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!!!!

Yep! A beautiful daughter-in-law brings luck to the whole household. And yes, conversely, an ugly daughter-in-law is to blame for everything bad that happens.

Not her beauty precisely. The word used was “saadji” i.e. simpleness. It’s Rajshri. It’s annoying.

I might of missed it, but is his wife dead or something?
LikeLike
No, he’s an uncle. The boy’s parents died and he raised them, giving up his own chance to marry and have a family. So there’s this added layer of everyone being excited about a bride coming to the household because it’s been all male for so long.

Alok is Monish and Salman’s uncle. He took over when their parents died and never got married because again Rajshri. If he married then he couldn’t have given them the attention they deserved because he would have a wife and his own children.

Every Sooraj Rajshri movie I have seen has a strong homosexual undertone to at least one relationship, but I don’t think that is the case int his one? Keep watching and tell me if I am missing something.
(for example, in another movie someone says “for years my arms have been aching to embrace you” to his old college friend)
LikeLike
Rajshri follows a policy of “everyone will use super specific relationship nicknames, and then the audience will understand how they are related”. Which isn’t the best system for those of us unfamiliar with Hindi words!
