Thoughts on Karan Arjun (1995) #33:
OMG I'm finally at DDLJ year in srk's career! I'm midway the 90s!!!
In the first half I kept thinking "why am I more drawn to Salman Khan's character? Why is srk giving me absolutely nothing?" and THEN Arjun realizes the whole backstory stuff AND srk revs up the charm so I think it was an acting decision on his part (i was relieved)
I will admit I did not pay much attention to the last 20 minutes but GOD THAT PLOT TWIST I gasped and held my breath for a whole minute.
That tiger striped outfit by Kajol is life I need a gif set or something.
After this and Anjaan I should really make some research on the goddess Kali.
I understand that this movie is super famous and still present in the average Indian's conscience (maybe just the Hindi speaking part?) but I don't think I'll ever rewatch it :P other than the couple of plot twists the plot is pretty predictable. After a bit it just becomes a waiting game + I find fight scenes pretty boring in general.
Crazy that srk and Kajol starred in this one + DDLJ in the same year O.O apparently DDLJ was the highest grossing movie of 1995 and Karan Arjun the second O.O
srk had 7 movie coming out in 1995??? O.O how.
next up: zamaana deewana. I've decided to not look up ANYTHING about the srk movies before watching them cause it's fun to be totally blindsided.
