Movie Diary #1: Chalte Chalte

Okay so this movie is bad right? I'm looking on IMDb and it's sitting at a 6.5 and that feels too high. I love SRK and I'm sure it's getting an SRK bump, but still.

I'm fine with a bickering couple being cute, but Priya deserves better. Like there needs to be some ground rules with this ending. Raj Cannot drink. Period. Also he married into a wealthier family, so he's gotta learn to deal with that. She's clearly made herself okay with his friends/family and their meetcute was a classist interaction where she's being rude to him about what she perceives his profession to be. She came a long way, and he just doesn't seem to be making nearly the same effort to merge their lives. (But I get that that's maybe a view that's too Western)

Also, the money thing. I agree that Priya was in the wrong for this, but that never got ....resolved ...right? Ik the money wasn't really the Point, but Sameer is still sitting somewhere with an extra 2.5 million rupees. Honestly they're so bad at communicating that the secretary probably could have gotten away with just keeping it.

Like, is Raj Transportation okay? He had a bunch of employees, several of whom went to the airport to try to get Priya back. Are they just unemployed now?

Tl;Dr, I don't like Aunt Anna, but I agree with her full body eyeroll in the airport. The cute first act gave this a lil bump. 4/10
