Friday WatchAlong!!! Actually on Friday!!!! And we are going to watch a very VERY long movie. It will be dark out and you will be ready for dinner by the time it is over. Also, you will be STARVING. Rajshri films will always make you super super hungry.
VERY IMPORTANT. We are watching the Netflix version, which is 3 hours and 13 minutes. So that is NOT the same as the einthusan version. I don’t really have a solution for this, beyond awareness. We won’t all be lining up. I’ll be doing Netflix, so if you start to lag behind, fast forward until you catch up I guess?
Otherwise, just have fun with it!!!! Silly movie, great Madhuri, tons of songs, tons of costumes, tons of FOOD.
At 3pm, I will put up a “And PLAY” comment and then we will go from there!!!!

I completely forgot the last one (it was a hectic week and I was tired). And sometimes just the Saturday timeline doesn’t wake me up mentally to prepare me for a watchalong, so I miss them without meaning to.

The first thing I’m noticing (joining 9 minutes late because that is how long it takes an old computer to warm up) is that Salman is rich, but still good. I’m used to 90s movies always having the rich people be bad.
