Happy Sunday! It’s overcast and snowy outside and both me and Albie Dog are feeling grumpy. So this film had better live up to it’s feel good rep!
Tara vs Bilal
It’s on Netflix, every DCIBer who’s seen it has given it a good review, I am willing to check it out especially if I have y’all to watch it with me.
At 8am Chicago time, I will put up an “And PLAY” comment and we will go from there!

Yeah, the table over there with the two gentlemen. I’m certain that narrows it down.

Scramming with the money/jewelry and threatening her with the police both make perfect sense, but the whole “your traditional Indian marriage means nothing here” did feel overblown. I don’t know why a person who’s in it for the money would care either way.

It is psychopathic to want to hurt her so much AFTER taking all her money and ditching her. There just aren’t that many psychopaths around. More likely a human would try to avoid the person they hurt.

If we take that approach, there would never be psychopaths in movies.

What might make sense for me is he sees her still in England, with friends adn support around her, and gets worried she really will file a police report. So he has to EXTRA scare her.

I’m saying it now, this movie is TOO complicated. I think they should have started at the “their two gay bffs are in love so they meet” point, the rest just makes my head hurt with coincidences.

I think the real answer is they filmed it in the middle of the night because that is when they could and they didn’t bring in extras.
