Happy Monday! Everything is weird.

What a fun movie! I don’t totally love it as much as I totally love A Gentleman, but it is in the same family of humor. So I am going to take this moment, once again, to plug A Gentleman. If you like this movie, you will like that one! Oh, and you probably will like this movie. It is very likable.
Trailers! Loveratri and Aayush Sharma’s Tragic Facial Paralysis, Laila Majnu and Imtiaz Ali’s Little Brother, Stree and Shraddha (sigh)
