This is one of those “if no one shows up after 15 minutes…” weeks. I always get nervous when I change the time around! Oh, and also Fan is kind of a hard watch, so that makes me nervous too.
Fan
Sorry folks, no Koyla! I really REALLY want to pick Koyla, but it’s in Zee5 limbo, and even einthusan only has it with no subs. So instead, substituting Fan!!!
At 7pm on Saturday, I will put up a post and a “And PLAY” comment. And hopefully somebody will be able to join me! If no one joins within the first 15 minutes, I’ll call it a night and switch to watching something happy š

Ooh neat! That is midnight for me I think so I might have to dip out after a bit, but I’ll try to make the first part.
For future possibilities – I’ve streamed video onto the Discord chat app to host watch parties and it works great, if that would work for anyone? You can run the app inside a web browser on a pc, so you don’t have to install anything, just make an account.

Regardless Fan is a great movie and no longer available on Prime in the US I guess. So I’ve purchased in from YouTube and I have a glass of wine, and my sprained ankle is elevated, and I’ve never seen it on our large TV, so I’m watching!

My spouse believes that you need smaller bad things to happen so that the BIG bad things don’t. Yesterday driving up the street I pulled over when I saw cops talking to my son’s classmate with her scooter and helmet in their hands. I pulled over and it turned out she had been hit by a car scooting home from school. But she was fine, sore back but fine. So when I think about all the bad things that COULD happen (I have three kids), I become almost happy with my sprained ankle. Though it does make me temporarily grouchy.

I made a crack earlier in the day that there was no way my husband would watch, and indeed he couldn’t sit down with us when we started because he had to run out and buy pellets for our pellet stove so we don’t freeze tonight. I mention this so that fellow Indian film lovers know my spouse, who won’t watch Indian films, does have many other redeeming qualities.

Just noticed that when Guarav comes out after his SRK impersonation he is where a jacket MADE to look as though it is half a shirt untucked. Just like SRK throughout the 90s, but this time glittery and sequined and zip up. I love these watch-a-longs for making me look at films a second (or third) time, as well as the ones that have me watch a film for the first time.

The disconcerting thing about this film is that we can all see ourselves in Guarav. When I first became a fan I so wanted to meet SRK because I felt I could offer him something. And while it is true that I am an interesting person with a life TOTALLY different from his own, it took, perhaps too long, for me to see that he isn’t really interested in anything I would have to offer. But that obsession, that blind love that is sorta madness, most of his fans have probably experienced that at some point.
LikeLike
I can’t fathom his madness. I never had the need or desire to meet him. It’s only showed up since last year. I guess I grew up Loving him before social media and clear sense of separation between him and his life and mine. Nowadays it feels like we are so part of their lives with social media. It’s done my head in
