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.

Question: Would you rather Salman get together with Reema Lagoo after the end of the movie, or Little Anjail? several years later obviously
LikeLike
I love how all along Reema sees all the foreshadowing and the shadows in Kajol’s eyes and they have conversations about her doubts, and her role during the whole movie is just to look troubled and never do anything about it. You wait and wait until the end for her to step in and just, many troubled looks.
LikeLike
Because it’s Kajol’s life! there’s no hardline parenting here, both Reema and Anupam talk to their daughters and go “well, if it’s what you want…”
