Good morning! I have walked the dog, made coffee, and I am all ready to be soothed by beautiful Goa and beautiful SRK.
Yaaaaaay, Shahrukh movie!!!! He’s wise and kind and encouraging, and the rest of the movie is nice too.
At 7:30am, I will put up a comment “And PLAY!” and you hit play and then we all comment along together.

Agreed with both. He’s literally the only man on earth who looks good with a manbun.

Well… I missed the first three minutes. And his attitude of being supremely cool and above it, it typical in young men, and young women.Youth. This film revolves around youth.

And Shahrukh Khan, who is the only grown up and is slightly amused and concerned by all the youth.

I love that we don’t see her sleeping with RAghuvendra or any of that, because it’s not about that it’s about how horrible and guilty and conflicted she feels afterwards. Also, BOO KUNAL!!! You knew she was in a relationship! And now you are giving her mixed signals after she slept with you!!!

Yeah, he made a joke about her calls from the boyfriend when they were talking. Which is also scuzzy, sleeping with her and then subtlely making fun of her boyfriend and her for being in a relationship. BLECH!

Totally disagree. SHE WANTED to work on a feature film. She is young and attractive. Coworkers are going to be falling for her where ever she is. Go to the U.S., even if you are unsure and experience life.

So this is mostly Alia being messed up, that she can’t just say “yeah, I really like you too right now”. But also, Kunal is kind of making this as hard as possible for her. Maybe have this conversation when you don’t have a weird time crunch?

Did you catch Fatty’s worried face? This movie is like a master class in “show not tell” in terms of Alia’s breakdown. We don’t need her friends to say “you are acting strange, what’s happening?” we can just see it.
