This is not a happy movie. But it is a good movie! I’m glad I can be a fan of someone who wasn’t afraid to make a sad good movie.

This is the most satisfying Shahrukh has made in the past 5 years. When people say “why does he have to be the hero?” or “why does he always do the same thing?”, this movie is the argument against that.

Happy Monday! I had to get up and out the door before 7am to move the goshdarn car. Next weekend I am tempted to have my parents pick me up and drive me back because it is just SUCH a hassle finding parking by them! Why do they have to live in such a hip happening cool city neighborhood?
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Dilwale Review! A New One!
This was the first big movie to come out after I started blogging, so I hadn’t really figured out how I was going to structure reviews or anything. Which means the existing reviews are fun, but kind of a confusing hodge podge. Time to do better!

Remember, Happy Place Rules! Which is really hard with this movie, so I almost decided to skip reposting this review. But that felt wrong, so I am reposting. But with a reminder of Happy Place Rules. So you can skip reading this to protect your Happy Place, and if you comment, you have to find an inspiring/cheerful take in order to protect all of us in our Happy Place.

Really, First Review. I did a combined thing of Don 1 and Don 2 and a little bit Don Original, but I never did a review specifically of the Don 1 film.
