Happy Kirre’s Birthday Week!!!!! We are watching a movie that has been recommended to me many times, but I’ve never got around to watching. So, the perfect birthday pick!
Aarzoo! It’s only available on einthusan, so you should watch it there. And then also, we should all be more or less time synced which is the BEST way to do a watchalong.
At 3pm Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we can all just keep commenting along. I’m excited! We never watch a new-to-Margaret movie!
I honestly find the all-denim look into which the background boys have transitioned very charming.

Yes, Madhuri, get away from these crazy people

Madhuri’s outfits in this movie are all very nice. Classic, stylish and still fashionable to an extent.

This was after DTPH, right? Because I’m sensing it will be a similar love triangle, only with Akshay in the opposite role.

Are pilot uniforms particularly sexy? Or is he actually a pilot? Are we back in reality?

He is actually a pilot.

Is it just me, or whenever Akshay speaks (not just in this film, but in general), does it sound like his mouth is particularly full of spit?
LikeLike
YES! Thank you, that is exactly how to describe it.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH RAJKUMAR!!!! Everyone has to!!! But you in particular. It’s a total throwback fantasy fair tale film, and aruna irani plays a Sorceress, and Madhuri is a Princes.

This is (I think) the third time you have told me to watch “Rajkumar” and alas, I have not gotten around to it yet! But I HAVE added it to my spreadsheet of films to see, which is currently only *checks* 1,098 rows long.

Madhuri and Akshay have great matching physical comedy styles, that is fun to see. Even though, once again, I find Madhuri has less chemistry opposite a stronger co-star.

Now this matched set of intriguingly beige clothing actually looks very in-fashion for the 2020s.
