Have you noticed I can’t seem to decide on a spelling for this dang movie? To many vowels! to many t’s and b’s! I just don’t know. But you know the movie I am talking about, right?
Mohabbatein! It’s on Prime and youtube and all kinds of places. It is very long and fairly boring in places, but has great songs and Shahrukh and sweaters on sweaters and sweaters.
At 3pm Chicago time, I will put up an “And PLAY” comment and we will go from there. Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Ok, I missed the dance competition part of this
LikeLike
To be fair, I don’t think that they’re, like, specifically preparing a dance for the competition in this sequence? But the competition is why they’re spending time together recently. The girls’ college’s honor depends on winning it for a fourth year in a row, or so we have been informed.

I actually can’t think of a lot of dancing scenes like this, fairly extended but just to instrumental music instead of a proper song.

She is a ghost who follows him now when she couldn’t do that when she lived. It is nicer than thinking he is just soooo heartbroken he has gone mildly insane.

Okay, if Aish is a for real-real ghost, than we have to go with the theory that she started haunting SRK, explained that she could only incorporate after love defeated tradition, and this song is the culmination of her weird efforts to become a ghost/human person so they can kiss. Yes? No?

So I don’t usually like these plots where one person (SRK) is just perfect in everyway and makes everything better always. However, he is SO CUTE in this, despite the multiple sweaters, that I’ll forgive the plot a bit.
