Yaaaaaay, a Shahrukh movie!!!!! Genevieve’s pick, so thank her for your happiness.
Main Hoon Na! Available basically everywhere, including on DVD, at 3pm Chicago time just hit “play” and start commenting along.
Also, warning, I have listened to the DVD director’s commentary many MANY times, so I will have many comments that start “Farah says”.

Farah likes those slightly weird comic touches. I can live with Satish spitting, I don’t love it but it isn’t terrible and is used lightly. On the other hand, Boman’s epilepsy in HNY is not the greatest.

Zayed is truly worthless. Is this supposed to show what fatherless children turn into?
LikeLike
Fatherless and brotherless! I read it as a statement that younger brothers will always be younger brothers, even if they don’t know they have older brothers, and they need older brothers to make them grow up.

Oh oh! This is one of my favorite director’s commentary bits! She wanted a green look to everything around Suniel, to feel kind of army and commando-y, but they ran out of time before they could paint the floor of the hide out set. So they just flooded it with a few inches of water to reflect the green lights. You’ll see it once we are inside.

To be fair, most Indian “college” students are in 11th grade. Indian system is 10th grade + 2 years (junior college) and then 3 years (regular college)
