Woot! WatchAlong! I am slowly getting my life back! My weird pandemic isolation movie based life! Whatever, still better than being a milk and cheezit machine for a small child like I was last week.
Hameshaa! It’s available for rent on Prime for a small amount, it’s a classic 90s movie with crazy plot, big skirts and big hair, and super fun songs.
At 7am Central time, I will put an “And PLAY” comment on this post and we will comment along from there!

A sad thing is I keep thinking how much better this movie would have been with SRK in it, in any role!

In both cases no. Satyendra was back at the palace after Kajol had already left, and then when Saif looked out of the train door they were already past the curve and couldn’t see the station anymore.

“At least lock the counter before you die” – Usually I dislike the random comedy bits thrown in with character actors I don’t think are funny, but that was pretty good.

To Filmikudhi’s point, I suspect that NOW we will get a sex song. On the run, fireplace, change of clothes possible, it’s all set.

At work I’m constantly running across gospel songs that use mundane metaphors: “Life’s Railway to Heaven,” “Turn the Radio On,” “The Royal Telephone,” “God’s Ford.” Now I’m imagining “The Heavenly Canteen.”

My mom’s best friend moved to France and left her a fancy expresso machine. So while she does not want to watch the movie with me, my now awake mother did make me a cafe latte. I am so lucky!

I spent much of last night organizing my grandmother’s costume jewelry, which makes me wonder, is movie jewelry gold or costume? Could I tell the difference on a screen?
LikeLike
I think it’s all costume, but they do sometimes make real jewelry lines based on the movie styles. I’m just thinking costume because I don’t know how they could move if all that gold on them was real?

I just thought of how this movie could have been better. Go full out with Aditya badness. Have him re-make another girl into Kajol a couple years after her murder, rename her, redo her, marry her. And then kill her off when the re-incarnated Kajol reappears. His walls should be covered in Kajol art. Make him full psycho. Actually give him Kajol for a bit, and then let married Kajol escape with Saif. Make Kajol and Saif more societywise wrong in their love and Aditya more full on creepy. Oh, and add a final credits song.
