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.

Also why is Kajol crying like a 4 year old
LikeLike
Because she is a child! That’s the whole point of the first half! She has a kids haircut, she cries like a little girl (multiple times), SRK just can’t see her as a romantic prospect because she isn’t grown up yet.

Anyone else trying very hard not to notice how enormous Kajol’s books look in the spandex? Feels wrong somehow to look at it.

I do wonder about that, what kind of college takes on that responsibility? But I guess Anupam Kher is running it, so the whole management is a disaster.

In case it wasn’t obvious, the first time I watched it, I hated this movie for the first hour. I feel bad that this might be the only part I’m here for, and I did end up loving it, but yeah. Sorry.

This is totally Karan capturing the real life Kajol-SRK vibe, right? Adi had Kajol as shy and unapproachable in DDLJ, and Karan gave us the “real” Kajol.
