Still all Christmas movies all the time! Within the broad definition of Indian film “if it has a Santa in the background, close enough”. Also, still jumping between Friday and Saturday depending on what works best for people.
Christmas! Christmas Christmas!!!!
Kaho Na Pyar Hai
Rising from the dead, party Santa, Christian heroine, all kinds of Christmas stuff in here. Also, Hrithik!
Malang
Christmas in Goa! Santa parades, murder, drugs, casual sex, everything that is part of my Christmas holiday, for sure. Also, hot ARK!!!!
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
Infidelity, coats, New York, and shopping. And a Christmas tree in the background sometimes. Also, SRK!!!!
Which do you like? And is Friday afternoon or Saturday morning better for you this week?
Your Friday pm is best for me, depending on the length of the movie.

Cool! And any preference between thse movies (I think Malang is the shortest)?

Also, I promise to be there this Friday if you end up picking Friday. Missing the last two watchalongs has been like missing therapy appointments. I need snark and the weekly dose of DCIB community comments to keep me going!

Plus, you STILL haven’t won a Christmas card!!!!
Okay, if you are definitely coming this Friday, I will consider Kaho Na Pyar Hai. To continue our Hrithik theme.

I will absolutely be there. Last Friday I couldn’t join because we went out hiking as a family and the Saturday before I ended up having an early morning doctor’s appointment follow by Theo the dog’s training. I really don’t have much of a life currently but the couple things I did have the last couple weekends seemed to have been annoyingly in conflict with the watchalongs. This Friday, I am blocking my calendar for the watchalong

I’m with Filmikudhi, anything except KANK. Like the idea of Hrithik rising from the dead, but then I haven’t seen Malang.

Hrithik rising from the dead is very Christmassy.

So you are a Kaho Na Pyar Hai? But can you make it this week? Because if you can’t, then this is the week we should do Malang (I am determined to watch it one week this Christmas, it’s just so Christmas-y).

Not 100% sure but most liktely, yes. I might have another go at Malang though if I skip the first 15 minutes. Does it get less gorey?

Gore is always waiting to leap out. But Anil Kapoor! He’s so fun! And it’s SOOOOOOOO stupid! It’s a total throwback 1970s amoral illogical kind of plot.

I haaaaaated the immoral cop plot. So I think I will give it a pass again.

Oh, Anil is ultimately moral. He’s the moral center of the film, a good guy. Just behaves badly.

But our hero has a totally ludicrous illogical revenge plot that relies on everyone doing the exact thing he expects them to do! You know you would love that.

I watched Malang twice and might do a third time just to see Anil strut his stuff, if that’s the choice, and if it’s on Saturday. Of course ARK is always binge-worthy, but this time his relationship with Disha annoyed me. For some reason, both she and Shradda can do that to me. If I can’t join you, I’ll console myself rewinding the good parts of Fitoor, where ARK, for some reason, does his art shirtless. (Okay, I know the reason.)

Oh dear, it’s looking like not Saturday. But I will keep Malang in mind for a Saturday.

We watched it in my sister’s dorm common room, and the RA had to come yell at us because we screamed too much when Ek Pal Ka Jeena started. It’s that kind of movie.
