Pathaan!!!!! Normally I’d say “if no one shows up in 15 minutes, I’ll cancel”. But I’ve been looking forward to watching this, so I don’t care if no one shows up, I’ll just happily watch by myself.
Pathaan
It’s on Prime, it’s got SRK, it is everything happy and good in the world.
At 8am Chicago time, I will put up an “and PLAY!” comment and we will all comment along from there!

I wish they’d put another song in for the club scene, sigh.

It is the meta Shahrukh origin story, beyond the character there are just so many callbacks to his previous roles it can’t be seen as anything other than meta and what he means for India and cinema

I don;’t like this new thing where everyone speaks English with American accents. I prefer when foriegn movie English was Vaguely British. now I keep thinking I should recognice the acter as American.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Or maybe people from other countries learn English in different ways, and thus the accent being American just means that is how the person learned how to speak English with that accent, Margaret. I am not American, but I do slip into an American or Posh British accent when speaking English depending on the situation

Again, using SRK’s tiny tininess in the fight scene! He is faster than the big guys, and more flexible, he doesn’t have to be as big as them.

I had a friend point out that this means John really truly never planned on anything besides revenge on the World. Before the negotiation scene, before getting payment from the General, he had already put the virus on the plane heading for an International Airport and set to go off right before it lands. So it would manage to infect not just the people on the plane, but everyone at the airport before they got on their planes.

I was thinking, the Tiger-Zoya love story is about them running off together so they can builda life blah blah. But Pathaan-Rubai seems to be about “we really don’t care about building a life together, we are just going to have secret meetups a few times a year and not change our lives otherwise”.

I think one might be Hrithik, but otherwise feels like they and we, too, know that the new lot isn’t going to threaten them in the slightest in terms of superstardom and even the ones that are called ‘superstars’ are manufactured words, but not really have such a devoted following for years like these two have

When I was watching it for the 10th time yesterday in honor of the watchalong, I was thinking that what they are saying is kind of reflecting what I think as audience. When a new actor comes along I have interest and I’m questioning whether I can love them like Shahrukh and pretty soon I’m like naah
