I may have totally messed this up by scheduling it very last minute, and then moving the start time an hour and a half earlier, and scheduling it on a half hour just to confuse people. But I hope this post helps. The conversation will be here, in the comments on this post, in half an hour (10:30pm Chicago time). Hope to see you here!
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! Watch it on Netflix, or youtube, or googleplay, or Prime in some places. Or on your DVD. Start playing at 10:30pm Chicago time and I will start commenting then.
I’m excited! This will be like the first time I watched it, on my laptop in my dorm room after my roommate had gone home for the weekend, late late on a Saturday night.

New Little Anjali theory: everyone I know who first watched this as a little girl loves her, and I hate her. Maybe she is a little girl designed to appeal to little kids instead of a little kid designed to appeal to adults like most little kids in movies? Anyway, I still hate her, but can acknowledge that children like her.

The first time I watched this movie, I was convinced they must have stopped filming for 6 months so Kajol could grow her hair back for the second half.
I still kind of believe that, even though I know a wig is far FAR more likely

I think her headband is some sort of hair folding device and it’s all there, just doubled up.
