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.

Nope. it’s the most common Gujurati last name, and Gujuratis are very common immigrants to America. Especially in certain regions.

I don’t know, I feel like the whole operation jades her and she loses a lot of her spunk by the end. Definitely more energy here than I remember. Like I said, maybe it’s just been a while and I don’t remember.

There is a lot of cleavage and she’s bordering on concerningly skinny.

This was noticed to the point of her having to address it in interviews. I think she was just in a weird body phase. Before this she was all baby fat and cute, and in present day she is all kind of lean and athletic looking. But this was a weird era when her baby fat was going away unevenly.

Yea, Anushka looks good, but her personality isn’t sparkling off the screen

Anushka had a couple of years of showing off her body quite a bit and it always made me uncomfortable. Maybe because she has such a naturally sort of baby face that it feels icky making her sexy? Or just that she has such a personality-full face that it seems weird to make her all objectified? Anyway, I am happy that she quickly became popular enough to switch to more loose modest clothing.

Somehow Anushka is at her hottest when she is with a slightly shorter dude. Have you noticed that? When she is paired with someone of a “proper” height, it’s not as good. Something about the way she carries herself with a shorter dude is way hot.

Okay, I’m a little confused again. Are they tricking him into paying for Anushka’s things because he cares about her/thinks it will turn into a bigger con and at the same time deeply overcharging him for everything?
LikeLike
Yes.

Okay, so in that case, if he is doing all of this because he thinks it is part of conning and romancing her, it is a Bad thing. But if he is doing it because he is falling for her, it is a Good thing. So really the love-not love is a big deal in this con. Whereas in his cons, it didn’t matter if the girl really loved him or not, just that she introduced him to the real target.
Yes?

Also, this kiss makes me think even more that Ranveer didn’t cross a line with Pari. And for sure he didn’t with Saira (because she was too proper) or with the other one (because he barely knew her). Anushka had to make the move to kiss him and he was surprised.
Also, did they have sex? It’s the next day, and they look shellshocked, I’m concerned.
