Saturday WatchAlong: Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham! For Diwali! And Joy! 7:30am Chicago time

Posted on by

Happy Saturday!!! And very VERY happy last-day-before-daylight-savings. I am sick of this! Very ready for an extra hour of sleep and the sun to be up when I walk the dog in the morning.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham

On Netflix and everywhere else in the world! Starting at 7:30am Chicago time. I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we will comment along from there!

Bask in our Amitabh-hate, Shahrukh-love, and Hrithik amused tolerance!

    • It is the most beautiful fall here that I can remember, because despite some mountain snow storms it never got cold enough to turn the leaves brown. It’s been shades of yellow to red for over a month. So while winter is coming, I appreciate that it isn’t at my house quite yet.

  6. Filmikudhi – when your child gets older you have to watch where they eat like a hawk. They will sneak bags of dorritos into their room to watch on the computer and get dorrito crud all over your keyboards!! Even if you hardly ever have dorritoes in your house, eventually you will find the crud on your keyboard. Never mind. Your child will be perfect. This won’t happen to you.

  9. Okay, now I am watching Jaya and Amitabh do talking heads about mother-father love. Filmikudhi, do NOT take this as a model for how you should parent!!!! Ideally both parents should be able to express love to their child. My Mom makes my Dad kiss me on the top of the head every time he sees me, so that works.

  11. I just read that Jaya is going to play a negative role in a Karan Johar film. I’m kinda excited about it. I’m looking at her smiling face hugging children and thinking “what will you be like evil?”

  13. Cricket. It doesn’t help that I’m a bit anti sports right now, but it so hard for me to take prep school boys dressed in white v-necks seriously.

  17. Filmikudhi, don’t raise your child in a house where the living room is as big as a ballroom. I blame much of the family dysfunction here on living room size.

  32. Okay Filmikudhi, in 22 years, what you want to do is tell the girl next door that you think she should marry your son, start treating her like a daughter-in-law, but never tell the boy what is happening. Because, and this is important, YOU will know better!!!!

        • Ha! Let’s wait 20 years and then drop it on them KKKG style!

          Also, how’s it going with the new addition? I’m so close. I’m already preparing for sleepless nights and dealing with wonderful but overly excited and opiniated grandparents.

          • I mean, if we’re agreed now, we could also promise them to each other right now. That way, when they meet (again) as adults, she can save him from the Vamp.

            Being home with Baby is actually pretty great. She’s such a social little person. Things only get really tough when I’m alone with both kids. But, yeah, it kind of makes me appreciate how much free time we ha already won back from Big Boy.

    • For Rajshri honour is always paramount, even though everything so so sexual underneath it all with all the INTENSE close-ups. Like, come on, no one looks at their friend’s wife like THAT unless they are having an affair.

  39. Genevieve, I assume your boys have already promised you to uphold the family honor and never make you unhappy? Because that is, obviously, more important than their personal happiness?

    • HA! Funny thing is the one that screams at me the most is also the one who always makes sure that I’m comfortable. We’ll see what happens, but we have no retirement savings so we’re living with one of them eventually!! (or it could be one lives with us) Hopefully we’ll be free childcare.

      • My mother has already told me many times that she would literally rather die than live with her children (independent not wanting to be obligated thing). So naturally, as a gesture of rebellion, I will wait until she has dementia and then FORCE her to live with me! Bwahahahaha!!!!

        • My dad feels the same way. But I tricked him to come stay with us during the pandemic and since then he keeps coming every 6 weeks or so and staying for a couple weeks. So I am hoping I can eventually trick him into it.

    • I love the word “Parampara”. When I get to spend time with my nephew in person again, I’m gonna teach him to say it. And to say it in the context of “having a second dessert, watching too much TV, spending the day in pajamas”. PARAMPARA!!!

    • I’m reading these after the fact, since I missed this watchalong, and if we ever did a drinking game, I am such a lightweight that my comments would become completely nonsensical so fast. But it would be so fun.

  43. THat whole nothing has changed interaction. Wouldn’t they have talked about that before?! I mean that is kinda a big deal. Arranging a marriage without the wife’s knowledge? I hate Amitabh

  48. Oh, now is a good time for me to share my brother-in-law’s murder idea for this movie! Amitabh committs suicide, but in a way that makes it appear to be murder, so that he can continue to ruin everyone’s lives even after death.
