Woot, Dilwale! For Christmas! Kind of! Anyway, it feels Christmassy to me. And a nice relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning. Oh, and since RSVPs were low, reminder that if no one shows up within the first 15 min, I will just reschedule.
Dilwale! It’s on Netflix, should be easy to find no matter where you are in the world.
At 8am I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and we will go from there!

I love Kajol’s dress here. And it’s the same style in later scenes too. When I was growing up, my Mom’s “nice occasion dress” was this style, shirtdress with big skirt and belt.

I know I say this every time, but it’s true every time. This was the song where Kajol was most nervous after 2 years away. And I feel like you can see that, SRK sort of guiding and taking care of her so there’s this real world caring that layers on top of the character’s love story and just makes it lovely.

That whole sequence could totally be a song video on it’s own. I mean, an American style music video where you get the mood of the older lovers meeting again. Add on an epilogue where they both go back to other spouses, and you really have something lovely and bittersweet.

Normally I am anti the “loyalty to family over love” plot. But in this case a) it’s SRK! He’s the best! and b) it feels less like loyalty to family and more like basic self-respect and not being willing to roll over.

Thank you for the watch a long Margaret!!! That was fun. I haven’t seen the movie in a while, and I do really like it. I was going to take the kids to a Christmas village in the mountains, but there is such a big storm I’m worried we would be burried in an avalanche. So now I think our day may entail a lot more TV, yet I don’t think anything else we watch will be as fun.
Thanks again!
