And the vote goes to…
Raj Malhotra (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)
Raj Aryan (Mohabbatein)

Raj “Baadshah” (Baadshah)
Raj “Kaali” Bakshi (Dilwale)
Raj Mathur (Chalte Chalte)
Yay, my favorite Raj made the cut!
shark rukh khan
i miss him
tho mohabbatein isn't even that great but it always gets me that raj aryan didn't come back to gurukul to get revenge on the man who hated love sm he ruined raj's future just because he was in love with that man's daughter but came back for the lonely father of the girl he will always love and considered him as his own father
OH MY GOD
🧡 SRK moodboard for @maxwellendowed 🧡
Why were the black dress scenes not in Tera rasta choodon na film version????
The whole sequence is so dreamy and looks like a continuation of their oso days. Why would you have that bit in promos only?
Have you seen Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)?
Yes
No
Haven’t even heard of this movie
Oh, I haven't watched K3G yet, but I am planning to! I've mainly just gotten loads of comments about how it's overly melodramatic and excuses the father and family conflict too quickly at the end, which, I'm not sure how much that is people not liking movies being a full 1to1 of irl. Mainly, I've just been going insane at "Rahul was a fuckboy" takes from every corner of the internet (and I would murder to see your takes against that) and how it coats everything in KKHH discourse, so I just wanted to have a clear set of eyes because I had gone into that film believing Rahul was cheating on either Anjali and Tina because of how hated he was.
people watch a family drama named "kabhi khushi kabhie gham" which literally translates to sometimes happiness sometimes sadness and then expect it to not be overly melodramatic. haters will keep rewatching k3g and not admit maybe despite all its flaws it's an entertaining movie that they just can't get enough of.
about the father and family conflict all i am gonna say is a decade is a long time and if the movie had tried to be any realistic there NEVER would have been a resolution ik i grew up in a joint family. also the tagline of k3g was "it's all about loving your parents" what did they expect was gonna happen. so just watch it. i find this genre frustrating usually but i love this movie. a legendary cast pretty sure it's still true after 24 years. and shahrukh-kajol together... k3g kajol is an absolute queen she's just everything. shahrukh doing the scolded child crying so well would make anyone remember their childhood
(i am not kidding i can write a whole book on kuch kuch hota hai and the brainless discourse around it even after acknowledging it was a flawed movie. ik i am a bit biased bc i have loved it since i was 4ish but every time i see the rahul was a cheater a fuckboy takes i actually get so murderous it's unreal. but there's a deadline soon no definite date yet but it's soon so we can discuss kkhh sometime later. would love to)
"Ae Kash Ke Hum" is one of my favorite musical sequences ever. it is so beautifully realized, with Kumar Sanu's voice and Shah Rukh Khan's endearing performance. In the entire number, Sunil is the only one singing. It is one of the only songs in the film that is entirely "within" his head. In other non-diagetic songs in the film (deewana dil deewana, aana mere pyar ko, woh toh hai albela), the side characters are joining in, or leading the musical number. but Ae Kash Ke Hum only has Sunil singing--and technically, he only sings on screen for a brief sequence.
It takes place after Sunil points out a shooting star to Ana.
And while the star is reflected in her eyes, he looks over to her, and the camera does a sort-of match cut from the shooting star to the moon, and an overhead light at the fair.
The camera pans down, and we see the empty carnival, with only Sunil and Ana, both dressed in white, romantic, filmy outfits, while they waltz across the empty concrete. It is only in this imagined version of reality that we see Sunil actually mouthing along with the words of the song.
We exit that dream sequence back into reality--Ana is trying to make playful, platonic conversation while they waltz among other couples. Her conversation falls on deaf ears, however, as he continues to stare at her dreamily. We don't hear her words, we don't here what she's saying. We continue to hear "Ae kash ke hum hosh mein ab aana na paaye." (trans. "I hope that I never regain my consciousness").
It's such a perfect encapsulation of Sunil as a character. And is a perfect example of what musical numbers can do that films driven only by dialogue can't. Music is a reflection of a character's heart: their emotions and thoughts that they cannot speak outside for whatever reason. But for a character like Sunil, who wears his expressions so clearly and openly on his face, music isn't some hidden thing. It comes easily to him, it is at the forefront of his mind. It is screaming from within him, underlaying the scene as he loses himself in the cotton candy fantasy he has built for himself and Ana, only for it to all melt away at the end as his lies are revealed, and Chris and Ana walk away together.
In conclusion, they don't make lover boys like they used to, and they will never make a lover boy like Shah Rukh Khan again.
what if i say "rab ne bana di jodi" can have a queer reading where the alternate version of srk's character is a trans self and an actualized self which is kept hidden bc of shame and stigma and the alternate version is more confident and out there bc (it) is free of those restraints? what if i say it is a film about accepting people for who they are and realizing that you can fall in love with someone in spite of who they are and even when they reveal the two are the one and the same? what then?
To all my single desi ladies this valentine's, remember we must never settle for the bare minimum of a 'wyd' text🗣
Gurl, you're disappointing the 7 yr old bollywood lover girl in you
sometimes I realize that I am so freaking in love with Shah Rukh Khan, like he is my everything help :(
What does it mean?
What does it mean to Rahul when he spends his whole life worried that his adoptive parents might get sick of him and then realises that no, they DO love him, just to be proved wrong when his father throws him out because he fell in love?
What does it mean to Anjali when she goes to her new in-laws place hoping to find a mother's love, a father and a new family only to return with nothing but the man she knows will do anything for her?
What does it mean to Nandini when she is separated from her eldest son for 10 years but her husband asks him if he should've asked for him to come back?
Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.
