Saturday WatchAlong: Aan! The Dilip Kumar Fairy Tale, 8:30am Chicago Time

Posted on July 10, 2021 by mredlich21

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, Fairy Tales! I love fairy tales. And this one has a noble poor boy and a proud princess and all kinds of things.

Aan! It’s available for rent on Prime, or for free on Einthusan. Such fun!

At 8:30am Chicago time, I will put up a comment saying “and PLAY” and then we will all comment along.

Just once I want a movie where a woman is really mean to a guy who loves her because she hates him, she always hates him, and he gets the message and LEAVES.
