Woo-hoo! I’ve been wanting to watch this movie with y’all for WEEKS. And Madhuri looks gorgeous, and Kunal Kapoor looks gorgeous, and all of life is happiness.
Aaja Nachle! We get to snark on Madhuri’s “western” look, debate who is swoonier Kunal, Akshaye, or Irrfan, and generally have Happiness.
I’ll start the comments at 3pm, just comment along with me.

That orange sports bray is too small to be appropriate, I think. Also, love how modestly Madhuri is dressed versus everyone else! She’s the boss, she doesn’t have to show skin.

By the way, my Prime did that thing where the subtitles don’t work for no reason, so I had to stop and switch to renting from GooglePlay and I did the whole thing so seamlessly and fast you didn’t even know until I confessed just now! I am the technology MASTER!

Feel kind of bad for Steve here, he was just having a fun vacation fling and now all of a sudden it’s a Thing. Of course, he also gets to marry Madhuri, so it’s not all bad.
