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!

This song also feels timeless. No big 90s chorus behind them, just a boy and a girl walking down the street and goofing around. It could be in a Raj Kapoor movie, or in a Ranbir Kapoor movie, you know?

My vote: Juhi is 90% agreeing to this because she loves Shahrukh and wants him to be less miserable. And 10% agreeing to it because she kind of hopes it will get Shahrukh to actually SAY SOMETHING finally.

They’ve crossed this line from him wanting to do the charade to pay for maa’s surgery, to him feeling obligated to do it because the charade itself is keeping maa happy. Kind of reminds me of “Baseraa,” when Rakhee comes back from the asylum and everybody in the household pretends that everything was the same as before she left to try and keep her feeling stable. But the cracks show, of course.

That was something I really liked about the film you recommended, Filmikhudi. . . there was the usual manufactured conflict from people not speaking their minds, but finally all the characters got there and talked things out like adults instead of stewing and dying in silence as per usual : P
LikeLike
Oh did you watch it? YES! I love that they all talk things out. Also Rakhee and Shashi are so amazing it in. So flawed, and head strong, and a bit broken.
LikeLike
Yes, I did! Watched it on Wednesday. Wrote you a comment up top (not detailed). I think I will want to rewatch it sometime with somebody with better Hindi. . . I feel like I may have missed some important stuff in Rakhee and Rati’s big talking scene. But what I understood, I loved! I am convinced now that it is the best acting I have seen from Rakhee. Some of the passages near the end were legitimately hard to watch, it was so tender and sad and honest-feeling between Rakhee and Shashi.
Plus, the attack of the squiggly red dots is a Movie Disease I didn’t even know I needed to worry about ( ;

OOOH, which post did you comment on? Wednesday Watching? I didn’t get a notification. I am trying to find the comment so I can comment back.

No, just a little note near the top of this post–forgot to mention it at all on Wednesday. Always feel free to recommend me middle-aged love stories! Including the sad ones.
Without you mentioning, I would not have put together that it was so soon after Jennifer died. That made the hospital stuff worse.
Surprisingly, it might also have been the best that Deven Verma’s comedy has ever worked for me–?
LikeLike
Yes! It feels like Shashi poured all of his grief into this movie and it made it so much more real and touching.
I will keep the recommendations coming. PLEASE do the same!!! I am always looking for recommendations from people who have similar taste in movies. And I am always interested in watching something I haven’t seen before.
Also, yes, Deven Verma is a bit like Johnny Lever in that most of the time he is just irritating to me.
LikeLike
I honestly laughed at the bit where Rakhee still thought that Deven was “Prakash” and Deven was doing both his own voice and an imaginary maid’s voice in the kitchen, having an entire argument with himself. But yes, usually he just makes me tired : P
