Unless you think it is a brilliant perfect movie. Then it may not be better than you think, because it is definitely not perfect. But it is way better than reviews say!
Befikre! Watch it on Prime or youtube or googleplay or anywhere else. Hit “play” at 3pm Chicago time and start commenting here. I’ll put up the first comment at 3pm and then we will just keep going. It’s fun!

Okay, I’m getting it now I think. Vaani thinks she has to “grow up” and so is settling for the nice but boring banker guy. And now Ranveer is all bored and alone and is going to find some random girl. If they just admitted they want to get back together, no problem!

Also, random question, is it just the three of us? No one else wanted to watch and make fun of this movie?!

that is correct! Madness, right? I may have to give in to the majority and do another Shahrukh movie next week.

They have the same vibe, and ADHM did come out in the same year (2016) so maybe an exchange of ideas was had at the dinner table at some point that just seeped into the scripts

Potential reading: the “slut” comment in the first fight really spun her out and now she wants respectable marriage to make up for it, but also feels unworthy. On the other hand, he is torn by guilt for saying it and pushing her towards someone who will treat her better than he did.

I thought that the first time I watched it too. I think there is also growing up Shrya never really feeling like she is “traditional” and going ahead to do a super “traditional” thing with a nice Indian boy. Is she doing it because of what she “should” be doing or does she actually want to do this?! While she thinks Ranveer is always going to tell it to her straight.
LikeLike
Ooo, I like that! Vaani is feeling something is wrong but not sure what, only not realizing Ranveer has his own thing going on and his guilt is stopping him from telling her what she needs to hear.

Oh oh! filmikudhi just helped me get this scene! Ranveer in the last scene did what he thought was the right loving thing and told her to forget him and feel good about herself. And now she is doing what she thinks is the loving thing and telling him harsh truth. But it’s opposite! She is saying what she needed to hear and he said what he needed to hear! OPPOSITE!!!
