ATTENTION FLIST! 

You know that Bollywood movie I've been raving about like a madwoman for ages now? Well, I recently poked and prodded 

[personal profile] purplephoenix03 into giving it a try and hit gold - she's as head over heels in love with it as I am. It is the cutest, neatest, most adorable chick flick musical ever to come out of Bollywood, encapsulating the authentic richness and nuances of Indian culture and traditions with elements of the modern road movie, coming together to provide India's answer to When Harry Met Sally(Did someone say Hum Tum? What? Boo.)

So,[personal profile] purplephoenix03, being the unbelieveably awesome woman she is, is going to copy the the movie and post it free of charge to anybody who comments on this post of hers, within the next 24 hours. While you're there, check out her awesome India picspam. I had a notion to do the self-same thing myself, since I'm sure that Bollywood isn't an easily accesible phenomenon for most of you, but between the sickness of my hard drive and the deadness of my combo drive, it turned out to be a touch impossible. =/ 

C'mon guys. Give it a whirl. At worst it's a cute little chick flick where people burst into song unexpectedly and people behave in quaint Asian ways. At best it's OMG OMG WHO IS THAT GUY? I WANT I WANT I WANT! 

Ahem. Well. 

P.S Remember the 24 hour time limit. Just comment with your address (they're screened). RUN!

Really? That is so awesome! Congrats on you for successfully pimping this movie BTW! Is she giving it away with subtitles...I am curious because people who don't usually watch BW may not know hindi...

On another note I am sorely tempted to ask her (something to tide me over till I manage to acquire that double disk!) but she's got enough comments LOL

Seeing as I'm reading flist and am over here anyway... I had multiple peoples prodding me to watch this movie, but I think the biggest enabler was indeed [livejournal.com profile] ladymirth. I read her review of it a while back and resolved to eventually watch it, even though Bollywood just is not my thing!

Yep, subtitles is indeed part of the package, heck I needed them myself for some of the punjabi bits!

And pfft, ask away. Come on over and drop your address, I really don't mind :)

Well I am glad you did! Everyone deserves to enjoy the awesomness that is Jab We Met. I am so glad I now know of at least two people on LJ who like this movie! I am so tempted to start a community for it heh.

Heee I love those punjabi bits! Its so awesome hearing Shahid and Kareena like that.

Haha oh if you insist *goes over to your LJ*

Yep, subtitles and all. And the best part is that the discs are region-free! Even I'm tempted to ask her for one, even though I have two copies already. (Eh, don't ask!) If I could get a region-free copy I could pimp it all over the WORLD...

Awesome, thy name is Ash!

What has this movie DONE to us, Jaanu? *shakes head sadly* Tis evil. EVOL!

That's awesome! Yeah I was thinking along the same lines...I want to force all my friends to watch it. I know they won't mind the forcing once they actually see the movie heh.

I know, it is worse than crack.
