Friday WatchAlong: Jab Tak Hai Jaan! 3pm Chicago Time! Snow and Churches and Everything CHRISTMAS!!!!

Posted on by

Woo-hoo! Friday WatchAlong!!! Grandpa’s family funeral weekend, and yet I am maintaining normalcy! Also, I’m pumped to watch this movie with y’all.

Gonna let Grandpa introduce it with his review (he asked for Indian movies to watch so he could understand my interests):

Jab Tak Hai Jaan   Obviously a Bollywood production. Well done and a good love story mixed with some moderate action. The hero by working hard goes from part time jobs to owning and operating a successful restaurant. His love interest who is engaged to another takes a church vow of separation if his life will be saved after an accident. He goes off to Afghanistan and a dangerous position in the army. There another girl is involved. It is a good story and the scenes as filmed were interesting and sometimes spectacular. The two ladies were good actors and surprising to me very good dancers. As is usual in these films all of a sudden there are a whole bunch of people doing a elaborate dance routine. It was two minutes short of three hours and I view it all in one sitting.

Let’s see if we can be as good as Grandpa and view it all in one sitting! At 3pm Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment on this post and we will all comment along together from there. Yaaaaaay!

  3. Your Grandpa’s review is so sweet! I’ve to miss this one because of work, and then I really like to be outside these days to take in the last rays of the sun (hate the short days!). Hope you all have fun snarking!

  4. Hey there, I was noodling on the site in bed after an exhausting week, ready to nod off, when I realised – Friday! That’s today!! 3pm Chicago means there’s still time here in Britland! So I have charged downstairs, made an Enormous cup of tea and hotted up a sausage roll i brought home for my son, only he’s out on the razz, and hit the sofa with great anticip…ation. Sharukh as a bomb disposal expert, oh my oh my!!

  21. Loving the bomb-proof mittens – am lagging a bit, PRIME!! Now got subtitled version and even managed to switch on dreadful subtitles. Still, visuals are fab 🙂

  27. Theories as to why Kat was white when she was a little girl: She is adopted and as an adult started dying her hair black. There is a regressive white gene somewhere in her family that goes away in adulthood. They couldn’t find a single desi child actress in all of London to play the role.

  31. Would the movie be better if SRK was playing 35 here and 45 later? So he was distinctly older than Kat and also a 35 year old still finding himself, but closer to his real age?

  37. Okay, pretty sure this is how they do his face: There’s tape pulling it back and tight at the hair line, they a hair piece to thicken the front and cover the tape. And finally, loads and loads of foundation to hide all wrinkles. So instead of his face looking fuller in youth, it looks thinner and tighter, which is weird.

  49. Ya know I’ve worn short skirts in very populated cities, but only once or twice. There is a reason I didn’t wear them more. Nice that Kat isn’t constantly harrassed in the movie though.
