Shahrukh! And, to a lessor degree, Boman and Sonu and Dips and Jackie and Abhishek and even Vivaan!!!! It’s all happiness all the time.
Happy New Year! It’s on Netflix, it has the perfect title, and it is a super silly happy movie where we can all hate on SRK’s hair and misogyny.
I will put up an “And PLAY!” comment at 3pm Chicago time, and then we can all comment along right here.

You can only choose one: cut off SRK’s ponytail, or cut out the blond streak?

Ponytail. Blond is not visible from all angles.

Ponytail!!! Ponytails and manbuns should be banned forever!

Except for Kunal Kapoor. Very important to maintain that exception.

Even his manbun needs to go. He can still keep his long-ish hair – that’s the only exception I will make.

Probably Farah’s costume designers taking inspiration from Jackie’s IRL, everyday style.

Been here and watching but no laptop (blech battery) and comments on phone appear in a looong line of letters and

Okay, important question, is Deepika just naturally blessed or does she have to work hard for her body like Katrina?

I vote naturally blessed. More on the Anushka side, naturally long and lean, throw in some bra and hip padding, and you’ve got a perfect body. Kind of an athlete body.

Probably a bit of both

When Farah first started talking about this movie, ten years before it finally started filming, she talked about how she wanted a heroine who was a straight up dancing girl, no backstory and no apologies. And she delivered! Dips doesn’t love her job, but she doesn’t have a “my drunken Dad made me do it” backstory, or a “bad girl second heroine” role in the film.
