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.

Is there a young actress that dances as well as Madhuri?
LikeLike
I don’t think so. But then, we don’t have this kind of dances any more, the long complex ones. I think there are young actresses who actually have the training, but they don’t get the chance.
LikeLike
Well, and also Madhuri is a Goddess and no one can dance as well as her

I want to see Allu Arjun and Madhuri do a number together.

I love the dancing audience.

So to be clear, this whole show was a 5 minute dance number and done? Kind of seems like a rip off

Oh yeah, classic courtship technique of the single mother, get a friendship with her daughter. Also, be super sexy and look down when you smile.

You think “oh, it’s just another tall guy with symmetrical features, I can take him or leave him”. But slowly the power of the Kunal Kapoor grows on you, and all other men look like hideous beasts.

Something about politics and Kunal playing Majnu and Madhuri giving the politician an issue to fight with against Akshaye….
But it’s all just so Madhuri can get Kunal, the real prize
