Woo-hoo! A movie I haven’t seen!!!! And neither have many of you! This will be nerve-wracking, what if we don’t like it?
Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl is on Prime, but SUBTITLES WILL NOT WORK ON THE TV!!!! Because Prime is a bad bad BAD platform, some of their Hindi films have a subtitle program that only displays on computers and phones, and it looks like this is one of them. You can try renting it on youtube or google play instead, or on einthusan. Or you can just set up your viewing so you can use a laptop (which is what I will probably do).
I will put a “and PLAY” comment below when it is time to start, and then we can all just comment along together.

What I heard about this movie is that Pari had a supporting role and totally stole the film from Anushka. So far, that makes sense to me.

I can’t believe people had the NERVE to call Pari fat. She looks so stunning.

They called everyone fat! They called Rani fat in some reviews of Govinda movies I watched (they also always call Govinda fat, usually when he’s not actually fat, but he’s the only man I’ve seen that happen with), and she has never been fat by any definition!
LikeLike
Did they call her fat in this movie?
LikeLike
I think so. She was only a handful of films in before she took a sabbatical and lost a ton of weight.
LikeLike
I don’t know if it was in the movie itself, but the reviews for sure. She was presented as the cute “chubby” girl next door. That’s how YRF promoted her too, lots of “average ugly duckling” kind of PR.

She isn’t too fat for Ranveer to carry!

I’m such a Westerner, her shocking outfit is so non-shocking to me.

I love long haired Ranveer, but he kind of looks like a vampire throughout the whole movie.

Young Ranveer just looks odd. In an age appropriate “my face isn’t finished yet” kind of way. And then all of a sudden it came together.

He turned 30 and it all slotted into place. I don’t usually like him when he’s young, but I have to say he looks good here.

I think he still looks a little odd, but he loves The Simpsons so I adore him anyway.
