A hilarious and self-referential scene from Chennai Express in 2014. SRK says “I’ve done this before” - referring to the finale of Dilwale Dulhania La Jahenge, a film from 1995 that *is still played in Indian cinemas today* https://t.co/fs9jADZgtu
I can’t find the original DDLJ scene on YouTube, so here’s a video of a recent-ish screening of this *legendary* scene. Listen to how the crowd cheers - I feel like it’s another data point for my “Bollywood = Hollywood + WWE” hypothesis https://t.co/5aJsgfjEyq
Are there any actor/actress pairs in Hollywood who have been maintaining such amazing chemistry and tension for *decades* like this? SRK and Kajol have been almost-kissing for 20+ years (this scene is from Dilwale, 2015) https://t.co/tgSRan0HRA
Nobody does dramatic slow-motion running better than Indian women (she went to grab his grandpa’s ashes, which is why he’s on this road trip) https://t.co/OSGidI8WW4
