Such an exciting weekend! I scheduled a last minute KKHH watch late late late on Saturday, and then I changed the proposed time of this morning’s viewing from 7am Chicago time to 10am Chicago time. And this one was scheduled a bit last minute too. Oh well, hopefully I still get people to join! Who doesn’t love SOTY2?
SOTY2!!! It’s available on Prime in America, and possibly also other places, or not, who knows, the mysteries of Prime.
Anyway, you will enjoy it! I promise!!!! Swing back here in half an hour, 10am Chicago time, and I will start off the comments and then we can watch all together, it’s nice.

Since I’m late, here are some general thoughts I have about the movie that I’m not sure have been said already.
– I do really enjoy this movie, but not as much as the first one.
– It bothers me that they have the occasional references to songs from the first one. Like bad remixes of Kukkad and Ishq Wala Love. Kukkad is Sid’s song.
– Both ladies are gorgeous, but for some reason, I gravitate more towards Ananya than Tara.
– It’s not as fun/easy to make this movie gay, as is the first one. Ananya and Tara have nowhere near as much chemistry as Sid and Varun.

Yes, we are all firmly in the “Ananya is adorable” camp. And I already miss the gayness.

If it didn’t have the cut halfway down the hem of the collar, I’d like it.

I like the cutout in the collar, just not the bottom as much. But I generally like the oversized sweartshirt look; cut outs.; and sweatshirt with shorts look. So this has everything for me.

The friends are calling him “Manasvi” as a “clever” insult. Because it’s a girls name. Hahahahahahah

No. His name is Manav. Manavsi is a girl’s name. They are teasing him by calling him a girl’s name. They might have been legitimately confused about it during the club scene, but then when they were beaten up for it, they are now deliberately saying it to make fun of Manav.
