Happy Saturday! I am very excited about this movie and very nervous that I might have to leave before the end. I have an appointment at 10:30 and, depending on traffic, I may not have enough time. Oh well, y’all can finish without me if you have to, and I can watch the last 20 minutes on my own. Or, traffic will be good and I can stay straight through.
Dedh Ishqiya! Madhuri! Naseeruddin Shah! Clever plot! Lesbianism implied!!!! All good things. And it’s on Netflix!
At 7:30am I will put up an “and PLAY” comment here and we will keep commenting along!

It’s a loose sequel to Ishqiya, so I think they wanted something that would say “it’s a sequel” but also make sense on it’s own, these people are just sort of passionate.

Urdu poetry is superior poetry. Don’t argue with me, it just is, same with Persian or Arabic. There is just something so LOVELY about the words and how they stream together.

Agreed. Urdu just sounds so elegant. It’s part of the reason I love watching some of the Pakistani serials. Especially in Humsafar, I could listen to Mahira and Fawad speak all day!

Vishal Bharadwaj wrote the screenplay (one of the writers) and was a producer, so if there are quirky things like that gun off then it’s most likely because of him.

I just mentioned him in response to your previous comment. He also wrote the music, probably in coordination with his wife. Everything about this movie is so Vishal Bhardwaj!
