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!!!)

It’s a very classical contrivance, too. I’d rather have forced misunderstandings because people can’t explain themselves than because they won’t, which is probably the more common variant!

Oh oh oh, is it 2015 now? So that was when she died to her family? But later I’ll see her walk through the mob money house with Harsh at the end of the movie, and they drink wine together remembering when she died to her family and they started their life together?

Following Kirre’s theory, which I am totally into, do we think he is also slightly neurodivergent, or just not good with words? Or just tragically in love and therefore shy?
