  1. The first time I saw this, when I didn’t know who anyone but SRK was, I thought all the male Bollywood stars must be fat. (I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to call it Bollywood then.)

  2. Everyone is accepting this whole “returned from the dead and reborn” thing shockingly easily. Kirron I could see, but I thought Pappu had a better head on his shoulders

  3. I found this scene swooningly romantic the first time I saw it, and I still do. Also, this is what would happen if I met him in real life 100%

  4. I really like that this film had SRK reincarnated, but not Dips. It’s fun seeing two very different heroines, and a nice twist on the usual reincarnation story.

      • Or at least the irony of people who in a past life suffered are now blind to similar sufferings.

        Actually a lot of reincarnation stories kind of go the other way, in your past life you were rich and powerful, and now you are poor but happier.

  7. Okay, Om warning “Sandy” away now, that means he’s started to fall in love with her, right? His heart is healing?
