Happy Sunday! We are watching this perfectly pleasant 90s movie that, somehow, is a beloved favorite of many of you. But, WHY??? I understand liking it, I like it myself, but a favorite? Oh well, I live to serve, so y’all get to have a nice watchalong with me.
Hum Hain Rahe Pyar Ke is all over the place, on einthusan and for rent on youtube and maybe for free with no subs on youtube too. Seems like it’s mostly the same length in all those places too, so it won’t matter much which you choose. Pick one and join us!
At 12:30pm Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and we will go from there!

Well, it’s based on no real person living or dead, but it is a ripoff of the Hollywood film Houseboat without any royalties paid. Oh well, Hollywood has enough money.

As a kid, I was in a big crafts store (Hobby Lobby? Michael’s?) and heard my name over the PA. I thought I was being called, so I reported to whichever department they mentioned. Turned out they simply had an employee with the same first name as me and I was separating myself from my parents rather than returning myself to them!

Kudhi (or anybody whose Hindi exceeds mine, which is probably everybody): is “chor ke ghar chor” a common turn of phrase? I know it from the Randhir movie of that name and from this one joke.

It is. “Chor ke ghar chor” or “Chor ke ghar mein chor” both mean thief on a thief’s house and it is very common!
