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!

The idea of Rani and SRK coming out of the station againa nd again to see their spouses, then their parents and suspect an affair, and then later being spotted themselves having an affair for real, is really good! Like, narrative foreshadowing, but also on some level showing that Rani and SRK are thinking about affairs. If only iit wasn’t handled so ridiculously!!!!

I wish I would enjoy these “happy” scenes between Rani and SRK. But I just feel bad for the spouses. Also, it feels like everything is heightened and exciting because they know deep down it is illicit and wrong.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Beyond illicit and wrong, it’s also a vacation from real life. Right? No worries about cleaning, about finances, about childcare. Just have coffee and joke with each other. If you went on vacation with your spouse, maybe you would have just as much fun!

My secondhand embarrassment is SO STRONG with that Rani scene. This is why I prefer ADHM, no secondhand embarrassment and Ranbir gets an earful from Anushka A LOT in it, which is satisfying. This movie, nope.

Very good point! Maybe next time I’ll just watch ADHM until almost the end up skip the actual ending. Anushka gets better and still doesn’t romantically love Ranbir and he has to suck it up, be a big boy and DEAL WITH IT!

Watch couples Therapy on prime ( you have to pay for Showtime), if SRK and Rani had gone to therapy their spouses they could have worked through it (possibly not Rani), but they didn’t try. The toxicity is in themselves.

First half yes, second half no. She didn’t do it because she had a little baby. But they did want to cast her, specifically Karan wanted there to be a distinctive age gap between Abhishek and his wife, so the whole “you see me a child” thing would make more sense.
