00:00 Oh, the Deccan Herald should be visible.

00:12 It's 21st July and the much awaited Barbie movie is finally here.

00:15 Directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margaret Robbie and Ryan Gosling, people have been

00:23 waiting to watch this movie since its first teaser released at least 7 months ago.

00:35 People have also dressed up for the occasion and it's all pink and sparkles.

00:39 Let's go speak to some of them and find out what the mood is like.

00:45 I had one Barbie when I was a kid.

00:48 I had only 2 or 3 Barbies growing up and I used to make houses in shoe boxes and stuff.

00:54 So it was very special.

00:56 And I've always been a great fan of Margaret Robbie.

01:03 Margaret Robbie, I loved her in the Birds of Prey, right?

01:07 I think it was that movie.

01:08 It was really good.

01:09 Suicide Squad.

01:10 So I'm really excited to see her.

01:13 We tried.

01:15 Yeah, we tried.

01:17 The sun was getting as pink as possible.

01:20 And showing off.

01:21 It was worth it.

01:22 Totally worth it.

01:23 When I first saw the trailer, I knew that's what I wanted to wear.

01:28 And I spent so many days just searching for the right costume, right hair accessory and

01:33 everything.

01:34 Yeah, I actually dressed up for the movie.

01:37 I was not that much into the movie.

01:39 But yeah.

01:40 Okay, so the top is from Urbanic, right?

01:43 And I just managed to, the only thing I spent money on was this skirt.

01:46 It was just for like 260-270 rupees.

01:49 And this scarf for like 40 bucks.

01:51 I was actually telling all my friends not to spend money a lot for the movie.

01:54 Like, you know, wasteful consumerism.

01:56 But yeah, I really have grown up watching Barbie since I was a kid.

02:01 So this was like a dream come true in my adult life.

02:06 I thought that I have hyped it up too much in my head.

02:09 But no, it totally met the expectation.

02:14 Cold shower.

02:15 I'm falling off my roof.

02:17 And my heels are on the ground.

02:20 It was everything.

02:22 Existentialism meets like super femininity, which is exactly what I wanted.

02:27 It was perfect.

02:29 It was everything you wanted in a Barbie movie, but it wasn't what you would expect from something

02:36 that was supposed to be plastic.

02:38 And then there is life coming into it.

02:41 So it was great.

02:42 Yeah, it was great.

02:43 It takes you by surprise.

02:45 It is not what people think it is.

02:46 It was amazing.

02:47 I would encourage everybody to watch it.

02:50 It's fun.

02:51 It's entertaining.

02:53 It's educational.

02:54 A little bit, not too much.

02:56 And there's lots of pink.

02:57 So anybody who loves pink is going to love this movie.

03:00 I'm coming with you.

03:01 Okay.
