Okay, I know almost all of you have already seen it, but it’s a whole different thing watching it in a watchalong! Join in with the comments below, have brilliant new thoughts, and be all swoony together.

Tragically it is Eros limbo, so technically listed on Prime but only if you sign up for the Eros subscription which isn’t worth it because half the stuff isn’t subtitled. Instead, I recommend einthusan. Which has it’s own problems, but at least stuff is subtitled! Oh, and you can also rent on YouTube.
At 7:30am Chicago time I will put up an “And PLAY” comment and we will all go along from there! Crazy over the top unrealistic love story, here we come! (yes, I will be snarky. Even on Kirre’s birthday. I’M SORRY!!!)

So I have not been converted into Harsh fandom, and had never seen this movie, but I woke up early and saw the first 40 minutes and I can say he is VERY well built. Also, I can’t think of a movie with a more shirtless man in it.

Starting out a movie finding out that a love interest is dead is kinda a bummer. But I haven’t seen the film so hopefully they’ll be some sort of twist and she died in 2015 because she changed her name?

I have never actually known a pack of girls to walk up to someone just to say mean things. And I was an outcast throughout school so if it happened to people I would assume it would have happened to me. But no, no one has ever said something directly mean to my face. But I see it all the time in movies.

It happened to me once, a bunch of more popular girls came up to call me a ‘weirdo’. It was such a high school stereotype I thought they were being ironic and laughed! That might have been part of the reason I was a weirdo!

Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru who wrote and directed the film just invented a trope and a scene that should be the gold standard for romance novels, because this is somehow both realistic, insane, fantastical and utterly cute at the same time

Have any of you-all seen elevator skits? The setup being that a combination of people get trapped in an elevator and have to deal with the boredom/dynamics. When my mother was an impressario, they used to do those kinds of skits all the time and develop different characters/jokes for them. But I’m not certain if it’s a widespread thing or just something that her director particularly liked ; D
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yea, it is not the elevator, it is HOW you use the elevator and SYK uses it brilliantly
LikeLike
Oh, I wasn’t trying to say it was the same thing! Those elevator skits would always have a larger group of characters instead of just a couple. I’m just wondering if that’s a trope that other people recognize. Since I’ve only seen it on stage, I can’t really gauge popularity. Though I have a vague recollection of seeing an older movie (’50s/’60s) with people trapped on a Ferris wheel and interacting in the same kind of way!
