Woo-hoo! Hopefully a movie that will get everyone pumped and happy and excited to think about. I know that’s what it will do for me, starting my weekend with a BANG.
Om Shanti Om! The Pain of Disco! Dhoom Tana! Everything happy and good! Join me here in about half an hour, at 3pm Chicago time.

Those of us who are Zindagi Gulzar Hai watchers know him as the hero’s unhappily married hardworking father. Throws me off trying to see him as a big 70s movie star

That Govinda cameo put my friend of watching his movies because she thought he must have actually looked that way.

SRK and Kirron both being melodramatic filmi style, definitely mom and son

Remember, this is for Mother’s day!!!! Because Kirron in this film is Best Mother.

I love SRK’s 70s hair.

It’s surprisingly flattering on him too! I think because they lifted the bangs off his face in a historically unaccurate way, he would look terrible in Pappu hair.
LikeLike
Yes, and the sideburns also suit him

Does anyone else get distracted by how freakishly large Deepika’s hands are? I suppose not really freakish, but definitely larger than average and you can really see it here.
