Yaaaaaay, one of my favorite movies. And possibly the first Indian movie I saw in theaters (I say “possibly”, because I’m not sure if film festivals count or not). Anyway, I am excited to share it with all of you!
It’s fun, it’s funny, and it’s a wee bit long. But the time moves easily. You can watch it on Prime but you probably shouldn’t (I don’t trust Prime). Instead, try buying or renting from youtube or googleplay, or the einthusan UHD version (not standard version, that doesn’t have subtitles and looks a little cruddy too).
I’ll start the conversation at 3pm and then you all can just keep commenting along with me here!

Alright, I am adding another comment here because I missed Nach Baliye and if others see this comment, try and spot Sushant Singh Rajput in the song. He is a back-up dancer and he is behind Abhishek to the right or left of him on screen.

My sister and I saw this in theaters, and she just insisted it was Aish in this song, and I insisted it couldn’t have been. Now, she is most likely mostly correct, but I am not quite willing to admit I was wrong. It could be CGI! A fake Aish! you don’t know!

In this sequence Amitabh is actually recalling a bit of his Delhi University days. He spoke in an interview later about taking bus 481 and the “good looking” girls on the bus when he was in school.

Knowing they are now related to one another does Aish techically wooing Amitabh in this song make it funnier or awkward or just plain crepy the same way Rani-Amitabh was in K3G?
LikeLike
I’m going with funnier, since they were just about to start dating when they made this song, so I’m gonna say it was an in joke between the three of them.

Awkward because the Indian tabloids definitely started some rumors about them based on this song.

And then Abhishek fell for her and that somehow knowing that makes it funnier since the tabloits clearly got the wrong AB and she is the one dismissing her future husband in this song
