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!

Yes yes! The funniest scene!
Question, do we think Shakti is biological Varun’s brother and Anwar became his second father/brother when he got together with Shakit? Or did Anwar and Shakti adopt Varun together?

I’m thinking never. His Mom, and then someone he paid because he was working too much to do it, and then someone Gauri supervised (I would bet good money Gauri has never done laundry in her life)

The making of this song is when the choreographer was talking about Kajol being really spooked over being back on camera, and SRK helping her and kind of walking her through it. While he himself (as usual) was in extreme pain from his latest back/knee/shoulder problem.
Anyway, I think you can see that, he is “leading” a bit more than usual in the dance.

Does it say “Italien Stallion”? Because that was Rocky’s stage name, so it’s a Rocky shirt.
Why Varun is wearing a Rocky shirt, no idea.
