Already this movie captures the American experience better than any other Indian film. Commute to work in your big car, get donuts from the local place, say “hi” in the elevator.

Well, not me, I’m kind of in between. But Kirre and Courtney are young enough to lust after Sid M and not feel weird.

I find the Sid and Jackie relationship really cute in this movie. I would happily watch a standard Indian romance just about the crazy woman and her sane responsible best friend with a crush on her.

Chucky is so good and cute in this movie and I wish she would get more challenging roles because I think she can handle them. She does light comedy really well.

I’m torn, would this scene be better shirtless? The tux with button undone is a smooth look, but shirtless has a kind of simple grace to it.

I really really like Jackie’s character in this scene. Perfectly written and acted. no sense of her “owing” him something or feeling guilty, just really worried about hurting his feelings and breaking the friendship somehow and trying to stop him without stopping him.

This movie is a really nice juxtaposition of my..preferences, I guess, looks wise. “Rishi” Sid is my fantasy guy, but terrifies me, tattoos included. If I actually had to pick, I’d go with “Gaurav” Sid. Still got the looks, but sweet and nice and…tame.
