Content: Cinematic moments that never left me
There are moments in cinema that never leave you. For weeks, months.. Years.
It is impossible for me to write down all the scenes that came to me and never left. If there are 100 scenes that never left me, I will be probably able to write down just 9 here. I have restricted myself to Hindi films. A combined list would be impossible to compile without touching 100 pages! So here I attempt writing about some that still make me sit through 1000 films in the hope that somewhere, I might find another one scene that keeps reiterating my faith in the power of cinema.
Vaastav’s ending: When Raghu is defeated from within and starts hallucinating, he finds peace in the perennial love of a mother. He sees the faces of people whose family he has killed. He can see that his past is fast catching up with him. He is cornered and sees no way out. He cries, shouts, gives in. And for the first time, thinks about dying. What better way to die than in the arms of your mother? And with one gunshot, the film comes to a fantastic end. Great to see such ruthless, emotional and kickass ending to an equally amazing film
DDLJ’s Raj refusing to attend Simran’s wedding: After their roller coaster of a Eurail holiday comes to a very quick end, Raj and Simran stand at the Waterloo station not knowing how to say their goodbyes. Raj has already realized he’s in love. Simran has no clue. Raj is not familiar with the feeling of love – he has always been flirtatious. Simran can’t fathom what she’s feeling. Isin’t she supposed to marry a certain Kuljeet in the next few days, then what’s this? When she asks for his address so that she can send her wedding invitation to him and asks if he will attend, Raj smiles, realizing the irony of the situation and says, “Tch, main nahi aaunga!” Millions of girls like me must have felt floored when those eyes twinkled and dimples made a fleeting appearance. And when Raj walked away and the start music of Naa jaane mere began, one heck of a love story began to take immortal form.
Masoom’s bangle box scene: Rahul is trying hard to win over his new mother. As he lovingly prepares a bangle box for mom Indu’s birthday, he hurts himself and shouts “Mummy!”. Indu comes running upstairs and midway realizes that this is not her son. Time and again, Indu tries to kill the motherly instincts that draw her towards the totally adorable Rahul. And each time, reality hits her that this is not her son. Rahul is a rude reminder of DK’s infidelity. Shabana’s performance as a woman torn between playing different roles in life and struggling to cope with the fact that her husband was never hers alone is nothing short of brilliant. No words can justify what Naseer brought to DK’s character. Not once in the film did I hate this character. How amazing is that for a gray character? An amazing piece of writing supported with dazzling performances. It still makes me cry.
Mohan Bhargav buying water: Mohan Bhargav has just taken the journey of a lifetime. Unable to get the old, frail debtor out of his head, he is heading back home after handing over more money to him in return. He couldn’t bring himself to ask for money after seeing the state he lived in. From a boat to train, Mohan is only staring into space, taking stock of what he’s doing in life. His train comes to a halt at a small little station. He sees a little boy of about 7, running to sell something. Note that his run with the train began even before the flatform began. Barefoot. He is screaming himself hoarse “Paani lo paani.. 25 paise ka paani lo paani!”. He requests “Sahab, ek glass paani lo na” The so-far mineral water-drinking Mohan Bhargav nods a yes to have the unhygienic water from the old, worn out kettle. He drinks it and gets his first taste of real India. He pays the boy with a coin that’s handed over to him by Mela Ram, he fights back tears. As the train whistles out, Mohan leaves behind the little boy who is counting his earnings. Mohan is a changed man in just a few moments. Not a word is spoken but volumes are spoken. And Rahman’s haunting melody of Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera.. makes sure those heart strings are tugged at. It makes my heart skip several beats in one single go. Cinematic brilliance. SRK at his best. Wish more people knew how to use him.
Andaz Apna Apna: Really tough to pinpoint one single scene because the entire film never left me! If there is a method to madness, it is here, it is here, it is here! But as I am writing scenes here, it would have to be the one in which Teja and Ram Gopal Bajaj get interchanged. From “Hamara Bajaj” jingle to talks on the poultry farm, from Amar Prem arriving on the bicycle and tryin to escape triple seat.. The entire sequence, even the thought of it, still has me in splits! Not to forget the climax scene.. And the drinks scene where Amar claims he got his memory back and shows to everyone how he used to play football. And the scene when Amar Prem meet “Uncle” for the first time! I told you, its tough to write down just one! Can we have the Santoshi we knew back, please?!
Bhiku Mhatre and Satya’s meeting in the jail: Bhiku, probably Indian cinema’s most loved and adorable bhai, is serving a jail term when he is joined by a rookie outlaw Satya. They meet with a scuffle in the jail. When their eyes lock, the least you expect is for Bhiku to break into a chuckle. Right then, you fall in love with this man. He giggles, “Dum hai! Dum hai issme!” And you know Bhiku is not your regular baddie. He has a sense of humor and he is adorable too. Who else would humorously take a slap from his wife? He nicely introduces himself “Bhiku, Bhiku naam hai mera” and when Satya doesn’t respond, he instantly changes tone to “Bhiku bola na?!” When Satya finally shakes hands, a warm friendship begins. Bhiku is appallingly comfortable in the jail surroundings. He walks like a King (Mumbai ka King kaun?) in the grounds and chats up with everyone. He asks Satya “Kidhar se aaya tu?”, an unusual way for a don to begin talking. He has people who bring him his lunch plate but he doesn’t forget to give the coupon to him. As the lights are switched off and they still chat in their cell, you cant mistake the hurt in Bhiku when Satya tells about his family “Shayad marr gaye honge”. Amazing writing and what a performance! Can we also have the RGV we knew back, please!! Please!
Carrom board scene in Munnabhai MBBS: Not the first one, but the one in the hospital. When Munna and gang are running havoc at the hospital, also curing people and bettering lives on the way, J (dot) Asthana is running up the wall trying to collect enough evidence to chuck Munna out. When Rustom’s father refuses to eat anymore, Munna and Ciruit begin playing a game of carom right in the middle of the night, in the middle of the hospital ward. They chat loudly, discussing the game. This is not allowed in a hospital, everyone knows. But no one butts in. Even the strict Matron watches, spellbound. They set the stage to get Pappa to come and play. And they manage. As Pappa shakily comes and takes his seat and gets the queen, Zaheer mumbles “Cover jaana mushkil hai” and Pappa shrugs it off confidently. You hold your breath as the cover is magically knocked off. Then Pappa gaily says “Ae dikraa khavaanu laav ni! Bahu bhookh lagi chhe”. When he drinks the orange juice, you can’t deny that lump in your throat.
Harry’s plea to shoot the climax himself in The Last Lear: I am not too sure when I last saw helplessness so beautifully portrayed on screen before. I am also not too sure about how many have seen the film and agree with me. Many say Bachchan hammed. I beg to differ. When Bachchan’s Harry comes to know that his body-double will shoot the risky climax shot, he begs, quite literally, to director Siddharth to let him do it. He insists that this is the last time he probably gets to act and an actor should not be denied this privilege. He wonders if Jehangir the stuntman (Siddharth corrects him for the 100th time, it’s Akbar) will “get the expression right”. Siddharth tells him that it’s too risky and Harry would need to sign an Agreement stating that no one is responsible for what might happen to him, and Harry agrees. You need to see the curled up body language of an iconic theatre actor, the helplessness of an artiste, the desperation of a man who wants to give his last shot himself. Not to mention no premonition of what lies ahead. I would rate Bachchan as absolutely spellbinding in this scene. When the film ended, I wish to go back to this scene and warn him, “Harry! Don’t do this please!”
The climax of Dil Chahta Hai: We all have our own Aakash’s, Sameer’s and Sid’s in our lives. What a film and what an end! DCH showed that we needn’t be spoilt if we are rich, we needn’t be on dope to be high on life and we all love our friends despite all their flaws. We are not all-good. We all screw up and it’s completely alright. When Aakash is at the signal and gazes at his old college, amidst the crowd, he finds himself with old buddies Sid and Sameer living it up in the campus. And when Aakash of yesterday looks at the Aakash of today and shakes his head, our Aakash realizes his follies. And when he makes that call to Sid to apologize and Sid says “Sorry toh mujhe bhi kehna chahiye”, the arrogance in Aakash is still evident when he replies “Kabhi aur kar lena, aaj meri baari hai” to which Sid replies “Tu bilkul bhi nahi badlaa na?”, Aakash then finishes it up with “Haan, vaise bhi perfection ko sudhaarna bahot mushkil hai”. When these old buddies hug moist eyed, for the first time in years, my heart sang a happy song. And went something like this… “Kaisa ajab yeh safar hai, socho toh harr ek hi bekhabar hai.. Usko jaana kidhar hai, jo waqt aaye, jaane kya dikhaae!”
I could go on… But I need to finish. Even as I type this, I am remembering at least another 5 scenes that I am too tempted to add to this list. But then no would read such a long post. Probably a Part II. Would be glad to know all your scenes that stayed with you long after you left the cinema hall or switched the DVD player off.

Nice post. That scene from Swades never fails to get the better of me.
nice read
Nice post !!!
GK
YUVA! The scenes that I still remember are the ones between lalaan ( Abhishek) and Rani’s character. Every scene stands out. The predominant use of Red in almost every scene and their teasing love heat relationship.
Oops…read hate instead of heat!
I like this kind of Posts.
-
Hindi Film:
*Sholay- Death of Jay (Bachchan)
-
English Film:
*E.T. the Extra Terrestrial – Boy (Elliot) flies over the Moon on a bicycle with Extra Terrestrial friend.
-
*Raiders of the Lost Arc – Indiana Jones jumping on a Nazi truck from a Horseback.
This was a very interesting read. I love how different people watch and relate to different scenes from the same movie. That is the power of cinema I guess.
You have inspired me to write my own version of my fav. scenes.
(I do hope PFC publishes it).
- Himanshu
Let me add some more to your list…..hope you noticed those too
Last Lear–Harry dont know Siddarth is actually taking the shot and he is expressing his disgust..finally when he sees the shot he is amazed and smiles…..very good and innovative one
Dasvidaniya–Vinay Pathak Proposes Neha Dhupia standing in the rain with ….I never knew someone can say I love you so simply with just sign…very touching one.
Hazaron Khwaishe Aisi-Last scene Ahuza Writes I love you and Gita Watches…..
Mumbai Meri Jaan–Paresh Rawal’s speech to KK in the police van….of doing something different….He knows he cant do anything..he is corrupt… its end of his career but still he is trying to come up with a new approach…really amazing..
Shaurya-KK’s speech in the court..truth revealed in a loud way!
The President is coming-Naked Bush with only a Cap and the young Indian hand shakes
Rock On-Joe leaves the taxi and goes to the concert…though very dramatic one but for few seconds it really shook my emotions…..
These are my take on the recent ones but if we go back there are lot more……
We are proud of bollywood……of course with less Gajhni,CC2C,Rab Ne
Looking forward to part II
When Bhiku is shot by Bhau in Satya…i was too stunned to absorb what really happened
Climax of TZP when Darshil comes running towards Aamir..beauty
Some one mentioned Vinay Pathak-Neha Dhupia scene which is pretty touching
HKA climax
Tiger’s almost all scenes in BF
Kamal hasan-sridevi climax scene in Sadma
the list is unending
great write up Aarthi..looking forward for next part

http://passionforcinema.com/kompromise-kaun-nahi-karta/
How could you leave out..Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron’s Mahabharat scene..pure classic..organised chaos.
nice post, made me revisit my favorite scenes.
i would like to add a few
>the introduction of baba bangali in no smoking, that entire scene is so powerful.
>again from the same movie the scene where john goes deaf.
>the slo-mo car scene from lucky’s bachpan in OLLO.
>as people have mentioned above, the dasvidaniya scene of vinay proposing to neha via dumb charade.
>the final scene from yuva, when the youngsters enter the assembly hall.
>again from yuva, when lallan shoots his brother gopal.
>one more from yuva, when michael and his people go to gopal’s house. the way gopal’s behavior changes is priceless.
>swades, apart from the scene mentioned in the post, the ‘main nahin maanta ki hamara desh mahaan hai…’ scene. what dialogue yaar.
ab sochne baith raha hoon to bahot saare scenes aa rahe hain yaar dimaag mein. lekin itne pe hi chodd deta hoon, nahin to post se bada mera comment ho jayega. ;)
Thank you guys for all your additions!
@Himanshu: Would look forward to your list!
@ Kishalay: Yes, I do remember that scene from The Last Lear too! Very intelligent writing. Have not seen Dasvidaniya. SInce so many people have mentioned that scene, I guess I better see it soon! You bet we are proud of Hindi Films!
@ Sammy: Bhiku getting shot was what I originally intended to write then I thought I liked this one much better. Sadma climax rocked too!
@Sourav: Stupid me! Really, how could I forget JBDY?! Damn! It must have been one of those scenes that I remembered after finishing the article!
@Amit: Exactly what I thought to. It’s when I began writing that I realised ki “Yaar, saala bahot saare scenes hai! Which ones to write about and which ones to leave?!” Hence, the part II
Very nice list.
Now I wanna watch again Swades, DCH and Yuva
there are also memoarable ones in -sarfarosh directed by john matthan,rang de basanti directed by rakyesh mehra,ghajini directed by murugudoss,ghulam dircted by vikram bhatt,taare zameen par directed by aamir khan,jane tu ya jane na directed by abbas tyrewala…infact every hit fil hone ore many scenes to remember.
to carry home post theatre/hall
@ Asmi: You bet! Some of these films you can just watch over and over again!
@Syed: I appreciate your having added your fav films. But I love films without Aamir too ;) I totally disliked Ghajini so wouldnt mention any scene from there.
There are so many other films – Pyaasa, Black Friday, Sarfarosh, JBDY, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, HKA, Bhoot (mirror scene) and God knows how many more! I guess I could write a book on it!
Hi
let me add one more scene..
climax of ZINDA: when john tells whole story to Sanjay and then sajay realises y did he prison so many days..the scene was good…
Good writing. You should write more here.
Thanks Chinna.
@Indraneel: Thank you! I will.. I really want to. Will learn to squeeze out time more often!
Arati, good post, quite a lot of scenes r there.
Anand: Climax scene, goosebump inducing.
Satya: Cop interrogating suspect in the jail.
Black Friday: Is baar allah humarein Saath mein hai.
Just a sample of scenes, this wud be a never ending list for me.
@ Magik: Thanks for the link. I just read it. Was very interesting.. Hell, yes! Cinema dialogues unknowingly seep into our lives. OUR meaning moronic cinephiles like you and me. But who’s complaining??! Like, when my brother was applying for his Green Card, the entire gang at his office used to wake up with “Baar baar haan, bolo yaar haan.. apni jeet ho, unki haar haan” It was their anthem for months! Bhuvan’s task seemed far less daunting!
@Ratnakar:: Thanks.. I like these scenes too.. Yeah, Anand’s climax, even the thought of it and “Maut ek kavita hai” give me the chills.. I am sure all our lists are never ending. But its just so much fun discussing them with so many movie buffs! It’s surprising how many people agree with you and even disagree! I am surprised to find so many scenes that came to my mind but I couldnt accomodate, mentioned by others. Amazing, how cinema binds.
Awesome writing
I feel like watching all the movies you mentioned once again for the nth time. I too feel SRK was not used by many directors. I strongly believe he has more potential and talent than Aamir to give awesome performances. But he lags behind Aamir by doing more run of the mill stuffs.
Here are the scenes which I like.
Kabhi haan kabhi naa, climax, during the wedding ceremony, the ring is lost, and SRK finds it, but he pretends as if he has not found it when Anna asks him if the ring was found, no dialogues just expressions of SRK, showing his pain.
DCH. Apart from the one already mentioned, I also like, Aamir calling up Akshay’s house instead of calling up Saif. And then Aamir calling up his dad and crying.
Bombay. The scene where Nasser and one of the kids, return back from the temple, and then when they are encountered by the muslim agitators, the kid quickly erases the religious safron powder on Nasser’s forehead.
Lage Raho – Munna apologising with Circuit..
Swades – There are lots of moments in the movie which stays throughout. The dialogue ‘Main nahi maanta bharat mahaan hai’ really awesome… The first time, there is electricity in the village.. lot more scenes… the scene when SRK tells his boss that he is going back to india, his boss says ‘Go light your lamp’. Awesome.
RDB – Aamir breaking into tears…
and when has Arati V turned into Arati R and arrived in Mumbai..if that confirms..then Congrats!!
@ Manju: Thank you! I love all the ones you mentioned too. I strongly believe SRK has far more potential than Aamir. Am so glad we are on the same page on that one! But yes, Aamir is doing a much better job of picking up scripts, filmmakers and films! That Swades scene you mentioned is amazing.. But this water one totally shook me!
@Indraneel: Sorry to disappoint you, but I am another Arati and have always been Arati R ;)
there is a scene from nayagan (tamil film) that is still so gut wrenching. This is the scene where Kamal goes to meet his daughter and realizes he is a grand father. One of the most powerful scenes I have seen in cinema and Kamal’s finest moments.
the scene in ddlj where srk and kajol meet after many years…the awkwardness was portrayed beautifully with only mannerisms…all srk manages to utter in a questioning manner was ’saree’
oops….galti se mistake ho gaya…not ddlj but k2h2
@Ramesh, that scene in Nayagan is a classic. Kamal deserved a national award just for his expressions for that scene, and he did get it
@18
A book is not a bad idea – quite seriously!! A book on Bollywood’s most memorable scenes, with contributions by PFC, and edited by Arati Raval.
How hard would it to be have it compiled and published?
On a less tangential note, a few Khosla Ka Ghosla scenes have got to be there! The introductory scene for one (”… idhar Sachin ka six, aur woh wahan ludke pade hue the”). The rickshaw scene at the end (Cherry and Asif exclaiming “Jai Mata Di”)
Thank you people!
@Pratik: I think its a great idea too. Would write to someone on PFC and see what we can do! You never know..
@Sudip: Yes, I loove that scene in KKHH too. Was really tempted to write it down. But I thought there were (two) many SRK moments on the list already ;)
@Ramesh: I am sure Kamal must have rocked in that one. Unfortunately, haven’t been able to see the Tamil version yet. Would try doing it soon.
@ Arati..Hope part II has Jaane bhi do yaaron..:)
Yes, Sourav! I’ll take some memory pills.. Kicking myself for having forgotten the lovely Mahabharat meets Mughal dynasty!
I would like to add one scene from the recent TZP –
the one in which Mr Awasthi comes to meet Nikumbh sir to show off how much analysis /research he has done for his child & to show him that how much he cares….
Remember the stress on the word “Khayaal” in the dialogue – “Taaki aap yeh naa samjhe ke hum apne bachche kaa KHAYAAL nahin rakhte”
Then comes a superb & befitting reply from Nikumbh sir saying that Mr & mrs Awasthi must also browse the net for a certain interesting tribe in Africa who when want to destroy the forest or even a certain tree, they first ritually go & curse it to the hilt……..and then the tree slowly dies all by itself….
And suddenly thereafter is a long pause & the cinematic brilliance lies in the fact that both, the viewers & Mr. Awasthi gets Nikumbh sir’s point in the same moment!!!!! WOW!!!
Haven’t we seen parents cursing their kids to motivate them to do better (Ironically)…..
Yes, it was in-your-face, yes, it was filmy…..but more thn that….it was sheer cinematic brilliance!!!
Also to mention
* - The chaotic Mahabharat scene in Jaane Bhee Do Yaaron,
* - Amitabh’s dying scene in Sholay
* - Angry Amitabh bashing the local police officer in Khakee about what Police can really do, also depicting the helplessness of a committed officer in a weird situation while the others are simply dumb-struck at the outburst of an otherwise soft-spoken person.
* - Sadma’s climax scene
* - Scene from Yuva where Rani Mukerjee (Forgot her characters’ name) tells a dumb-struck Lallan that she has got their child aborted. See it for Lallan’s reaction thereafter.
* - Abbaji (Pankaj Kapur) ruthlessly stuffing paan in one of the characters’ mouth & also the famous Mcbaeth scene transformed into cinema fantastically in which Maqbool sees the patches of blood everywhere around him after killing Abbaji who trusted him enormously. What expressions for depicting the horrific guilt of braeking someone’s trust in that one moment of madness.
* - Namesake’s airport scene in which Mr Ganguly, standing in a que for the boarding pass, bids goodbye to his wife while no-one (including the viewers) realizes that she’ll never be able to see him alive again. watch it for the Sheer simplicity & non-filmy elements in the scene. Also the scene where Gogol enetrs the room that his father (who just passed away) had slept last…and hugs the undone bedsheet & stares at his chappals beneath the cot, feeling his real worth for the first time in life….now, when he’s not around anymore & Gogol changes…forever!!! Fantabulous!!!!
* The whole song sequence (Bharam bhaanp ke…sharam dhaanp ke…) where Aditya Srivastava roams around, hiding from everyone, frustrated, disgusted & helpless. See it for his helplessness in the scene where his money is finishing fast & he goes to a cheap lodge. The lodge owner tells him that in 50 Rs he’ll only get the space on the floor to sleep. He says- “Jagah hai naa?? Chalega.” and then u see him tossing & turning on the floor, irritated by the mosquitoes looming around & then he just gives up & sits down throwing his bag (That he uses as pillow) in disgust, crying. Also, the scene where Rakesh Maria shows him the mirror, that he’s a fool actually, who got carried away & spoilt his future. Memon used people like him, took his revenge & ran away….and here he is facing the hell thereafter. Fantastic dialogues, zabardast performances!!!!
There are many others too…..but i also have to stop writing now, otherwise this mail will become never ending…..
@Arati
Loved ur writing & that idea of getting a book published with contributions from PFC authors, is brilliant!!! Try 4 it….I think, i always comment last on the posts published!!!! Haha!!! Never mind…as long as i get to xpress myself here….
Most of my scenes are covered.
Few more:
RDB: The whole Khoon Chala sequence. Love it to the core. Especially the beginning when Atul Kulkarin is shocked and looks towards Kunal Kapoor.
Dil Se: The end sequence beginning from the time Aman Varma reaches the old fort. That was my first non-conventional mainstream movie ending.
Kareeb: In the end Bheegelal acts crazy and then the real story about lottery is told. Awesome! For a change, the hero had nothing to do in a climax.
Ghulam: When Ronnie says “Koi Ghulam baghavat par utar aaya hain”
Baazigar: When Ajay says to Chopra “Udane ki baat parinde kiya karte hain,toote huye par nahi”
Parinda: When Anil’s friend (Khopdi of Nukkad) kills himself so that Anil is part of the gang.
Company: When Malik and Chandu are at war, the telephone rings in all the buildings of Mumbai. Awesome!
@ Vishesh
I also looooooove tht Kareeb scene…specially the part where the elder brother doesn’t u’stnd anything…His father asks him “wht would happen if the police gets to know e’thn…where would we land up???” and Bheegelal prompts him “Jail bolo jail….”Hahaha!!! Guess tht was the best role that johny lever got to play.
Also, the name of “khopdi of nukkad” is Sameer Kakkad.
Hey Aarti,
Nice post. I felt a bit moist eyed on the mention of the scenes from Vaastav, DCH and Swades. Really powerful stuff there.
@Abhishek: Thank you so much! That was some list there! I love all those scenes too, specially the one from Black Friday and TZP. Khopdi has got so immortalised that Sameer Kakkad has been forgotten. An irony for an actor,
@Vishesh: Thanks! Great scenes there too! I loooved Dil Se’s ending. What an amazing film and what a lump-in-the-throat ending!!
@CrimZin: Thank you! I love those scenes. Swades is amongst my top 10 films of all time.
Nice post aarti….waiting of second part…
saw Sarkar on TV yesterday, and was remindd of 2 of my favorite scenes from Sarkar and Sarkar Raj.
the whole of sarkar has memorable scenes, but the one that impressed me the most was
>Sarkar – when shankar kills rashid.
>Sarkar Raj – when tanisha’s car blows up.
Sai Paranjpye’s Katha-Naseer’s acting when he realizes that Deepti’s parents came to seek his help for Deepthi’s marriage to Farooq.This is what acting is all about
Gulzr’s Achanak-Expression on Iftiker’s face when he meets Vinod khanna before his execution
@Amit: Yup, liked parts or Sarkar. The Rashid murder was damn good
@Sharath: I havent seen Achanak.. Got to see it soon.. Heard loads about it!!
arati – good post. great flow. in those words i see a screen writer lurking in somewhere. looking forward to many more such posts from your pen/pc. oh, and welcome to PFC.
