First, I am so grateful that y’all alerted me to this. Second, I love the DCIB community in which an Ayan Mukherjee film release date has a very specific hilarious meaning.
Ayan’s announcement! Which is charming, but too wordy, and not to the point, and announced with much greater importance than it actually has. Oh, and doesn’t in fact remember to include the release date announcement. So, perfectly representative of an Ayan creative product.
Moments of laughter for me:
“I have been focusing on the Vision for Parts Two and Three”. The VISION!?!?! You don’t even have a vision yet???? Oh Ayan
“I have decided we will make the two films…Together!” Like no one has thought of this ever before. Like that’s not how Bahubali was made in India, or LOTR in New Zealand/America, or really anything that is announced and planned as a trilogy rather than a standalone that turns into a trilogy.
“I have a timeline in place to achieve this,” I feel like this is what Ayan used to say to his parents when they asked if he had started his homework yet.
“So I can do my best and contribute to that one thing that matters most to me…” Did anyone else mentally finish this sentence “Ranbir Kapoor”? And kind of feel like he is lying by NOT finishing “Ranbir Kapoor”?
