Back when nepotism was exciting and not unfair, we were all super pumped about Aamir Khan’s nephew being launched. And he was cute! And funny! And super super charming!!! And the whole freakin’ movie was super super charming too. Watch it with me and be charmed. Oh, and it’s on Netflix.
At 7:30am Chicago time, I’ll put up an “And PLAY” comment here and we will start together and keep commenting!

I first watched this movie when I was 23 and I have to admit I missed almost all the red flags with this dude. So I guess it’s realistic that Aditi would be all “he’s cool, he’s adventorous, he’s friends aren’t that different from mine”

I love that Imraan senses right away that something is wrong with Jai. His expression changes. He makes sure Jai knows that Aditi has people in her corner. He gets the same expression he had when the police officer (Paresh Rawal) goes too far with Ranta. It isn’t silly jealousy in the beginning with he meets Sushant. It is a sense that something isn’t right.

I find Meghna the most fascinating character in this movie. Her combination of delusion and self-awareness, and that she is actually a good caring person with a real heart and emotions. And that Jai is part of her journey just as she is part of his. I want a Meghna sequel! Show her working through this stuff and being happy!

I love this dialogue between Imraan and Meghna. She flatly explains that she knows what she’s doing. She is not ready to deal with her trauma yet and asks him not to push her to do so until she is ready. And then she breaks up with him. So mature. So real.
