having Urdu in the film title card, it's been missing from Hindi cinema for such a long time and such pretty lovelyyyyyyy illustrations in the credits at the beginning and end of the film
make no mistake, this is DESPITE the Indian film industry. also lmao this is an impolite, necessary fuck you to sooooooooooooo many men gah i love women ❤️
the way even srk knew his chaiyya chaiyya legacy > any new movie promo
this was the greatest day of my life and i never want to recover and idc if this was from 6 years ago, i think srk is currently doing this somewhere to reciprocate his love for the dilsexuals

honestly, no other photograph from this match will be as momentous as that brave young person with the pride and Palestine flags, no matter who wins, who hits however many runs or takes however many wickets.

complaining to HR (who most likely won't take any action) for men ogling because accha bola?? tareef ki??? and EVEN IN HER BUBBLE she will not mention that if women share the role of earning that men should share the role of care work 👻
i need to puke all over that pandering mic
Today, during Hyderabad's afternoon protests, the azaan was heard in the in the bg & the crowd made room for fellow muslim protestors to say their namaaz.
This the storied legacy of India's religious tolerance is what's under threat. This is what we're fighting to keep alive.
good on everyone but honestly this whole looking at being ND as a superpower is so painful. because being neurodivergent is too too too fkn hard. i have no strength or talent left man. im so damn drained from just somehow surviving, if i can even call it that.
MKAGG is a simple song. it has a straightforward arrangement. in being simple, the song matches rahul - who doesn't have much.
except a trench coat: a🧵
it is one of the rarer bolly songs with no costume changes. but with such big pockets in his black trench coat
just so some of you can stop spewing scammer vitriol against sufi & anjali whose inner lives we know nothing about.
stop jumping at the first op for antiqueer, islamophobic, xenophobic shit. leave them the heck alone and quit making the internet triggering for all queer people.
what makes main koi aisa geet gaaon beautiful is that it is not a romantic song - it is a love song, but not only of a lover. humour me 🧵
for me, it evokes my sister and my father before it does my partner because it is an ode to the things they've done to make me smile -
I realise that like many of us, ive often been unkind to

also the scene in this film when suri is upstairs and a bit startled when she comes upstairs to his room!!! he has no lines and it is JUST A BODY LANGUAGE MASTERCLASS 😭😭😭
I've always maintained that Shah Rukh Khan possesses tremendous range. This is an actor often mocked for getting typecasted in charismatic, larger than life roles. Surinder's demeanor exudes a palpable sense of underconfidence, complemented by his meek body language here.
been seeing so many ♥️ covers of the first antra, couldn't resist making a below average one of the second one. gustakhi maaf.
this one is for the rude truth that there won't be a bracket poll to opine over tomorrow morning...
my biggest, most joyous takeway from the bracket has been the SEL recognition.
3 songs in the final - 3 diff films, all 3 setting ENTIRELY different moods, all 3 undeniably glorious. credit to SEL has been long overdue in popular discourse which exalts only ARR to godliness.
im being enterprising and making you lot just remember that if you vote beedi in the Battle Royale of beedi vs. kajra re *THIS* is what you're voting against!
Boys, gents and most importantly of all, SAPPHICS, SHE DIDN'T MOTHER THISSS HARD FOR YOU TO SING ABOUT FKN FIREPLACES 🧵
rafah is the size of Heathrow. imagine filling Heathrow with 1.7 million people. imagine Israel bombing Heathrow at 4 am. imagine the world being silent about it. you can't, can you?
because you'd care about 1.7 mn people in London.

did a thing and y'all are so kind (and mistaken) wanting to see it so here goes
wrote a thing about my cutu pappa while on a flight when i was travelling away from home cause my phone didn't have internet and my heart had feelings.

maybe we need to be shown a mirror? maybe be protected from storm? eat?
love is just a trench coat full of toys & confetti

Sigh. Mom still says "I'm only saying this as a mother because i want the best for you but you just tell me I'm not helping you never see it from my perspective", it's frustrating to have a parent make it about themselves. I'm so sorry you had to put up with it for 20 years
This is why

so remind me again how men's careers are ruined by 'false' / 'baseless' allegations?
Aishwarya Rai has the prettiest face card of the 90s but she cannot act (mid at best).
All her success has been mainly because of how good she looks, which is why she hasn’t had the longevity as some other queens. 🤷🏽♀️

If you want to help someone who is depressed, just help them with the functional routine chore-like stuff - cooking, laundry, buying the groceries etc.
I probably speak for all survivors when I say you would be saving our lives, you have NO IDEA how hard these things become.
rahul doesn't promise seema god. he's like you and me. he sees a cute thing and thinks of her and wants her to have it.
a little yellow plushie duckling is the next surprise to come out of his trench coat.

there was more laughter in '23 than depression lets me remember. pain aplenty. but laughter too.
pic 3 i was caught belly laughing for 15 min after hobbling out of the sea hurriedly. it was MUCH colder than I estimated & all machismo that i could "handle it" rapidly dissipated
the acting™ to go from wide eyed lovesick at "... tumse bayaan" to GOOFBALL at "haaaaan ya main karoon"
vote option 2. vote MKAGG for the commitment to making someone smile 😭😭😭
an even bigger heart on his sleeve, even an entire song isn't enough for Seema to see all the tiny trinkets Rahul has in his coat to make her smile.
at the beginning, he pulls out of his pocket a single apple, a chocolate, a polka dot scarf
all seemingly unsophisticated gifts
them together again kabbbb???? why is bollywood punishing us with ranbir??? and shraddha??? instead of pairs with actual chemistry???? i am literally okay with a third bhoothnath film at this point even if banku is 23 cause they were such A1 parents 😭😭😭

but I love mkagg too much. I have lost everything I love this bracket. I need a break to be sad & mope.

he says he will bhaago titliyon and jugnuon ke peeche for rang and roshni, but again, he returns to his means - the handy-dandy trench coat! he whips it open: coloured confetti on the left, a light bulb on the right - because after titli & jugnu disappear, he'll still be here.
i lied. i dont need help. i can. it's gotta be kajra re. khnh, the film, is half my personality; but just aish biting her lip for half a second is the other half.
the sitaare he sajaaoes her zameen with are not cosmic.
he makes do with his means. he makes chopped up wrapping paper rain and she is filled with wide-eyed wonder.
