Trivia Post 9

Random observations:

1. These two scenes remind me of each other. Mothers talking about their past lovers in Fitoor and Barfi!
2. Lagaan. Maybe the only time in any film where we see a mention of Radha's husband Anay. 

3. In Kalank, the movie theater plays a film produced and directed by Protima Das Gupta, one of the earliest female film producers in Indian cinema. The theater is playing her film Chhamia whose poster can also be seen.
4. Ayan and pillars in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
5. In the song Aaja Maahiya from Fiza, it can be felt that the places where it is shot have some kind of a risk—Leaning at the edge of the roof, standing on the top of a ship, dangling from a pillar, standing in the middle of running traffic, and dancing on a billboard stand.
6. Another bench scene in another Dharma film—Student of the Year 2.
7. "Yaadon ke hisaab lagane se unke mol kam ho jaate hain."—Shagufta Rizvi, Heroine
8. "Rishton ko hamesha baandh ke nahi rakh sakte. Kabhi saath dete hai, toh kabhi nahi. Bas unhe in nibhaane ka sirf ek hi tareeka hota hai—pyaar."—Maya, We Are Family
9. In Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, Federico Fellini and Emir Kusturica mark their presence subtly. 
11. Aahat font in Badhaai Ho
12. In Kedarnath, one notable thing is the names of the characters. Sara Ali Khan is named Mandakini after the river Ganga and Nishant Dahiya is her suitor who has a slightly odd name Kullu. Ganga never passes through Kullu in Himachal Pradesh, so we know they will never be together. Also, similar dialogues related to rooh (soul) in the film. 
Dialogue of the Day:

"Beeta hua kal aaj hamare beech tabhi aata hai, jab hum aaj ko poori tarah jee nahi paate."
—Amar, Anubhav

  1. The Trivia Posts are the best. Like the chocolate sprinkles on top of an ice-cream, never fails to leave me wonder "HOW" and a smile that can't be replaced. In short, your observation skills are to die for. MashaAllah!
