Woops, not sure anyone actually confirmed they could join me for this. Oh well, if it’s just me I’ll work on my puzzle while I watch. Still the best way to start the new year!

So glad Farah has made it her mission to always do happy films; I just wished she’d continue doing them, because the world needs healing and happiness so badly

Yea, and he is way too manly and macho about it and only seems to cater to a specific audience instead of many like Farah

It is actually kinda hard to watch SRK get thrashed. Despite the shirtlessness and mud, it isn’t enjoyable.

Boston University Topper – now earning money by fighting in mud. Kinda hard to believe. Also, I forgot how hot SRK is in this movie.

The DVD has an alternative opening they shot which makes more sense, SRK doing a big pitch to try to sell a safe to a bunch of old people. More sensical (failed salesman versus mud fighter), but way less fun.
