* long post alert*
I thought a lot tonight.. whether I should make this post public or not? Will I become an outcast amongst the Uber cool people I know. Will I ever be acknowledged as one amongst you all or will you all turn your back on me?
I did the unthinkable. I acted on a whim and I had a partner in my crime. If not for his egging, I wouldn’t have gone through the whole thing I am sure.(I am trying hard to redeem myself.)
I was feeling rebellious .. the kids were ensconced in their own world.. The husband left for his weekly massage. What was I to do? Netflix beckoned and I half heartedly decided to watch a movie for I had recently overdosed on some Korean series and my brains refused another shot of over the top melodrama (and we thought Indian TV serials nailed that genre)
I wasnt thinking clearly when I flicked through the list, all I wanted was some brainless movie.. I thought why not revisit one of the cheesiest movies I had ever seen.. there are so many cause I have watched pretty much ever movie that released in the 90s.
Thankfully Netflix here doesn’t have a large Hindi movie collection. You must understand the reason I chose what I saw.. I needed help and I turned to the one person who has a wider knowledge of this genre than me. I had three options and asked his help.
As I settled back to watch his choice, not sure if I would go through the whole thing, he turned up! The massage abandoned to watch the movie. I was stunned.
We watched cringing, ridiculing, hamming along, shaking our heads in disbelief as we mouthed the dialogues like it was yesterday.
It’s been a twenty years.. I can’t believe it’s been so long. The kids came to see what the fuss was all about. After quizzing me a few times if this was actually a movie or was I watching a music channel, the younger one dozed off. The older one watched as I tried to give her some trivia as to how big a hit was this movie in our times..she snorted in disbelief and soon gave in to her dreams.
I almost gave up and thought it was time to switch off but he still wanted to go on.. it wasn’t my fault. He was keeping my interest alive by spouting off all that movie trivia, dates, awards, events off his head. How much movie trivia can a person remember? But what am I saying, I grew up with a mom who had the 60s to the 80s movie trivia at her fingertips.
The house had grown silent around us and the end was almost near when divine intervention hit the screen and Tuffy came to save the day.
#Facepalm moment#
I must confess I enjoyed watching it .. well not all of it (how much dhik tana can one listen to after all but I couldn’t help falling in love with Madhuri once again). The only side effect was that I had opened the flood gates for a volley of lame and cheesy jokes in my partner which ended only after I promised I would confess to the world that we watched Hum Aapke Hain Koun and set couple goals for the rest of you.
I survived that.. but guess what I almost had chosen? Hum saath saath hain!!! 😳
