Oh boy! Another great interesting section! Although not as interesting as the next section, my favorite part of the film. (full index of Jab Harry Met Sejal coverage here)

Jab Harry Met Sejal Scene By Scene: Part 5, “Chinese Vase”
I’m here! I’m excited! The first scene which really needs explanation and discussion or else it makes no sense. The one that we all get to have arguments about what it really means and if it is stupid or works and how we all (and all the characters) feel about things. Oh boy! (full Jab Harry Met Sejal index here)
Jab Harry Met Sejal Scene By Scene: Part 4, Phones and Clothes
Happy Friday! And Happy 4th part of JHMS scene by scene. I saw it for the 4th time last night, and you know, it holds up! Besides a couple of kind of slow parts in the second half, mostly just because the second half had more moments when Shahrukh and Anushka weren’t on screen together, and that’s what makes the movie work. But the songs, the character, all of that is still rewarding re-watching. But now I really need to stop, because the lack of sleep is beginning to catch up with me. (full index of JHMS coverage here)
Jab Harry Met Sejal Scene By Scene Part 3: Indemnity Bond!
Happy Thursday! My 4th and final watch is tonight. Which is usually the watch where I stop enjoying the film. 1st time, so-so, but there is so much to process I am overwhelmed. 2nd time, much better, I can relax and focus. 3rd time, usually as good as the 2nd time. 4th time, now I am starting to get bored because I know absolutely everything already. And then 5th time is DVD/streaming a couple months later, and I am back in. Anyway, good news is, now that I have seen it 3 times, my memories are pretty locked in and I can do the scene by scenes without struggling too much. (full JHMS index here)
Hello Youtube Focus Group! New Video on Box Office
Have I mentioned that technology hates me? Or at least, doesn’t like me much? Following your notes on my last post, I tried a fast-talking excited video. And then after 3 days of trying, have totally failed to figure out how to add graphics (the other big suggestion). So put a pin in the graphics requests (unless you have a suggestion for a free program I can download to do them), and just focus on the talking head part of it.
Jab Harry Met Sejal Scene By Scene Index
I don’t know why I didn’t start doing this ages ago. So much easier to just have one place to come back to instead of trying to link to every other post from within each post like some kind of crazed math graphing problem. It’s here! It’s all here! And I will just update this one place as I add new posts.
Jab Harry Met Sejal Scene By Scene Part 2: A Shameful Attraction
Oh boy! Moving right along, I’m like a whole 5 minutes in! Which wouldn’t seem like a lot, except I’ve been working on my DDLJ scene by scene, and that is sooooooooooooooo much slower. And here I am, only on part 2, and we are already past the opening credits! Woo-hoo! Lightening speed! (although, in case you were wondering, no DDLJ today, skipping another Wednesday. Partly because this post took up a lot of time, partly because getting only 6 hours of sleep because I am seeing JHMS every night is not in fact conducive to clear thinking) (full index of scene by scene here)
Jab Harry Met Sejal Scene By Scene: Part 1, First Song and First Meeting
Welcome to the first scene by scene since Bahubali 2! Which might make you go “really? This movie?” But yes! Really! This movie! It deserves it. (full index of JHMS coverage here)
Box Office: Jab Harry Met Sejal, Not As Bad As it Could Be!
Okay, are we all ready to set aside our expectations and our prejudices and look at raw figures? Are we excited? Do we have our calculators out and our common sense hats on? Are we ready to try to figure out a pun based on the title of this movie, because I couldn’t and I need help? (The best I could come up with was “Jab Harry Met Slow Business”, which isn’t great).
Monday Morning Questions After Jab Harry Met Sejal!
Jab Harry Met Sejal Video Review
And a 3rd review! Which I did first, and then wrote the other two (no spoilers and spoilers) while the video processed. And I did it in one take (oooo!), because there was no way I was putting my hair back up again.
Jab Harry Met Sejal Review (SPOILERS): She Is His Radha
No Spoilers review is already up, time for SPOILERS! And then, sometime next week, I start the slow crawl through the scene by scene. Because yes, this movie is good enough to deserve it. Oh, and also good enough that you shouldn’t SPOIL yourself if you are planning to watch it. Not super super good, I don’t want to oversell it, but good enough that it is worth avoiding spoilers.
Jab Harry Met Sejal Review (NO SPOILERS): So Sexy I Think I’m Pregnant
OH MY GOD!!! If you are attracted to Shahrukh Khan, and if you have found him increasingly attractive as he ages, then this movie will KILL YOU. Like, kill you dead. I thought he was distracting in Dear Zindagi, but this is a whole other level. However, I should warn you, if you are not attracted to Shahrukh Khan, or find him less attractive as he ages, you will not enjoy this movie.
Happy Shahrukh Release Day!!!
Oh happy happy day! I love New Shahrukh Release Day! The preparation and excitement are almost as much fun as actually seeing the film (sometimes more fun, RAEES! You were not a fun experience at all! Good movie, not fun).
Phurr Video Out! So, that Whole “Paywall” Thing Was Really Nothing
Yesterday I put out a kind of no news-news discussion post about why “Phurr” was having a limited pay only release, and why this wasn’t actually “news” it was just the first officially promoted version of something that had been happening in a low key way for a while. And now that is even more true because, poof! Youtube video!
Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, I HOPE it is Like This!
Only 2 (1?) days left! And finally, the movie that was my first thought when I saw the trailer, Pyaar to Hona Hi Tha. Which is very very hard to find and watch (thank you HotStar India and your obsession with copyright and streaming locations!), so forgive me if I miss-remember anything.
Phurr Promotions and Xeno’s Paradox (I Went on Twitter Again and it Scared Me)
I feel like I have used this example before, but I can’t remember what for. Anyway, the new song from Jab Harry Met Sejal is (supposedly) coming ever closer to us. And yet I find myself thinking, “will it ever actually arrive? Or is this a Xeno’s paradox situation?” (and also, once again, I should not go on twitter!)
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! Shahrukh and Anushka Over 3 Films (so far)
Happy 3 (or 2?) days until Jab Harry Met Sejal! It’s getting so close! And I really really hope it is even closer, not because I want to watch it 24 hours sooner, but because if it comes out Thursday that means I don’t have to write the review Friday night which means I might actually be able to get some sleep Friday night before I get up at dawn the next day to help my parents host 26 people. Although, I had a similar problem with the last Anushka/Shahrukh release and that turned out to be a MASSIVE disappointment, so maybe I shouldn’t worry so much. But on the other hand, their first movie together I loved. So it’s a mixed bag.
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! Patiala House, Anushka Wakes Up a Sad Man
Happy 4 (or 3? Please please?) days until the Jab Harry Met Sejal release! Time to talk about another film that I think might make an interesting background watch, Patiala House! Plus, I just love Patiala House and think more people should watch it.
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! Chaahat, Shahrukh the Gigolo
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal calendar week! Only 5 more days (or 4, please please please release a day early in the US! It will make my life SO MUCH EASIER!). I did a very comprehensive discussion of Imtiaz’s filmography yesterday, so today an easy small post, on Chaahat and Shahrukh as the hired lover type.
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! The Uniqueness of an Imtiaz Ali Romance
I love Imtiaz Ali romances, because he does something really interesting with changing what we think of as “romance”. I sometimes hate Imtiaz Ali romances because it feels like he gets caught up in what he finds interesting and loses track of the basic definition of romance. You know, that it usually involves two people, not just one.
TGIF: Feet First! Inspired by Jab Harry Met Sejal
So, we’ve all watched “Hawaaiyan” a million times now, right? And we’ve all gotten into the footplay thing in the middle? Or is that just me? In order to celebrate our new shared foot fetish, let’s look at a whole bunch of bare foot photos.
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! An Introduction To How This Works, and the Film Classic JHMS Reminds Me Of
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal Week! I always get a scattering of complaints when I do theme weeks like this. Which might be my fault, because I don’t make it clear why I am doing this and what it really is (not just fangirling over a new big release). And I know I have a lot of new readers now, so I am going to quickly explain why there is this thusness before moving on in the post.
New Jab Harry Met Sejal Song, Hawayein!!!! All With the Longing Gazes and Loving Care
Well, now Shahrukh is just super super mad at me. Could he tell I’ve been cheating on him with Nivin Pauly and Madhavan? Anyway, he not only posted this without subtitles, he posted it at the exact moment I was leaving for work, meaning I couldn’t watch it until just now. If he had posted it as little as 15 minutes earlier, I would have been all set! See, clearly jealous and hurt. I’m sorry Shahrukh! I will never stray again!
Full Jab Harry Met Sejal Trailer! No Subtitles, Shahrukh Is Mad At Me Again
Mad at me, but still willing to help, having sensed that my blog views were way way down over the past few days, he provided me with content. See, even when we are in a fight, he still cares.
