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.

Also from director’s commentary, actually burned down this set. And then had to rebuild it again for the scenes in the second half

One of my favorite things about this movie is how asexual the relationship between Shahrukh and his groupies feels. He likes having them around to feel important, but he isn’t actually attracted to them

He’s so short in real life–one of my fave lines!

Shahrukh’s movie star having no interest in the woman around him, also Shahrukh’s movie star saying “what the fish” instead of f—, both of them unbelievable and yet delightful
