Happy Sunday!!!! Our first Sunday watchalong in a while. In honor of Rachel’s birthday. And in honor of me FINALLY getting someone to watch Kabhi Alvida na Kehna with me.
It’s on youtube, it’s on googleplay, it’s on Netflix, and it’s probably on einthusan!!!! You have no reason not to watch it! Except for maybe that you don’t enjoy it! In which case you can watch it and hate on it! So, HA! Still no excuse!
At 10am Chicago time I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and we will keep going from there!

This scene is so great. This is the first scene that really feels like it is getting at the movie Karan wanted to make. The whole “5 million sports STAR” and “sex workers everywhere” and “Top Fashion Magazine” opening intros were stupid, but just two people talking about love and marriage and friendship on a bench, is nice.

I kind of love the film for that little thing and wish they had more of it. So often the barren woman is set up as “she is letting down her husband” so Abhishek is trying to be nice and saying “I honestly don’t care”. But, what about a woman’s right to want to have children just for herself?

Is the little kid supposed to be a bit of Karan? On one hand, from all accounts, Karan’s parents were very supportive and lovely. However, maybe he is projecting how other kids bullied him?
LikeLike
Ooo! I hadn’t thought about that at all! Also from Karan’s account, his mother was stricter and had higher standards for him than his father, who more tended to indulge him. So maybe, SRK=Hiroo, Preity=Yash

If you had to choose between this movie with the inappropriate humor, of the top costumes, and so on. Or Ae Dil Hai Mushkil which was tonely consistant the whole time. Which would you choose?
I think I would still pick this one because I just find Rani and SRK so much more sympathetic than stupid Ranbir.

If Rani had only spoken up before they were married! We know from Rani’s perspective that she was not in love. But maybe Abhishek was not either but knowing she is an orphan and can’t have kids, he couldn’t just abandon her? Not a good reason to marry her but I would have loved to know Abhishek’s reason for marrying Rani.
LikeLike
He said he asked for 3 years, so I always thought he was truly in love/lust with her. If nothing else he is definitely in lust. Maybe just simple thinking? He knows her, he is attracted to her, his father will approve. And then after they get married, he conscientiously falls in love with her the way he is supposed to, but doesn’t understand that she is more complicated than that.
