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!

Do you think the audience was supposed to go “oh boy, Anupam Kher acting wacky! What a great movie!” with this opening? Or was it just a time killer while everyone bought popcorn?

He’s so skinny! And has a mustache! And hair!!!! It’s gonna take me half the movie to get used to this Anupam
LikeLike
Anupam is one of those character actors that just brings a familiar smile to my face whenever I see him. . . skinny or paunchy. He’s kind of like Iftekhar, or “Central Jail,” or that one swimming pool that’s in all the ’70s films.

I wonder what happened to this director, Indra Kumar. I looked him up and he directed so many popular movies in the 90s( Ishq, Beta, Maan etc) and now just directs weird random garbage. Hmmm I wonder if he fell over of favor with Aamir?

Do you think aamir’s big white shirt is oversized for style, or just what Aamir looks like in a normal sized shirt?
LikeLike
I was going to say that I thought it was just ’90s style (or ’90s style as processed through Hindi movies), but then the first other example I thought of was the infamous yellow hotel-dinner suit in “Rangeela.”

I was thinking their skin was pimply because they were doing so many movies and thus were in make-up all the time. I mean normal people get pimples, but make-up also causes pimples.

Especially the stuff they were using in 80′ and 90′. I’m sure some of the make up they used won’t be allowed today.

Obviously, it’s meant to be a throwback style here, but the old-fashioned rock-and-roll-i-ness of this song reminds me a lot of R. D. Burman’s songs for movies like “Pyar Ka Mausam” back in the late ’60s/early ’70s.
