Review: Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

It’s been a while since I saw a solid, sumptuous ‘hindi picture’ — the kind that makes you whistle in the seats, out-sing the sound system, and dance in the aisles. I walked into Rocky Aur Rani kii Prem Kahaani expecting anything but that, since the promos had convinced me that Karan Johar had taken a sharp left into the David Dhawan school of filmmaking. Much to my surprise, the film delivered on all those characteristics, and delivered something even those ‘hindi pictures’ rarely do - it was up to date. It’s always interesting to see a filmmaker take a look back his(or her) own filmography, and see what they felt they need to change; Sooraj Barjatya had done it with Uunchai just last year, and failed miserably. Unfortunately, more often than not, this relook starts off with great gumption and falls prey to habit somewhere along the way. We are all victims of habit, hoping to transform into better, more mature, more self aware people. Johar uses this transformation as a narrative trope in this film, and maneuvers it with a lightness of touch that hints at his own self awareness. He challenges a lot of the problems his earlier films had(fatphobia, misogyny, homophobia). A replay of the “keh diya na, bas keh diya” quip from K3G had me and several others in my audi wolf-whistling. Through the film, we see transformations — characters explaining their mistakes, promising to reform, and changing into better people. In his older films, this transformation was spurred on by astronomical difficulty - in K3G, Shah Rukh Khan had go into a ten-year-log exile before Amitabh Bachchan would ask a for forgiveness with fairly gaslight-ey undercurrents; in My Name is Khan, it took a hurricane for Kajol to realise her love for Shah Rukh Khan and apologise. But though delayed, those transformations were always instant. Here, it’s simple - a monologue may unveil hidden reservoirs of confidence in characters, but they undergo full arcs before they can express themselves freely, making transformations seem neither arbitrary or abrupt. Beware though, because by the time Rani delivers speech number eight(I counted) to a character about how they must break free of the patriarchy, I was ready to throw hands. The self-referencing is also turned into a narrative trope (you can spot a reference a minute). There are countless callbacks to old films and old songs - my favourites being a callback to Abhi Na Jao Chhodkar from Hum Dono, which left me as full of awe as when Pankaj Kapur had used it in Mausam; and a character announcing her freedom by singing Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai from Guide. It made me so happy that after years of self-referencing himself in films like I Hate Luv Storys, Shaandaar and Dostana, Karan Johar has learnt the difference between winking and wanking at us. The references serve a purpose beyond pure nostalgia. The older ones invoke a softer, more romantic time, without dating the film. Even the newer, more light-hearted references serve a purpose - the use of Aaja Meri Gaadi Mein Baith Ja adds to Rocky’s West Delhi/Greater Gurgaon persona. I found myself chuckling at the use of Meri Pyaari Bindu from Padosan in the Namit Das track. The only reference they could have done without was the use of Suno Suno Miss Chatterjee in a romantic moment which needed more softness, and less foot-tapping. This invoking of the past is reflected in the writing as well - the characters don’t converse with each other. they speak in dialogue. Characters say things like “Nazar kharab aapki aur pardah kare hum?” and “Aapne mujhe sanskaar nahin diye, ahankar diya hai”. They have so much swagger, you can taste them. The showdowns in the film are satisfyingly melodramatic, and one would expect no less - characters are engaged in such over-the-top conflict that the skies thunder in disapproval. Unfortunately though, the same drama was missing in the songs. Tum Kya Mile and Ve Kamleya are beautiful melodies(even if terrifyingly banal in their arrangement), but Dhindora Baaje Re, which plays out as a pivot for the story just pre-climax was upsettingly underwhelming and insipid. It may not have worked in Pritam’s favour that we hear his music in the same sitting as some of the most memorable tunes from Hindi films. As for the performances, they were just outstanding - Ranveer and Alia both pull off two very difficult things - Ranveer plays an outlandish, uncouth, near repulsive character while endearing us to him, and Alia shows us both her condescention/amusement at Rocky and her endearment to him. I think Ranveer will get more praise for his character - it’s the kind of character that shouts out at you to tell you how well the actor is acting, but Alia does a better job — Rani is put in situations which call for ‘dialoguebaazi’ but nothing seems contrived or put-on. I was particularly impressed by a scene where she comes up with a solution for a problem in Rocky’s family business, but does so without the magic-wand waving of a Hrishikesh Mukherjee character. Instead, she plays the line with an undercurrent of surprise - as though she came upon the answer by accident. As for the million dollar question - do the leads share chemistry? The answer is a resounding YES. They share chemistry, and more importantly, comfort. It’s not the electric kind(like SRK-Kajol in all those other KJo films or Ranbir-Anuska in Ae Dil). Alia and Ranveer just fit. They share an easy comfort with each other, and we understand that they are meant to be with each other, because they make each other happy, and sometimes, it’s just that simple. The supporting cast is also stellar - Shabana Azmi, Tota Roy Chaudhury, Churni Ganguly, Aamir Bashir, Kshitee Jog and Anjali Anand are such fun. I did, however want to check on Dharmendra, who seemed like the light was going to go out of his eyes any minute. Jaya Bachchan seemed to be borrowing her mannerisms from Chacha Choudhary comics and Amrish Puri, trembling in anger and staring into the distance while delivering heavy duty dialogues. The film does justify this bigness and melodrama to a great extent though. There are no normal locations, normal clothes and normal people in this world, only magic. Johar’s idea of a chandni chowk akhara is laughable, but the colours are so vibrant and the lights so bright that you go along for the ride. Why complain about the lack of realism when you are being treated to some of the most beautiful people and places on film? There are enough things to complain about - the bengali family was annoyingly free of fault(something I’m sure all the Bhadralok had no problem with); I found the Shabana-Dharmendra track unconvincing and problematic, even though it was charming; and the Dhindora Baaje Re sequence was a bit too flashy for my liking - but all in all, Rocky Aur Rani is the best thing I did with three hours in my day, and I left the cinema hall with my heartbeat thudding in my ears, my soul nourished and my love for hindi cinema replenished.

Honestly, I can’t even imagine anyone else play the role except Kajol. The actress was Juhi Chawla! At least that’s what IMDb wants us to believe.

#Kuch kuch hota hai memes

[sneezypeasy]

All right, this should be my last Zutara post for a bit (need to stop getting distracted and get this next video out) - but this video gives me real Zutara (and also to some extent, Zutara fandom) vibes lmao

Okay, some context is probably necessary. To those of you who have only a passing familiarity with Bollywood/Bollywood celebrity drama/etc, here’s a quick history lesson to get you up to speed. The two actors who appear/dance together in that little clip are Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Kajol, affectionately dubbed “the golden pair” or “the golden couple” of Bollywood.

^ SRK and Kajol in My Name is Khan (2010).

Prior to that scene you see in the vid, they’d made about half a dozen movies together and each one was a blockbuster hit. SRK is like the Leo di Caprio of Bollywood (probably even bigger tbh), and has naturally appeared in dozens of films with other actresses but the vast majority of audiences perceived him to have the strongest chemistry with Kajol. In fact, their chemistry was so strong that many audiences were convinced it “had to be real” - that there was no way there wasn’t genuine attraction between them.

To my understanding, SRK and Kajol are both married (to other people), and they are good friends in real life, but that didn’t stop people from “shipping” them (real people shipping, I think that’s a thing? anyway).

It got to the point where Kajol’s husband was allegedly jealous/uncomfortable with it all, and got Kajol to stop appearing in films with SRK. I’m not sure how true this is, but they did stop making movies together for almost 10 years. (after having made 4 or 5 movies together in the previous decade).

Enter Om Shanti Om - a Bollywood movie that came out in 2007, around the middle of this Golden Couple drought, starring SRK and another actress as the female lead, Deepika Padukone. It’s a good fun romp that manages to weave murder and reincarnation into a mostly light-hearted romance-comedy-drama. But that’s not the point - the point is that in the middle of the movie, there’s a big Bollywood dance number (of course there is), and this one is something special because just about every big Bollywood celeb makes a cameo entrance in this scene.

It’s like the Marvel crossover movie of Bollywood. The Ellen oscar selfie of Bollywood. This one dance scene featured over 30 Bollywood stars, and probably cost the producers half of their 350 million budget on the film (I’m shit-talking rn, I have no idea how much that scene really cost but I do know it was a lot). SRK dances with a dozen or more different ladies, ones he’d starred with in previous films, and if my understanding is correct, the moves they dance to are moves that had been iconic in the films they’d made together. It’s a cute concept and one that immediately gave the film a lot of clout and helped boost its success.

And for the first time in years, Kajol makes a (rather dramatic) appearance in a scene with SRK.

I was introduced to this movie (and Bollywood in general) in high school by my best friend at the time, and I remember her excitedly filling me in on all this backstory so that when I watched this scene I could fully appreciate the dramatic and long-awaited, if incredibly short, on-screen reunion of the Golden Couple. I remember her playing back those 10 seconds or so over and over again, telling me “Look! Just look at the way he looks at her - all those other girls he danced with, he looked at none of them that way. It has to be real!”

I didn’t know the right words at the time, but I think back then I registered this as shipbaiting - I could just imagine the directors telling the two actors that this one little snippet was going to be special, they were going to make it stand out, because it’s what the viewers wanted.

And I mean, it worked:

Watching this little clip, while I personally don’t “ship” the golden couple, I can’t deny their chemistry and I can definitely understand the hype. It’s also really easy for me to headcanon like a modern AU Zuko and Katara reuniting in a similar way. And while I’m not an SRK/Kajol shipper, I do agree that Kajol’s introduction and the way SRK approaches her is framed very differently to all the other ladies, and there’s something undeniably bittersweet and Zutara-esque about that. Mostly, I see similarities in the way that a dynamic was so explosive/powerful, that someone saw it as a threat (or so the story goes), and their interactions were then limited to tiny crumbs spaced far apart, yet even these crumbs were enough to keep fandom invested and enraptured, lol.

Anyway, that’s my long winded silly rant done for today. Off to write/finish my next vid. XD

#zutara #the golden couple #shipping #shipbaiting #parallels #parallels everywhere

[nobodycallsmerae]

I recalling reading that once you said you used to watch Bollywood movies, so your favourite Bollywood couple?

My favorite Bollywood couple:

I'm sorry, I had to do it 😂😂 But seriously, I don't ship people irl, but if you're talking about on-screen couple, then, honestly if you think about it, everyone's been with everyoneat this point lol..but, I think I would say Govinda/Karishma Kapoor if I had to choose.. just because of Govinda's comedy tbh.. And how can I forget Shah Rukh Khan/Kajol... both of them are legendary 🤩🤩🤩 And for the record, I still watch Bollywood movies... 🙃...

The Bluff

Not all couples’ first kisses are romantic. Tandreth brags. Idunn makes a dare.

Another night in Windhelm. Another night spent in Candlehearth Hall, another scowl of Elda’s at the sight of Tandreth waltzing in behind Idunn, and another night of choking down mead in a vain attempt at drowning out whatever bard kajoled their way into a performance that evening.

Idunn sat staring at the flames, still struck by how those borne from dragontongue seemed so different.

“You know, I’m starting to think you’re allergic to fun.” Tandreth mused from the seat across from her, twirling his wine in his goblet. “Tonight’s bard is actually good, you know.”

She dragged her attention away from the fire to catch a few stanzas from the night’s entertainment - a man with a suitable enough voice singing of his willingness to lay his life on the line for a single kiss from a beautiful woman. Idunn frowned.

“I don’t understand it.” she muttered.

“Music? You seem to sing well enough when you bathe, rare as it is.”

Idunn cast him an exasperated look, only causing his grin to widen. She should have known better than to fall for his barbs - they’d been travelling together for long enough. “Not that. There’s so many songs about doing all sorts of things for a kiss, or a bedding. I don’t understand it.”

The subject seemed to draw Tandreth’s interest properly, his ruby eyes glinting in the firelight as he leaned forward just a fraction in his chair. Idunn supposed she should have known as much - matters of the bed always seemed to interest him. It was his favorite topic to annoy her with. “Have you ever bedded anyone? Kissed anyone?”

“Of course.” Idunn murmured in reply.

Tandreth raised a brow. “Did you like it?”

“It was fine.” She kept her answers clipped, unwilling to offer Tandreth any ammo to tease her with.

He studied her - she expected his expression to be a pitying one, but his curiosity hadn’t dissipated. “You know, plenty of people don’t like it all. The bedding, and the kissing. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t.”

“It was fine.” Idunn repeated. “Good, even. But nothing I’d do anything drastic for. I’m puzzled that people pay for it.”

Now playfulness returned to his expression, and she braced herself. “Let me guess.” he began. “You’ve had romps with a few Nord farmboys. Or farmgirls.”

“A stableboy.” she clarified begrudgingly, not sure why she even bothered. Perhaps it was the mead.

“Just the one?”

Idunn took a swig of her drink. “Is there anything wrong with that?” she asked defensively.

“Not at all, but I think I know why you don’t understand.” Tandreth grinned at her, though not maliciously. “Nord men are fine enough, but they have a niche - usually best for pushing you up against the wall and holding you aloft, not so much for matters requiring dexterity. Unless you find the rare -”

There wasn’t enough mead in the world. “I don’t want to hear your fantasies or exploits, Tandreth.”

He raised his hand in surrender and leaned back in his chair. “I’m just saying - a single stablehand isn’t likely to give you anything to long for. It takes life experience.”

Idunn squinted at him. “Does it, now.”

“For someone like you, yes.” Tandreth said confidently. “Everyone’s different in their own way, but you start to see patterns.”

“Kyne preserve us.” she huffed, seeing her tankard was empty. Idunn set it on the table next to her in resignation. “Let me guess - you’ve given a great many kisses people would brave a troll for.”

“It’s one of my many talents.” Tandreth replied, taking a sip of his wine.

“I don’t believe you.”

He nearly spit out his drink. “You have eyes.” Tandreth spluttered. “You’ve seen me take enough people to bed.”

“I don’t doubt that you have experience.” Idunn replied neatly. “But you talk about it far too much. I’m sure everyone involved has a lovely time. Just that. Lovely. No one’s written songs about your exploits.”

“I do have some dignity, you know.” Tandreth was beginning to sound annoyed, and Idunn was pleased the shoe was on the other foot for once. “Many of my lovers value their privacy. As do I. Believe me - if I wanted there to be songs, there would be.”

Perhaps it was the mead, or perhaps it was her temper, but Idunn’s next words were enough to render Tandreth momentarily speechless. “Then prove it.”

The gap of silence was wonderful, the few moments it lasted. “Excuse me?” he finally said, eyes wide with surprise.

Idunn tapped the side of her mouth. “Right here. Prove it.”

“Have you listened to anything I said?” Tandreth replied, making a smooth recovery. “You need work. Like a wall. A big, stubborn wall. A kiss in bloody Windhelm of all places isn’t going to change your mind, however good it is or handsome the one gifting it to you.” He looked her up and down with a slight frown. “Besides, you’ve been drinking.”

“Then what, exactly, would change my mind?”

“Telling you would make you look for it. Ruins the entire thing. Not that I intend on making an attempt.”

Idunn scoffed. “Just admit I’m right.”

A dare was something she was fast learning Tandreth couldn’t resist. “Alright, listen.” He set his goblet down. “If in the morning you’re not dead from a hangover, I’ll ask you if you really want me to prove you wrong. If that’s the case, give me time, and I’ll do my best with my limited resources. I do enjoy a challenge.”

“You find the best ways to insult me.” she murmured, feeling heat rise to her cheeks. 

“If you think I’m mocking your looks, you really are blind.” Tandreth huffed in return. “I’ll tell you why it’s a challenge when I succeed. Now, let’s return to our usual pastime of critiquing the music and planning Elda’s untimely demise, shall we?”

Something fluttered in her stomach, and Idunn was annoyed to realize it wasn’t the mead.

--

It was Tandreth who was hungover in the morning, but he still had the wherewithal to ask her if she still wanted him to prove her wrong. Whatever foolishness had struck her the night before still lingered, for she said yes.

For the first week she was on her guard. All along the road to Whiterun she was suspicious of him, but Tandreth acted no differently - he was as obstinate and playful as ever, continually finding ways to annoy her. After a fortnight they were back in Windhelm, and Idunn suspected he’d changed his mind or forgotten.

What had once fluttered in her stomach now twisted. It wasn’t unexpected, it wouldn’t make him abnormal. In her experience many men liked the idea of a Nord shieldmaiden in their bed, but the reality cowed them. Idunn’s twice broken nose and gap in her teeth did her face no favors.

The foolishness was pushed away by the time they set off on the road to Riften, and by the time they reached Darkwater Crossing a month had passed and the event was forgotten to Idunn in all but the few nights sleep did not claim her and her life’s embarrassments played themselves out in her mind.

They’d made camp not far from the settlement, the roar of the falls a distant constant. Twilight settled over the landscape, and Idunn busied herself fishing from the river. Tandreth was tending the fire - the one duty he seemed to enjoy and thus the one she didn’t have to bother him to do.

Not that she’d had to do much bothering as of late - he’d spent the past few days being relatively helpful. She assumed it was their proximity to the Rift - he always seemed to be in higher spirits the further south they were in the province.

“Aren’t you sore?” His voice called from somewhere behind her, shaking her from her thoughts.

Idunn rolled her shoulders - she had to admit there was a tightness in her back, one that had begun long ago and never quite gone away. “A little. Nothing to worry about.”

A beat of silence. When he spoke again, his voice was much closer. “Nonsense.” Idunn tried not to startle - she should have been used to how silent his footsteps were. “You sit like someone’s pulling on a string of yours.”

It drew a sigh from her. “You’re going to scare the fish.”

Tandreth made enough noise that she knew he sat behind her. “Then I’ll be quiet, but please. Let me help. This sort of thing’s bad for a warrior, you know.”

Idunn had to admit he was right. Tense muscles made for inflexibility in combat, could lead to snapped tendons or worse. Still, when she felt Tandreth’s hands settle on her shoulders she flinched - and his touch disappeared as soon as it was given.

“I’m sorry.” he said, more gently than she expected.

“It’s fine.” she exhaled, embarrassed at her own reaction. “I’m just… not used to it. Warn me. Count from three, or something.”

To her surprise he didn’t mock her for it. “One, two… three.” 

When his hands settled on her next she did not flinch, and they spent the next several minutes in silence - Tandreth’s practiced touch kneading the knots out of her back. Idunn eventually set her fishing pole aside and settled for watching the watercolor sky’s reflection in the riverwater, feeling the tension ebb from her body.

“You know, I’ve noticed a few things about you.” Tandreth was first to break the silence, as he always was. “Not the least of which is that you hate to ask for help.”

“I think I badger you enough.” she muttered.

“That’s commanding me to do basic chores.” he replied, working down along the sides of her spine with the heel of his hand. “I mean things like this. When you’re injured, or tired, or sore. Matters that are all your own, when you have to admit you need a hand.”

Idunn shrugged, thankful he was sat behind her and couldn’t see her brow furrow with momentary pain. “Kyne gifted me with strength. It’s foolish and selfish to ask for that of others when I have plenty of my own.” 

Tandreth chuckled from behind her, his thumbs working the small of her back. It felt as if her limbs had turned to water, a thankful hum sounding in her throat. “You know.” he began, an unfamiliar note of seriousness to his tone. “Even heroes are mortal. Gods blessed you might be, but it doesn’t make you one.”

“Does this mean you’ll clean up camp more?”

It was his turn to sigh. “Idunn. I mean it.” His hands dropped from her, and she found that she missed their absence. To her relief, he stood and sat at her side at the edge of the river, letting his legs dangle over the rocky ledge she had seated herself on. Unlike her, his legs were too short for his toes to reach the water.

“You sound like you’ve done this before.” Idunn mused, looking at him - his expression was thoughtful and far away, attention fixed on the stars bright enough to be the first visible in the darkening sky.

Tandreth turned to face her, a softness in his gaze she hadn’t seen before. All at once she realized just how close he was, looking up at her face thoughtfully. “I’ve read enough history books and fairy tales. I don’t like how many stories end once the enemy is defeated. Too many heroes die - whether in body or in knowledge.” He smiled gently. “Besides. You’re one of the good ones. It’d be a shame for a bastard like myself to keep going without someone to balance me out, no?”

“You’re not a bastard.” Idunn replied, her mouth suddenly dry. Compliments weren’t something she was used to - nor anyone thinking of her beyond how her weapon could be of service, or how destiny had arranged her fate. Truth be told, she hadn’t given any thought as to after - but looking at Tandreth, a small part of her began to wonder. 

There was a falter in his smile, and Idunn found herself leaning forward ever so slightly, wanting to fix it. “That’s the sweetest thing I’ve heard in an age.” he replied, barely above a whisper.

Idunn wasn’t certain who made contact first - she or him - but soon his fingers were woven into her hair, his lips gentle on hers. She was clumsy, unpracticed - but Tandreth seemed to anticipate her movements, turning his head so her teeth wouldn’t hit his, not seeming to mind the awkward noise in her throat. Something about him was pulling her forward, something about him felt safe, and it took a moment for her to realize that it was Tandreth - infuriating, arrogant, silver-tongued Tandreth - who was kissing her as if she was the most precious thing in the world. And she was kissing him back.

She inhaled sharply the moment she remembered where she was, who he was - her eyes snapping open to see his half-open and heavily lidded. Tandreth pulled away the moment her gaze met his, and in spite of herself Idunn found herself leaning forward a little as if to chase his lips.

There was another moment of silence, her heart racing in spite of itself and him looking slightly dazed. Idunn caught the briefest glimpse of fear in his eyes before his lazy trademark smirk returned.

“I’ll tell you the secret to it, now that I’ve got you.” he said, looking incredibly pleased with himself - and Idunn was slow to connect the dots.

“Got me?” Idunn asked incredulously.

“You didn’t want me to stop.” Tandreth gestured at her - still leaning slightly forward - and Idunn immediately corrected her posture. “I’ll hold up my end of the deal. You, dragonborn, need to be kissed by someone who cares.”

Heat rose to her cheeks, and she was tempted to throw herself into the river. The dare. Of course. “So that’s why it was a challenge.”

“No, that part’s the simple one. If you’d let me finish.” he continued. “The tricky part is, I think, that you need to care quite a bit yourself. You’re a suspicious creature for someone so trusting, you know.”

Idunn rubbed at her eyes, horrified at how he’d managed to make her care - but he hadn’t, really - she couldn’t forget the odd fluttering of eagerness she felt back in Windhelm.  She’d done his work for him before he’d even begun. “You’re a marvelous liar, you know that?”

“Nothing I said was a lie.” Tandreth replied. “Just candid. You having any care for me beyond your own soft heart is a fool’s errand, I think.” His smile when he looked at her was genuine. “I’m glad you don’t think I’m a bastard, even if you’re wrong. I’m sorry if I went too far - I’ve likely changed your mind.”

“I dared you in the first place.” Idunn said dismissively. “Besides, I learned I’m right.”

Tandreth stared at her. “About what?”

“You’re good, but not that good. Nothing to write a song about.”

Tandreth began to bluster - but before he could get a full sentence out she placed a hand to his back and gave him a rough shove. The splash he made in the river was all too satisfying.

As they sat across from each other by the fire several minutes later - she eating grilled fish, and he wrapped in furs with chattering teeth, both realized a different kind of bluff had been called.

kajol confessing their "love" to shikha.

shikha. i just don't understand. don't understand why... i feel this way? for you. the last person i'd ever consider being with! so, what the fuck? i can't love you. that's absurd. i can't, i don't even like you一 you've gotta tell me why i feel this way, shikha. this is your fault after all. just look at yourself... you're not whom i'm meant to be with. to be honest, i'm not meant to be with anyone! let alone some vampire. you've got guts, i'll give you that. i'm pouring my heart out to you, or what should be a heart. yet you're laughing? shikha, you're crazy. probably crazier than me. because like, yeah. maybe i'm in love with一 you. maybe, i want to be with you. till the end, till out last breaths. to the point where even my corrupt heart which has taken advantage of every part of you, wants you. but... shikha. can't you see? *laughs*

i'm bad. i'm no good for someone like you. someone who loves the way i treat you, like you're nothing. darling, we'll fall in love. we'll journey to places together and intertwine our fingers while doing so. we'll exchange hushed whispers to one another that hold no meaning, but we'll still giggle at them. why? because it'll be just between us一 you and me. and if you want, we can grow old together. i can buy you silly bouquets or whatever. they'll be your favourite colour. if that's not good enough for you, not up to your standards? i'll grow a whole garden for you... i would, truly. shikha. you just don't understand. can't you see? i'm a hypocrite. i一 it's funny, really. i can't even tell if these tears are for you, or for me.

i've broken down your oh, so fragile walls. i welcomed myself in and made myself at home. you gave me your all, darling. everything you had to offer. and what'd i do? what i do best! i played you, obviously. i'm a piece of shit and that's like, the sexiest thing about me. that's why you're so obsessed with me, isn't it? that's why you're so fucking crazy. you're crazy for me and my love, the type of love that shouldn't even be meddled with. the type of love that shouldn't even be classified as such. but you don't care, huh? you never did. and to be frank, that's the part i love most about you.

it's the part i can't help but take advantage of! regardless of what i say or do. regardless of whom i hurt for you. it won't matter. none of it will. sure, you'll be furious with me. cute. yeah, and you won't speak to me to me for a few days, cooped up in your fancy castle. you'll probably drink your fancy wine, too. but before you know it, you'll be back by my side. making up for all the time you wasted isolating yourself from me.

you know what? you aren't crazy, shikha. no, no. how could i say such a thing? crazy? far from it. you're just downright stupid, darling. it's laughable. but if you're stupid, what does that make me?

#enemies to lovers #ocs #more like #toxic lovers

[anthropologicalhands]

It makes me sad that Dilwale wasn’t apparently very well liked when it first came out, because it is like...ridiculously fun and awesome? Like SO MUCH FUN!

it is a movie that knows EXACTLY WHAT IT IS, and that is glossy, fun,  romantic, and ridiculous

look Veer’s introduction is drifting a souped-up car around a statue of jesus, looking totally fuckboi-esque, and CROSSING HIMSELF IN SLOW MOTION

that pretty much sets the tone for most of the movie - pretty, extra, and absurd

now, caveat: I don’t speak Hindi, so it’s entirely possible that the dialogue is genuinely bad so I can’t tell. But the delivery sounds in earnest so it’s still fun

and beneath the fun and ridiculousness is a beating heart, with both Kaali+Veer’s parental sibling relationship and Kaali+Meera’s love story

Like…one of my favorite parts about the movie is how Kaali and Meera have this intense and painful backstory, but the new world and lives they’ve built for themselves are so bright and beautiful and colorful. So when they (inevitably) reconcile, you know that they are going to have a good life together.

Surrounded by idiots, yes, but I think they would like that!

Also I wish I could find a color theory post about this movie because they are gorgeous and there is this specific shade of dark blue that keeps showing up at dramatic moments.

*MOVIE SPOILERS, IF ANYBODY CARES*

Admittedly, whatever town they’re in (I think it’s somewhere in Goa) is insanely gorgeous and must have something in the water because nearly all of those residents are in possession of ONE BRAINCELL! Minus Kaali, who clearly drinks filtered water, as does Meera. They have kept their braincells. 

Shakti and Anwar, Kaali’s best friends, are touch and go – sometimes they have the brain cell, sometimes they don’t

SO KAALI AND MEERA’S BACKSTORY IS BATSHIT -- THEY WERE THE RIGHT HANDS OF THEIR MAFIA-ESQUE PARENTS BACK IN BULGARIA. 

They met because he hit her with his car! (because she was trying to take him out)

He falls in love at first sight. She plays civilian for a bit, lets him try to charm her, falls in love with him and takes a little time to figure it out (after realizing she can’t kill him and having to pass it off as a whim, rather than a symptom of *an emotion*)

They try to set up a marriage, her father sets up a meeting to kill them instead without telling his daughter, both fathers die, Meera is fed false information that they were betrayed and, as she promised Kaali not long after they got together, she shoots him in the heart for his betrayal.

But only once! If she reaaaallly wanted him dead, it would have been in the head! (my addition – not stated in the movie proper)

They then spend the next 15 years raising their much younger siblings (brother and sister respectively, of course) and turning respectable themselves. Kaali has established a garage for modifying fancy cars and we don’t know what Meera did before she moved to Goa, but now she is in the process of opening a restaurant. 

Kaali is even going by a new name: Raj

They do not want their baby siblings to know about their criminal pasts, so they very much do not tell their siblings about it.

But anyways, Veer and Ishita  are two sweet-natured, pretty kids who meet and take a liking to each other, and them liking each other enough to want to get married kicks off the ACTUAL ROMANTIC PLOT OF THE MOVIE, AKA KAALI AND MEERA AKA SRK AND KAJOL

They meet again because their much-younger siblings want to get married, and Meera, still under the impression that Kaali killed her father and betrayed her trust, IS NOT FOR IT

So baby siblings, using their one braincell, try to figure out what happened, because obviously their siblings must know each other, why else object to the marriage?

To get info, Veer bugs his brother’s two best friends, who were also in Bulgaria with Kaali at the time

the best friends were ordered by Kaali not to talk about his criminal past, but they are weak to Veer’s puppy eyes and they proceed to come up with this BATSHIT VERSION of Kaali and Meera’s past that is EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS than their actual past. Including fake names: Ramlal and Pogo.

Veer is Overwhelmed By Emotions

Kaali is Not Amused upon being confronted by this undignified backstory, but his friends defend themselves by pointing out that a) they can’t just outright lie and say they don’t know, because that would be even more improbable and b) it does remove the criminal element

They seem to be together? not totally clear but they act like a married couple so I’m down.

Their explanation when the boys come back to suspiciously ask why THEY never married is to say: We didn’t want to be fathers!

(reasonable, given that veer + sid together are clearly a handful)

So baby siblings, who have the details totally wrong but the basic gist what happened, decide that the easiest way to stay together is to get their older siblings to FALL BACK IN LOVE, obviously, because neither have remarried since their affair, so they must have unresolved feelings!

(this is not wrong, but still the leap ain’t logical)

cue wacky hijinks from the kids and intense, UST-laden scenes and songs between Meera and Kaali, who have enough chemistry to burn the town down

(They snarl at each other, choke each other in the ruins and are extremely conscious of each other’s personal space and are clearly two inches from falling into each other at any given moment IT’S SO GREAT)

AND THERE IS KING, THE WANNABE DRUG KINGPIN - seriously, like he is trying SO HARD to be the A-plot - flamboyant, scarily intimidating guy taking over this seaside town with one liners and pop culture references. BUT HE’S NOT. 

LIKE, HE’S JUST A NUISANCE TO THE OTHER CHARACTERS WITH THEIR INTENSE UST/TRYING TO UNRESOLVE TENSION SO THEY CAN GET MARRIED

I guess I get it if people don’t like the humor,  because the tone shifts can be pretty abrupt, but still, it’s a rollicking good time

And there are a few scenes it blatantly steals from other movies? only one I recognized was the Love Actually cards, and tbh I don’t really care - I didn’t get distracted or confused by references I didn’t get, so I’m fine by it

All right, there is also the DDLJ line at the very end, but it fits for me! because Kaali is playing off the fact that his ‘going straight’ name is Raj and he’ll always be her Raj, meaning that there isn’t anything he won’t do for her. I kinda liked it.

Things I actually didn’t like:

I wish Ishita had more character. She has some moments, but not nearly as much time is spent on her as there is on Veer

the dialogue bits that basically served as PSAs for drugs - we know they are bad! no need to keep saying it

Siddhu’s plot could have been better if jenny had a voice during his ‘it’s hard to date’ rant. cause like, dude, she didn’t ask you to spend money on her

Less didn’t like and more ‘I want more Kajol’ - it would have been nice to see a little more of how Meera went straight and what prompted her move down from Bangalore to Goa

#dilwale #bollywood #ellie rambles #i didn't even get into the SONGS man #it's seriously a shame that there isn't really any fic

Nicknames: lol, I mean, my fake internet name is basically a nickname, also “C”, all the broski, brosauce, etc variations me and my bestie use, speaking of, could also consider Elsa a nickname, or Cristina, because we are stone cold adults to refer to each other as our respective personality double in favourite duos (Elsa and Anna, and Meredith and Cristina) - yeah, we know we are fucking lame. My sister calls me “Titly”, which means butterfly, you may now also refer to me as Your Majesty, because I bought Elsa’s crown as a birthday gift for myself and gave myself a coronation, thereby legally making me Arendelle’s Queen. This is how it works now right? Declaring something online immediately makes it true. 

Real name: Clara, lol, it’s not, it’s just what I’ve been using online for nearly a decade or so now, so what’s the point? But my real middle name is “Taika”, which is a name I share with Taika Waititi, which is cool. 

Zodiac: Scorpio 

Favourite Musicians / Band: Taylor Swift, Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, Anime OST (deep into Code Geass and Bleash OST atm, god they were iconic), OST in general, KAZKA (thank you again so much @pulltheskydown for introducing me to her), Alma, Amir, Rihanna, Polina Gagarina, been in a Britney mood the last few weeks. Idk, I just have music I like, and music I don’t like, and some people I am very thirsty for. Also, also, literally any song from any Shahrukh Khan movie. I always was, still am, and always will be, one of those SRK loving bitches. The man is ICONIC. 

Do I get asks?: Once in a blue moon. 

Favourite sports team: I support the national teams ‘cause Go Canada Go or whatever. Also more invested in the Raptors than I ever thought I’d be, but hey, them winning the NBA last year gave me more serotonin than I ever thought boring sports could give me. It’s still so boring, but I do follow the scores when they appear on CP24 (local news channel), feels good when your city’s teams win. Guess that means by default I also support the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs, but whatever. 

Other blogs: lol, you are talking to the Queen of Too Many blogs right here. My first ever main was @livesinabluebox (which has gone through a few url changes, namely melanin-monster and moonrxvenge, but it’s 2012 again so I switched back to my og url), I’m trying to clear out all my likes so I’m still posting there, but trying to move to my new main over @moonrxvenge. And I also have 600 million sideblogs for characters and roleplays and resources and whatever. I have so many that I need to keep a masterlist, and yes, it is HELLA out of date. (I still say hella)

Tumblr Crushes: meh, I never really befriended people on tumblr until much more recently, and like all those people are friends I made elsewhere, ie polyvore (I shy, tumblr scary and got far too many stupid peoples opinions). 

Obvs, shoutouts to my loves @kzombi3 / @thots4daze @themadmonarchist @celestialfairies @alittlebitluna @eternalsailorstar @ayzrules @themonsterslut @turquoisesiren @pulltheskydown 

some tumblr people who are v cool and maybe I say things or just do that whole “senpai notice me” lowkey stalking from my main, main: @queen-of-salt-and-fury @daenerys-targaryen  @salty-sailors-unite​ @wellstartled​ and loads of others I’m probably forgetting rn

Lucky numbers: as a kid I considered 7 and 13 lucky, also 735 or something like that for islam reasons I forgot, but I don’t have any now. I think it’s all bull. 

What am I wearing: blue pajamas. my shirt says “happy monday - said nobody ever”, it is thursday. 

Dream holiday: Russia and Japan are definitely my number ones, all the historical places like the Winter Palace and Himeji Castle, and the cities.

Dream car: Tesla, it was a blue Model S, but that was 5 years ago (4? 3? idk, a time ago) and I’m sure there are newer models now that I am too lazy look up

Favourite food: Macarons

Drink of choice: Tim Hortons Ice Coffee with a shot of caramel

Instruments: I technically played the flute for a year (maybe three) in middle school music class, but it was mandated and I don’t remember. I could play the beginning of To Love’s End from Inuyasha back then, but not now. I can play the main tune, like just the first few notes, of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’s main theme on the piano, but I just memorized the keys. Idk the actual notes. F or G or E I guess? Idk. 

Languages: English, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, technically French, but I didn’t really retain anything from it, like I can read French, but got little to no idea what I’m saying. Straight up surprised when I do understand. I think it’s in there, but barely. Also supposed to be able to speak Arabic, but retained less of that than French. 

Celebrity crushes: Chris Evans, Jenna Coleman, SRK (lol, since I was born probably), Kajol, Bruna Marquezine, Yuki Kimisawa, and loads of others. I’m a hoe for the fictional and the theoretical, what can I say?  

Random facts: Buying notebooks and using them are two entirely different hobbies, and, okay, this isn’t like interesting in the least but I am OBSESSING over the drama that went down between Salman Khan and Zayn over his cover of Allah Duhai Hai - yeah, I know I’m 2 years late to this, but whatever, no fucking told me about it and I can’t find any definitive information and I’m going crazy! Please, someone explain what happened 'cause I am dying!!! I need to know!! (also, salman fans don’t interact, vo kuni hai yaar, tu phagal hai kya?) 

I’ll tag: all of you lovelies  @kzombi3 / @thots4daze @themadmonarchist @celestialfairies @alittlebitluna @eternalsailorstar @ayzrules @themonsterslut @turquoisesiren @pulltheskydown @queen-of-salt-and-fury @daenerys-targaryen @salty-sailors-unite​​ @wellstartled​ + whoever else wants to do it (and ofc tag me and befriend me, I am but a thirsty ass hoe for friendship)

I just saw your post about Tina and Rahul and I totally agree that had Tina not died then Rahul would have spent the rest of his life happy w her. I actually find it so sad that Tina believed she came between them and when I rewatched I realised that after she asked that their kid be called Anjali she keeps saying 'im sorry' which isn't just her sorry for dying but also her guilt about Anjali from before which just hurtttt 1/2

So now that it's on Netflix again and even recently I've been seeing so many 'hot takes' that Rahul was a fuckboy who didn't date Anjali until she was more feminine but I don't get it??  how can ppl watch the movie &hate on Tina for 'coming between' R&A or even Rahul for ignoring Anjali when it's pretty clear that he honestly just NEVER had romantic feelings for Anjali. Like, Anjali loved him all those years but just because he didn't reciprocate until he met her again doesn't mean he was toxic?

okay last one I promise: I just love Tina and Rahul so much like they were so pure??? And ppl can criticise the whole making Anjali feminine in the second half when Rahul falls for her but that doesn't make him a bad person? esp since it's been YEARS since he saw her last so their dynamic is completely different anyway. Rahul firmly believed he'd NEVER move on from Tina& felt so GUILTY abt his feelings for Anjali that I don't blame him for being indecisive at the end/not doing a big declaration 

Hi!!! I’m always happy to talk with Tina fans xD She has so few of them and that’s not fair!

Well, by today standards, all 90s bollywood heroes are fuckboys lol. But I wouldn’t really call Rahul one. He never led Anjali on, she was his best friend and he was hers. Hell, even Anjali didn’t start seeing him that way until her aunt (or guardian, I don’t remember) made her realize her feelings for him.

In any case, that’s not on Tina. She liked Rahul, he clearly liked her back, and they fell in love. Anjali couldn’t handle that and she disappeared from Rahul’s life. Like, can you imagine waking up tomorrow and your best friend is just gone? No explanations, no goodbyes, just gone.

As for Anjali becoming more “feminine” and desirable ... well, that’s 90′s logic, sadly. I mean, people change, that’s true. But Anjali became a whole new person and I always found it ridiculous that she didn’t remember how to play basketball, as if she hadn’t been a freaking champion at college -.-”

If anything, Rahul fell for another Tina lmfao. And if you rewatch the movie, you’ll see that his reunion with Anjali wasn’t “love at first sight” or anything. It was a guy deliriously happy to see his best friend again. Then of course, what needed to happen between two characters portrayed by SrK and Kajol... happened.

I’d say that Rahul was a fuckboy not because he fell for Anjali, but because the guy deadass crashed a wedding without a care in the world for his own selfish desires.

In any case, no one will ever convince me that Tina wasn’t Rahul’s true love and that Anjali wasn’t a selfish brat.
