DCH (and KHNH) were where he first caught my eye so I didn't come up on much of his earlier work, but Yeh Dillagi was fun (Ole Ole has always been one of my favorite of his songs). I adore him but bless, it took him a long time to develop as an actor lol...some of the early stuff is unwatchable.

I aggressively boycott all Salman Khan films so I've never watched either of them, but even without him I can't imagine I'd find them any more appealing than you did 😂

This was an excellent read — I finally got around to watching DDLJ the other day after years of avoiding it and found it so cringe I didn't finish it. Raj and Baldev were each repulsive in their own ways; I don't know if there was a single redeemable male character in the entire movie.

Anyway, just horribly bland and charmless, utterly predictable, and full of terrible writing. 2/10

I also sold a book to Susan Sarandon (who had popped in for warmth before one of the Iraq war protests in DC) during my very glamorous year of working as a gift shop cashier at the Folger Library
