Woot, Sunday movie! I had such a day of accomplishments yesterday, got groceries and hung a picture and all kinds of things, and now it is lovely to just have a nice sloooooooooooooow morning.

It’s on Netflix, it looks fun, it has Sonakshi and we love her.
At 7:30am Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we will all comment along from there.

This is probably inappropriate to think, but the T-Series logo is so extremely religious and the founder Gulshan Kumar was shot in a drive by as he was leaving a Temple. Wouldn’t that make you question religion?

Shopping while large is a pain in the butt! My mom was obese when I was little, and she wore the same polyester pants everyday with different sweaters. She lost 100 lbs when I was in college, and now she has three closets full of clothes.

I really like how they had Sonakshi and Huma look. First, two actresses whose faces look good oversized, and second whatever they did with the bodies (had them gain weight, CGI, fat suit) is very lowkey and subtle, they are well proportioned and can still live their lives, just aren’t size 0.
