Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001)

[djuvlipen]

Please tell us more about Parvati's crush on SRK! What's her favourite film? Does she watch them with Padma (then practice the choreography together)?

thank you for asking!! 🥰🥰

So keep in mind this is all happening in the mid 90s so many SRK movies aren't out yet! (like mohabbatein, Kuch Kuch hota hai, Kabhi khushi khabie gham) however Parvati has definitely plastered posters of SRK in Anjaam, Baazigar, DDLJ and Darr all over her walls lmao. Her fave is dilwale dulhania le jayenge, SRK's latest release at the time of ootp. Her family is actually pureblood (her dad is a higher up at some wizard publishing house and her mom works as a potion maker in an apothecary) but the Patils aren't as unaware of Muggle culture as regular pure bloods are, so parvati goes to the movies and also got herself a music stereo station and she regularly listens to all the songs over the school break.

Padma is a bit more nerdy and less boy-crazy as Parvati is, she was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid and loves astronomy. she is also a bit more insecure compared to Parvati (all her friends are male and she's kinda trying to be "one of the boys" yk?) so she doesnt care that much about SRK or movies in general tbh. however Parvati IS trying to get lavender into the srk lore but lavender doesn't really care for it as she's currently busy pining over river phoenix and (soon enough) young Leonardo DiCaprio

Movies and tv shows that I have seen where they should have been lesbians

Eega (2012)- I too would come back from the dead as a fly for a girl I barely talk to. also something about Nani in this movie screams butch lesbian idk idk

Nuvvu Naaku Nachav (2001)- possessive femme, losing sleep over eye contact etc. Also I think it would have made the forbidden love part of it more intense/believable

Kabhie Khushi Khabie Gham- I already made a post about this on my page so I won't rehash that here but if you want my thoughts on it find that post

Ponniyin Selvin (2022) - Controversial? perhaps. Period accurate? definitely not. I don't care. maybe I just really liked this movie and I want more lesbian period dramas from India. maybe I just think they're really hot. either way aditha and nandini should have been lesbians. they're too hot not to be lesbians

Anne of Green Gables- I'm all for people just being friends and all that but I feel like Diana and Anne should have kissed at least once. they're so homoerotic friendship

Merlin (2008)- Gwen and morgana were my first introduction to queer baiting. ok maybe it wasn't actually queer baiting but it felt like it. they needed to kiss at least once, preferably more than once.they would have been so cute together. they were always the happiest when they were near each other. ugh

will update as I remember more

Whenever I watch Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham, I just sit there thinking what an amazing k-drama it would make, but then I think that maybe it wouldn’t, because half of the magic is the musical numbers, and Korea… does Not Do musical set pieces like that. But anyway, here’s a quick fancast!

Cha Hakyeon as the male lead / “Rahul” character

I love his charisma and easy blend of humor and earnestness, and I’m dying to see him in a leading man role. He’d pull off this role so well.

Park Eun-bin as the female lead / “Anjali” character

Her ability to play characters that would come off as annoying in the hands of anyone else, but she transforms into the most lovable character to have ever graced your screen… born to play Anjali

And yes, I loved the two of them in Castaway Diva and need them playing a couple like now

Choi Hyun Wook as the second male lead / “Rohan” character

He’s pretty and great at crying and I really think he and Hakyeon could pull off the siblings look.

Roh Jeong-eui as the second female lead / “Pooja” character

If anyone can pull off the “I’m pretty and I know it and wield it” character and still make her likable, it’s Jeong-eui. She doesn’t really look like she could be Eun-bin’s sister, but we can make it work!

For the parents, I’m not totally sure, especially for the dad. But for the mom, I’m leaning towards either Kim Mi-kyung (I mean, obviously 😌) or Seo Jung-Yeon. They can both play that tender loving mom that has a thousand secrets and feelings behind her eyes.

You’re desi???? Oh you’ve gotta be kidding me. Bet you’re stunner, all Pakistanis are😭 I want to know what you look like cece omggggg

[roohfully]

love going on my friend’s hinges and swiping. x heart x x x heart heart. one guy whistled the kabhi khushi khabie gham theme what a manipulative psycho. we hearted tho

[itsaperiwinkleworldv2]

Hurt and comfort?? The Darcy and Elizabeth tension??? You got it!!

Now; how do you feel about it being inspired by a movie perhaps?? Is there a romantic movie that you go: my blirbos?? Why isn’t this in a fanfic? Or just any movie that you watch and go ‘I wish my blorbos were in this??’

3 ACTS? I will do my best!!

Modern? Or canon? And if it’s canon how would you feel it being during solstice? *wiggles eyebrows suggestively*

Either way; let me know.

I apologize I haven’t been posting as much. I can’t show you the moodboard and playlist till reveal. Is there any songs that scream ELUCIEN to you???

And what is your favorite snack???? Favorite joke???

And what is the sluttiest thing a male like Lucien can wear???

I want this to be amazing for you!!

PS you are doing amazing sweetie

I don't really watch romantic movies, but there is something that makes my soul cry and it's the level of dramatic mental struggle you can find in Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham. Also any trope with bad injuries, saving etc etc. Heavy on the cave thing. I know he spent a cave night with Feyre but it was different, okay? Okay? 🥹 I'm a sucker for these *cue embarrassed hiding behind the curtains*

Canon. CANON. Please 🥹

When it comes to songs I'm more of an a-ha, BTS, bee gees, abba, one republic girlie (but some good pop that hits hard in the feels would be awesome too, I'm pretty polyjamorous really 😂 - just no metal or screamo and we're good 😂).

Favourite snack?

Hmm. Don't think I have any at the moment. But I do admit that I have a thing for moon milk, you know, for anxiety and other mental shits 😅 so having one make some cute fancy moon milk for another would calm my soul 🥹

The sluttiest thing for a male like him to wear? I'd say a forest green turtleneck. You know, those tight ones, that make everyone realise that bro has actually a sleeper build, and some chains, because... obviously? Oh. And rings. RINGS. You know what I'm talking about, right? 👀👉🏻👈🏻 Make Elain's brain go mushy. Feel free to awaken things unknown before in our girlie. 👀😂

Oooh. And a good leather fighting gear. Brown and dyed green, with a golden finish, because obviously my autumn boy deserves something that makes his red hair pop, and matches his golden eye. 👀

Given how they dress in ACOTAR I honestly think that could still pass as canon? But, really, honestly, truthfully - it's up to you. ☺️ You're the creator 🩷☺️

You're so sweet 🥹🩷

I hope I'm not being a handful with all my requests 🥹

I hope you have an amazing week dear 🥹🩷

Top 5 Bollywood movies

Ooooh, you knew exactly what to ask me to make my day!

5 - Bajirao Mastani (I will never get enough of Deewani Mastani)

4 - Pardes (Mahima Chaudhry, Nahin Hona Tha, Meri Mehbooba...)

3 - Hum Tum AND Jab Tak Hai Jaan, because I can't choose

2 - Kuch Kuch Hota Hai AND Khabi Khushi Kabhi Gham, because it doesn't get better than SRK and Kajol (and Rani Mukherjee)

1 - Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela AND Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, because. Just. Because. No, I will never get over these two.

Did I went overboard? Maybe. I stand by it.

Mmh. Yeah. Lots of SRK-Kajol and DeepVeer, isn't it.

OH, and shameless promo for my DDLJ fic too! Golden Light On The Rooftops, part 1, and with any luck I'll post part 2 this autumn.

What kind of movies do you like to watch? I made a list of 42 Hindi movies from between 2010 and now for Bollywood recs, but once I finished I realized I don't know which genres you like so I don't know which recommendations to give you! 😅

As for stuff out right now, I liked Vikram Vedha. It gets really engrossing once Hrithik Roshan shows up like 20 minutes into the movie, though I don't think the songs were that memorable (and I thought one didn't fit in the movie at all, lol.) I had fun watching it, though I think it could have been stronger if it didn't explicitly explain things to the audience so much and had been more subtle about its points. For Indian movies in general that aren't Bollywood, I loved Ponniyin Selvan which is historical fiction plus political intrigue and some action. (The female characters were excellent I cannot stress this enough, and I genuinely loved so many of the characters.) I also really enjoyed Kantara (especially the climax which gave me chills!) which looks at themes of man vs nature, man vs man, and who can really 'own' or have stewardship over the land and uses religious traditions from coastal Karnataka in South India to explore that.

ooh you sound much more expert than me, haha! I mostly just watched all the biggest movies from like 10~20 years ago, so some of my favs are Kal Ho Naa Ho, Jab We Met, and Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham.

I like all genres except horror, but I especially enjoy movies that have good songs and are fun and upbeat. I'd be psyched to see any of your recommendations! I haven't watched very many movies lately but maybe I'll get back into it! Thank you!
