Woot! The DCIB favorite! Let’s see if we can think of new things to say, after many many posts, many many comments, and a previous watchalong on twitter.
First, Happy Birthday Rachel!!!! This is in her honor, and her movie choice, so yaaaaay! What a great party!
Second, Jab Harry Met Sejal! Woot woot! You can watch on Netflix, youtube, googleplay, or your own DVD. I’ll put the first comment below when it is time to start, and then you just comment along with any old thing that pops into your head.

Omg were coming up to where he cried and had the flashback I love his acting here so much it makes me mad that people dont like the film
LikeLike
I don’t understand that scene. I have never understood WHY he is crying.
LikeLike
He’s homesick? It doesn’t quite work for me either, it feels more like a PTSD thing than a general depression thing.
LikeLike
I think he is coming out of the dream state where he sees the past and a glimpse of the future (Sejal’s dupatta over the fields) and he is missing home and imagining he can’t go back. And talking to himself to comfort himself like he wishes his mother could.

I think Anushka’s a little disappointed he didn’t sleep so close to her as she wanted, hence the lip biting

I think Anushka decided for her European Tour, she would buy a lot of vests, because that is European. Thus this one, and the one in the gold romper scene. Or else the costume designer decided to subtly imply school uniforms and chunariyas and other youthful Indian girl things.
Also, I love the sunflower fabric and I want a skirt made of it.

Hawayein is just a lovely song. I mean the whole album is a star in itself, but this song is just a tiny bit something else just by the lyrics alone and what they mean to both of them.

Agreed. Radha is on another level with the visuals, but Hawayein easily tops it all in the sound and lyrics.

Ok on pause. I also am slightly bothered by that scene. I think he comes clean too fast for someone so guarded.

And she reverts to cockiness too fast for someone who has been so curious.
