Saturday WatchAlong: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! 7:30am Chicago Time, HALLOWEEN!!!!

Posted on October 31, 2020 by mredlich21

Happy Halloween! I have my spooky Halloween earrings on, my coffee, and I’ve walked the dog. Let’s do this!

First, most importantly, my new Halloween earrings!

Okay, now movie stuff! At 7:30am, I will post a “And PLAY” comment and then we start commenting along right here below this post.

This was a true total surprise cameo, the audience lost their MINDS when it was revealed.

  I can imagine. I don’t even like Salman that much, but I also would have exploded at the surprise. Imagine being in that theater.

I wanted to be little Anjali to have Shahrukh as a dad, but also wanted to be with him. Too many emotions to grapple with as a child!

  Yes. And now imagine if your dead mother also put the responsibility on you to find and reunite her father with some random woman you have never met.

Oh, I almost forgot, earlier in the year Salman and Kajol’s romance Pyar something something came out. It was the big hit of the year for the past 3-4 months, so this cameo is calling back to that. Of course, now KKHH is so much more remembered and so much bigger that everyone has forgotten about the other movie. But at the time, it was part of the excitement, the hit jodi of the spring together again in the fall.

It just occurred to me, if I were watching this movie for the first time, I might legitimately think Kajol and SRK aren’t getting back together at this point. Right? Salman and Kajol are totally being set up as a viable couple. It could end with Kajol saying good-bye to SRK as she realizes she has learned to love Salman after all.

  Except that Kajol, even when flirting and smiling with Salman, seems so sad. I don’t know how she does it, but she conveys sadness even while smiling. So I wonder how many ever had serious doubts about who she would end up with?
