Friday WatchAlong: Dil! Aamir and Madhuri, Whose Hair is the Foofiest????

Posted on April 2, 2021 by mredlich21

Yaaaaaay, Friday WatchAlong on a Friday!!!! And unless my plans change, I should be all relaxed and stuff for this movie, because I scheduled a massage for 1pm (did I tell you I woke up on Wednesday with my neck so messed up I couldn’t move my head?).

Dil! On Netflix! It’s Dumb! It’s Fun! The Songs are great!

At 3pm Chicago time, I will put up an “And Play!” comment and we will go from there!

We’ve also seen lots of moments of them standing in the middle distance like that, and variously moving towards or against each other–including those two pivotal moments where they don’t kiss after the boxing match, and when she does kiss him after they come back from Ooty. Here, now, he walks toward her. . . and she walks away and backward, at the same pace. Such a simple way of expressing such a sad distance!

–followed, of course, by the character development that would have prevented “Jab Jab Phool Khile” or “Raja Hindustani” from having a second half at all.

  I know! I love the interaction between the old married couple as much as I love the interaction between Madhuri and Aamir.
