  15. First time I’m watching this and I’m having a feeling that she’s a slight bit inexperienced in certain things. One being the whole stripper deal where she fumbled over a few things, drank beyond her limit, and rn the way she’s telling Ajay that she doesn’t want a relationship before he’s even said anything.

  23. Ajay is hot here, and yet he isn’t attractive. I mean he turns himself attractive, but in most still shots I wouldn’t find him attractive, older big nosed guy and all. I just kinda love actors, and how they can MAKE themselves attractive.

    Also I kinda hate Ajay’s fancy apartment door.

  24. Ajay was friends with the groom, and he doesn’t like being called Uncle. Does he ever hang out with people his own age?

  25. This speech to the boyfriend is so great. A macho option would be to throw him out, but this way actually gets rid of him. Ajay’s all about fixing the problem for Rakul, not being cool.

  26. I love how long this movie takes to get them together, it really isn’t just “she’s young, he’s rich”, they like each other.

  28. The non-stop FULL ON EVENING make-up has gotten on my nerves. Couldn’t they lighten it up for morning? Maybe show her without perfect hair as she wakes up? It kinda visually turns her into a barbie doll. Actually, her constant upbeat highly energtic persona is a bit barbie too.

  29. Ajay is a cool happy guy who hasn’t had time to see his kids in a couple of years. He is rich, he could have them come to him. I just can’t slip past that. It is like I really visually want to think he is cool and happy, but the facts tell me he is weak and pathetic.

  30. I’m at the scene between the dude visiting his girlfriend and Ajay and of course I love it 😂
    “Indian?”
    *nods*
    “Punjabi?”
    *nods*
    “How long?”
    *tells him how long*
    “Kabootar?” (pigeon)
    “Visa” 😂😂😂

  31. I adore the mugging scene. Adore it – but I know others aren’t there yet – so just know – an awsome mugging in a shockingly clean allyway is coming!

  34. Spouse just brought me coffee. He is not rich but has not moved to another country abandoning his children. Therefore my life is better than the movies!

  35. I kind of agree that he’s being a good friend, I think. they can’t just keep floating through this love story without having The Talk, might as well do it now.

  38. To Genevieve’s point, I think this is where the movie starts to embrace “Ajay is a loser” as part of his character. He may be cool, he may be in love, but he knows he is a failure at the most important things in life.

  40. So in his little speech after the therapist frenemy bursts their buble. He says he has been a bad father. And then he says later that he is just living the day. Which is in truth a recipe for being a bad father. No one actually wants to wake up and a change a diaper while it is happening, or take kids to sports practices.

  41. Anyone else getting shades of JHMS in this breakup? Everything’s perfect until a friend pushes them into reality, and now they are agreeing that they might as well end it sooner rather than later.

    Except in this movie there are real-er reasons than in JHMS. Although it’s the same “we broke up for sensible reasons but now I’m miserable” follow up.

    • I know a person who married and then became a father at 52. Kids are the same age as mine. ONe of my close friends growing up had a father that was in his 70s when we went to college. He was a friend of her grandfathers, who showed her mother around town when she went to college and well…. There were issues, but he was her dad, and he was a better dad than a 15 year old would have been. There is a 30 year age gap in my neighbor’s marriage. So I don’t feel age is a real-er reason. BUT the wanting and not wanting of children is.

    • I actually could see a couple JHMS parallels even beyond the breakup, like how Ajay’s tendencies in a fight is to defuse a situation or how Rakul wants to push him into giving straight answers. I think DDPD’s Talk is a bit more levelheaded and less passionate that JHMS’ Fight. Harry and Sejal aren’t in the right headspace to hash things out rationally (tho Sejal really tries) and Ashish and Ayesha actually get to calmly talk about issues that they weren’t clearly confronted earlier.

  45. So as they arrive in India and Ajay deflects all difficult conversations with a “look at the mountains” “look at the clouds” I get the sense that he has practice in avoidance.
