Shashi from Yuva (2004)

I had watched this movie in Bangalore (when it was still called that) with relatives, and had liked the movie in parts.

The pair I liked the most was that of Lallan Singh (Abhishek Bachchan) and Shashi Biswas (Rani Mukerji). The wikipedia entry describes their relationship nicely - "He loves, marries and abuses his wife."

Towards the end of the movie, Shashi insists that Lallan and she leave town, and keeps asking him if he will turn up at the station. He gives every indication that he will, after returning a gun. She offers to throw it away herself, and he doesn't agree.

Unexpectedly, he goes and kills his brother. Expectedly, he doesn't turn up at the station.

Shashi is in the train waiting for him and there is no sign of him when the train starts moving. Her frustration gets vented out when the ticket checker asks her a simple question (not verbatim) - "Aapka pati bathroom mein hai?"

Watch the clip between 22 seconds and 1 minute. 



I wonder why I didn't pay as much attention to the other two couples that shared healthy relationships.

Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991)

Couple of days ago, I found myself singing a song. While I was singing, I couldn't recollect the movie or the singer. I looked it up on youtube, and then realised that the song was from 'Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin'. The spelling of 'Manta' makes me happy - the extra letters were not in fashion at that time.

I must confess that I didn't grow up with the notion of a man of my dreams, so I am recommending the song purely on its cuteness quotient. Anuradha Paudwal is the singer.



I then looked through the other songs in the movie, and realised that I had heard all of them multiple times over. I also remembered that the movie was good fun to watch.
