Happy Sunday! I’ve got coffee ordered and being delivered shortly, the sun is out, Albie Dog has been fed, let’s do this thing! With the usual priviso that if no one shows up within the first 15-20 minutes, I cancel.
Baazigar! O Baazigar!
This is either the first or second SRKajol movie, I can never remember which. Definitely Shilpa Shetty’s first film. And it’s crazy and 90s and cute and over the top and all good things. Also, available for rent on Prime.
At 8am Chicago time, I will put up an “And PLAY!” comment and we will go along from there!

There’s a different version of this movie where SRK hasn’t gone so far as killing anyone yet, and after this scene we see Kajol return to her Dad and seemingly work with him and then betray him. Because SRK’s intensity convinced her to turn against her own father and play a double agent.

WHAT?! Really.

No, not really! I just mean you could take the same frameworka dn make it happen that way. And now I kind of want to fanfic it that way.
SPOILERS: Race 1 kind of does this, you think the heroine has changed allegiances and then she reveals she was in love with the hero all along and just pretending.
