This morning I saw Yaadon ki bharaat about for 10 minutes. It was gripping, funny, serious, had a turning point and a high-drama climax all put together.
The scene was the last song of family re-union with Tariq holding the guitar stem so tight with a clenched fist in one hand and slapping thundering riffs with the other. The scene depicting Dharmendra holding on to the pillar with his face getting distorted with all sorts of emotions - crying in grief and smiling in happiness is kind of cemented in our memory. Arora, the second brother, running towards his bro with over-exaggerated strides is one scene which used to bring tears to warring brothers in a chawl.
Ajith always suited and with glares which could pass today as the latest style was just classy. I was told, he was particular about the dress code for his side kicks too.
Most hilarious is when dhammu and his side kick call on all the shoe shops to find out who has bought a pair of shoes with size 8 for right and 9 for left. I used to wonder then, Ajith being so rich he could actually buy a pair each of 8 and 9. I got a sharp rap on my head from someone for being stupid.
