Trivia Post 14

I am working on another post which will take some time as I am so slow :| Putting some trivia notes from the last few weeks.

1. I love this shot from Band Baaja Baaraat.

2. The names of the people in the merit list from Main Hoon Na are the people who have worked in the film.

3. The Hindi credits in Sai Paranjpye's Katha.

4. The baby featured in the Murphy radio ad went on to marry Mandakini.

5. Ordering food without knowing what it is in Queen and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

6. A fan-made poster of Maqbool put up by Tabu on her Instagram.

7. The train number is 377 after Section 377 in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.

8. In the interview of Kareena Kapoor with Film Companion, we can see a still from Parineeta in her home.

9. Split mirror scenes in Pari, Tamasha, and Talaash.

10. the first episode of Dekh Bhai Dekh, Tarun Mansukhani makes an appeearance. 

11. Some notes on the poetry in Ujda Chaman where the lead character Chaman (played by Sunny Singh) is a Hindi professor.

• Chaman teaches Shakti Aur Kshama by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar where the poet writes about how one loses his machismo when he tolerates atrocities.
  
  

• When Chaman tries a new wig, he teaches about 'Veer Ras' in his class. When things did not work out in his life, he teaches, Suryakant Tripathi Nirala’s Dukhta Rehta Ab Jeewan.
  दुखता रहता है अब जीवन, पतझड़ का जैसा वन-उपवन |
  
  
• Kabir’s Doha: जब मैं था तब हरि नहीं अब हरि है मैं नाहीं । प्रेम गली अति सांकरी जामें दो न समाहीं ॥ Only when one lets go of their ego (I—मैं), he can find God. In the lanes of love, the two cannot stay together, mirroring Chaman’s life where he decides to let go of his own ego.
