When he said "I looked pretty" but Srk in Veer-Zaara said "Aisa toh nahi hai tha ki usse zyada khoobsurat ladki maine kabhi dekhi nahi thi. Par pata nahi kyun, uske chehre se meri nazar hat ti nahi thi".
I remember watching Devdas and being instantly mesmerized by your character. You were inspired by Meerabai, who committed her life to Lord Krishna, just like you did to Devdas. While everyone pitied Paro - who was forcibly married into an affluent aristocratic family, caged in the lavish mansion - far away from her childhood sweetheart, I was drawn further by your enchantingly melancholic persona - "ek tawaif jogan ban gayi" ( "a courtesan became a devotee"). For a girl who was used for her body all her life in the rangeen kothi (bustling brothel), you were strikingly tethered to your soul.
But when Devdas entered, all bondage of yours was demolished and you finally felt free, only for you to miserably realize that you were just a distraction for Devdas, who loved and shall only ever love Paro. Someone like you was never meant to be truly cared for, that's what they said, it's what Devdas made you feel too in the end, in his own intoxicatingly bittersweet way. You accepted it all nevertheless with a fiercely sweet smile, just like you always had. And you still loved Dev, perhaps you had understood that some things never turn out the way we want them to, but when has that ever stopped us from falling in love? Your only fault that you did so while having been born 'lowly'.
On one day like this, Paro confronted you. Instead of reaping jealousy, you regarded Paro as a kind of Goddess who had the privilege of being showered Devdas's affection, so you bent to touch Paro's feet in deference. And what did Paro do in return? Mock your circumstances and taunt you for coming close to Dev - before complying to befriend you, later on. You had dealt humiliation through your entire life but you chose to suffer the most by Dev's anguish - seeing your love ruined by his love.
Paro and Devdas were eternally each other's souls, but there was no one to make unsung Chandramukhi whole. Paro and Devdas may have ended in tragedy to make us all weep, but Chandramukhi lived her broken tale that our hearts were too heavy to keep...

अब न मुझको याद बीता
मैं तोह लम्हों में जीता
चला जा रहा हूँ
मैं कहाँ पे जा रहा हूँ...
कहाँ हूँ?
इस यक़ीन से मैं यहाँ हूँ
की ज़माना यह भला है
और जो राह में मिला है
थोड़ी दूर जो चला है
वह भी आदमी भला था
पता था
ज़रा बस खफा था
वह भटका सा राही मेरे गाँव का ही
वह रास्ता पुराना जिसे याद आना
ज़रूरी था लेकिन जो रोया मेरे बिन
वो एक मेरा घर था
पुराना सा डर था
मगर अब न मैं अपने घर का रहा
सफर का ही था मैं सफ़र का रहा
इधर का ही हूँ न उधर का रहा
सफर का ही था मैं सफ़र का रहा
इधर का ही हूँ न उधर का रहा
सफर का ही थ मैं सफ़र का रहा
मैं रहा... ओ ओ...
मैं रहा... वो
मैं रहा...
मील पत्थरों से मेरी दोस्ती है
चाल मेरी क्या है राह जानती है
जाने रोज़ाना...
ज़माना वही रोज़ाना
शहर शहर फुर्सतों को बेचता हूँ
खाली हाथ जाता खाली लौट'ता हूँ
ऐसे रोज़ाना
रोज़ाना खुद से बेगाना...
जबसे गाँव से मैं शहर हुआ
इतना कड़वा हो गया की ज़ेहर हुआ
मैं तोह रोज़ाना
न चाहा था यह हो जाना मैंने
ये उम्र्र, वक़्त, रास्ता गुजरता रहा
सफर का ही था मैं सफ़र का रहा
इधर का ही हूँ न उधर का रहा
सफर का ही था मैं सफ़र का रहा
इधर का ही हूँ न उधर का रहा
सफर का ही था मैं सफ़र का रहा
मैं राहा
मैं राहा
मैं राहा
मैं राहा
मैं राहा
मैं राहा
मैं राहा
मैं राहा
मैं मैं राहा
मैं राहा
सफर का ही था मैं सफ़र का रहा
*Drags this over to the "obsessed with old men" website like a cat that's just caught their first leaf and spits it at your feet*
Jawan is a really great flick. The Red Chilies did a fantastic job balancing action and beauty, and the whole thing is just a feast for the eyes. 10/10, the music has been on loop in my house ever since.
This is a repaint of this photo I took on my phone:
(I'm just preemptively saying this because I know what Tumblr is like--click the picture for better detail, the thumbnail is almost certainly stupid compressed)
From an obsessive passionate stalker of his college crush in 'Darr' to a psycho rich business man badly crazy over normal air hostess in 'Anjaam'... He did Wattpad yandere shit before the Wattpad itself 💫...
(Don't forget the bazigar ) SRK the man you are ! Your villian era will be always be famous 💯😭
gonna give summary’s of my fave hindi movies main relationships bc i love them (in no particular order)
-Om Shanti Om: Om fr DIES for Shanti and they STILL find eachother in the next life
- 3 Idiots : Her dad hates him and kicks him out of his uni, years later his friends get her from her wedding to a guy she doesn’t really love and bring them back together
-Happy New Year : (might not be accurate on this one) He made her feel good, and not just about her body like the men at the bar did. He trusted her enough to tell her about the plan to get Grover in jail. He loved her for her.
