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!

I love that Kajol rejects Aditya before falling in love with Saif again. She rejects Aditya because he’s a jerk. Not because of Saif. I really like the sequence of events.

I don’t think you would have to move to the big city to have a good career as a singer. How many college party songs have we seen set in Ooty? He can just work at those.

So BOTH Kajol and Saif were born lower on the wealth scale. Doesn’t that mean the gods were displeased with them?

Well, they were born poorer, but still into loving families, and this time (fingers crossed) they will actually survive falling in love. So that’s good, right?
