Happy Sunday! I got my coffee, I got my little dog snuggled against me, I am all set to enjoy this lovely film with y’all. Unless no one shows up within the first 15 minutes in which case I cancel and do something else š
Chennai Express!
It’s on Netflix, it has great songs, SRK looks good, what’s not to love?
At 8am Chicago time I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and we will go along from there!

If SRK were younger, I would actually find this less acceptable I think? He’s not some spoiled brat who is refusing to grow up, he put in a good 20 years as the perfect grandson and now wants to be a brat.
