Friday/Saturday WatchAlong! Bang Bang! 7:30am Chicago Time

Posted on October 10, 2020 by mredlich21

I am SO HAPPY! I have been looking forward to watching this movie with y’all since the WatchAlongs started, and doing it early on a Saturday morning makes it feel extra special.

You can watch it on youtube, on einthusan, on your DVD, just not on any legitimate streaming sources. At 7:30am I will post a “PLAY!” comment down below and then we can just keep commenting along the whole time. And yes, you are allowed to comment simply “this makes me so happy!”

  You can also tell that Hrithik was CHECKED OUT for this song, he gets a vacant look to his smile when he’s on autopilot (happens once or twice in ZNMD, too) and he has that vacant look for so many of the little ‘moments’ in this song except for like…the running scene and the gift shop scene.

It sounds pretty on the soundtrack, I can see why they decided to use the track. It’s just the visuals are super boring and slow things down when the plot is moving.

I think the dress is a combo of all the things you brought up — she’s standing so she’s shorter, bad posture, and the cut is really weird, and her bra isn’t holding her right, so it just creates a not great impression overall

  I’m also wondering if the fluffy thing was added because of the othe rissues? They realized that the bra and posture meant she was flashing too much and threw on the ruffles last minute for modesty?

    The problems are increased because of how high the top of the skirt is riding, almost at her ribcage where it probably would look better riding closer to her hips. Your eye reads it as a dress that shows more skin on her sides & back but because you aren’t seeing those it reads as not fitting well
