Happy Happy Saturday! And SRK day!!! What a wonderful start to the day/weekend, spending the morning with SRK.
I swear I won’t oversleep this week! So at 7:30am Chicago time, I will put up an “And PLAY!” comment and we will go from there. Super fun!
Reminder, Chennai Express is off Netflix and Prime right now, so you will have to dig out a DVD or else rent it on youtube (link below).

If I were her, now that we finally got to a safe place, I would be so eager to take off all that heavy jewelry and stuff. But that’s probably why I’m not a heroine.

Not sure, because he was only 47-48 during filming. If he was actually 53 playing 40, than it would have been a lot funnier.

I like the little exchange with the massage SO MUCH! He holds up his leg as a joke, she takes it seriously, and he is all “oh no, I would never!!!!” He may be a bit of a city jerk, but he has no dumb ideas about a wife “serving” him.

I just watched a True Crime show where a husband built a decorative pond in the backyard purely for the purpose of drowning his wife in it. And now that’s all I can think of with the villages decorative pond. Someone must have needed to kill their wife, and then they left it in just because it looked pretty.
