    • What I’ve been told is that you really need to know Punjabi, because when he gets irritated Harry keeps dropping into Punjabi slang.

      I’ve also been told that Anushka’s Gujurati accent is not good (like a bad southern accent or New York accent in American films). You and I are saved from caring about that, because we can’t even understand the Hindi let alone the accent!

    • Her family soooooooooooooo doesn’t appreciate her. I bet she has added crazy value to their company and they just pat her on the head and think of it as making her a more valuable prospect on the marriage market.

  1. The first time I saw the film I never thought Anushka was pretty, it wasn’t till the PJs on the balcony seen on my second viewing that I realized she looks like a model.

    • Anushka’s face is fascinating! Depending on how it is made up, she can look gorgeous, or childish. It’s perfect for this movie as she slowly accepts her own beauty as a mature woman.

  2. I love that they start by going to a historical reinactment of an pointless activity. Just as Anushka is going through the motions but for no real reason beyond showing others she is doing it

    • My ring fell off between the seats on an airplane, and the heroic flight attendants rescued it for me with a hanger. But I knew where it was, just couldn’t reach it.

      • Oh I agree, its terrible on her and I do think it is on purpose. But I still love all the head to toe gold glitter! I actually own something very similar that I wear during Christmas and New Years every year. I feel like a giant disco ball.

  3. This outfit is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!!! She is a beautiful super skinny woman and it makes her look babyish and chubby. So also, soooooooooooooooo good since I am sure that is what the costumers were told to do, make her look like a teenager sneaking into a club.

  4. Amsterdam has the highest murder rate in it’s country, like 3 a year…. I can’t think why he wouldn’t let a grown woman dance at a club. But well, I’m not Indian.

    • Because he’s already secretly in love and doesn’t want to leave her? Or, because she could fall off her heels into a canal?

  5. This might be more support for our “young but not innocent” theory of who SRK seduces. Anushka is reacting pretty much like any woman would, Shahrukh just isn’t used to spending time with woman like her.

    Like

    • From his reaction, I think Shahrukh is also seeing her as a bit of a puppy. Irritating, but he can’t really blame her because she doesn’t know any better, and so cute when she is sleeping.

  6. My husband is playing guitar in the kitchen, and he is making pizza for the family. So sweet, and yet I really wish the singing would stop interferring with JHMS!

  7. I’m trying to contrast this with the Dostana scene where Amitabh shames Zeenat for her bathing suit, but its too early here.

  8. WHAT IS THIS CLUB????? I know people who regular go to real life sex clubs like this, and you can’t just walk in and be assaulted and stuff.

  9. There is an extra in a romper they show in the club, and later as they are running out they show her waiting in line to get into the club. whoops.

  10. Was someone else in this scene wearing a gold romper like Anushka’s previous gold romper? Maybe the costumer found a sale on gold rompers?

    Like

    • We need to do one of those conspiracy theory things for this movie based on gold rompers. It’s really about the gold market in India versus Europe! You just have to follow the rompers, and use the third letter of every word in the Russian subtitles!

  11. Butt watch: when he crouches and scampers back and forth, the jeans are definitely pulled tight along the back. But then, he is bending over.
