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!

Is it me or throughout this whole movie and in others of course does it seem like all of these “Americans” or actually Europeans? I don’t know if that sounds weird but like every time somebody speaking English it’s like they don’t have an accent that matches where they’re supposed to be which is in New York. Maybe the only one was the nurse.

Thoughts: Should SRK just have sucked it up and recommitted to his marriage and never told Preity? Or is it better for her to know everything and be able to move on? Or should he have just asked for a divorce without tell her why?

I think he had to come clean and he knew that it would end the marriage. It would come out at some point anyway.

Rani is an orphan, feels pressured into a loveless marriage even if it is by her own doing, is unhappy and sad. I should feel more sympathy for her, right? And yet, I don’t. I have no sympathy for Rani. Everything was her own doing and she takes zero responsibility for her role in ruining both her and Abhishek’s life. And she basically kills Amitabh with her callousness!!! No sympathy!
LikeLiked by 1 person
And she takes zero responsibility for making her life better! She isn’t some simple village teenager, she is an educated woman in New York. Sex Counseling! Adoption! Regular old couples therapy! So many simple things that she never bothered to try, because it was easier to stew in her own disappointment.

Despite all the grief I give it, I actually really like the purpose of this song. Karan could easily have had them rush into each other’s arms immediately, but we the audience have to be convinced that this is a love that will really last, and we also kind of want to see them suffer before they find happiness. And see a happy ending for Abhisheka nd Preity too. Really good to give us a 2 years montage.
