflix, or anywhere else you can find it.
I will start the comments below at 3pm Chicago time, you all can just keep adding on. Fun fun!

I forgot it was initially a “just cross the street and stop him so we can shoot him” plan. That makes much more sense than a “he will naturally fall in love with me at first sight and we will go from there” plan.

Is anyone else worried about SRK’s hairpiece falling off right now? Not that he normally wears a wig, but he clearly has something as part of the “youth” disguise and it seems very risky at the moment.

We can agree to disagree! I like that he had the mirror – that was a nice moment. But I love the love actually scene because of the huge longing and loss behind it…so to me that’s so powerful. I guess I don’t care so much about whether Ishu and Veer get together

It just feels a bit creepy to me, especially when she kisses him at the end and at the end of the movie he is still clearly not over her and keeps hanging along. It just feels awkward to me
