SHAHRUKH MONTH!!!! I am SO ready for it this year!!!!! Starts tomorrow, I don’t even know for sure what I am going to be doing, but I know inspiration will come upon me and it will be MAGNIFICENT. Also, usually I say “don’t worry, there will be non-SRK content too”. This month, I MAKE NO SUCH COMMITMENT!!! DCIB could very well become an all-SRK/all the time sort of place for the next 30 days. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to read it 🙂
Yes Boss! On youtube for free and legal, also on einthusan for sort of free and sort of legal.
At 3:30pm Chicago time I will put up an “And PLAY” comment and then we will go from there!

Do I need to worry about SPOILERS? Has everyone seen this once? Just in case, SPOILER COMMENT: The reveal at the end that Juhi liked him best all along is making me watch her performance carefully for hints that she is waiting for him to make his move. She is DEFINITELY into him in this scene. END SPOILER

I was being a little provocative. As Farah Khan says, Shah Rukh will have chemistry with a chair if he is asked to. But he and Kajol have something special. It’s just that so do he and Juhi. And he and Rani. And he and Anushka. 🙂

He and Rani seem to have the sex part of chemistry down but not the banter as much. Or maybe I just don’t like Rani as much. It was amazing how bad it was with the Swades actress. I’m gonna say that lack of chemistry was all on her. She never looked like she liked him.

Am I crazy, or does SRK have more of an adult vibe in this movie than in most others from this era? The sort of calm way he is laughing at the guard and working with it instead of goofing at him or getting mad or anything? Very different from Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman or Zamaana Deewana or DDLJ.

He and Juhi in this movie are both such a bewitching mix of almost grown up, sometimes cynical, but still so innocent of real badness. Such actors, and I think Aziz Mirza’s direction too.

Anybody remember “The Burning Train”? It has an opening where two of the heroes conspire to impress girls that they’ve admired from afar by having one boy pose as a goonda and the other one “save” her. (Then vice versa with the other girl.) Here at least it’s clear it’s supposed to be creepy. . .

This scene is very well placed. We had their cute first sort of date that could have been something. And then they don’t interact directly for who knows how long, by which point Juhi is firmly his boss’s girlfriend. And they are starting fresh with her as “Madam” and him as the funny servant type she makes fun of. Pretending that earlier interaction never happened.
