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!

Shelomit – from your comments it sounds like you understand Hindi. Now, I have a partner who can help with the translations during watchalongs when there are questions!

  Alas, only a teensy bit! My Farsi-speaking aunt lived with us when I was little, so that helps with Hindi a bit, but mostly I just have some basic grammar that my uncle taught me and random vocabulary picked up from films.

I think there might be something deliberate going on with bars in this movie–the jail cell now, Madhuri’s weirdly barred room later, the barely-holding-it-together fantasy shed that winds up making the same effect.

I love it that Aamir is wearing such ridiculous an outfit in the wedding scene. . . I think there might be an intended message there that goes along with the general moral of “Let your kids have lives, Anupam/Saeed/hypothetical viewer.” He (and Madhuri in almost every other scene) is dressed in western clothes, but despite being Wild College Kids they have more goals in common with their parents than the dads seem to think. The couple wants a marriage, a marriage with a proper wedding. . . even if that means tying her dupatta to his funky kakhi coat belt.
