Bollywood's 50 Most Memorable Scenes Of All Time - Page 2

Mr India (1987): Bollywood had seen innumerable villains in the past but Mogambo in Mr. India was class apart. Who can forget the scene where he moves his hands on a glass bowl and says 'Mogambo Khush Hua'.

Shakti (1982): Ramesh Sippy's 'Shakti' paired the two biggest superstars of Bollywood-Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bahchan as father and son. During the climax of the film, Police officer Dilip Kumar chases his outlawed son Amitabh Bachchan on the runway and eventually shoots him. The dramatic dialogues between an outlawed son dying in his father's arms makes this a poignant one in the film.

Waqt (1965): Raaj Kumar chewed the words well before speaking, but this process added an enigmatic charm to his dialogue. This was Yash Chopra's third film as director, so even he was evolving as a storyteller. Can you guess the dialogue? "Chinoy seth, jinke apne ghar sheeshe ke hon woh doosron par pathar nahi phenka karte."

.

Koshish (1972): Gulzar's heart-touching tale of a differently abled couple (Sanjeev Kumar, Jaya Bachchan) gets a bit lighter but more profound in the scene where the two want a name for their newly born child. It is multi-layered and showcases several emotions in just a span of some minutes.

Damini (1993): One of Sunny Deol's best performance till date(he even got the National Award in the Best Supporting Actor category), Rajkumar Santoshi's 'Damini' was high voltage drama on justice denied to a rape victim and how a woman who wants to speak out the truth is termed medically unstable by the perpetrators. The scene where an exasperated lawyer shouts "Tareekh par tareekh milti rahi hai, lekin insaaf nahi mila" highlights the pathetic condition of the country's judiciary.

Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994): Madhuri Dixit's bare back inspired scholars and film critics to decode the mystery of her magical influence on the film enthusiasts. The scene in which Salman Khan gently hits her with a flower gets a place in our list simply because of its emotion evoking capacity.

Parinda (1989): In Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 'Parinda', just married couple Karan(Anil Kapoor) and Paro( Madhuri Dixit)are shot dead on their wedding night by rival gang headed by Anna Seth (Nana Patekar).

Karma (1986): Dr Dang (Anupam Kher) is no ordinary man who could be slapped by anyone, not even by Dada Thakur (Dilip Kumar). Dang made up his mind about a ruthless revenge just because of this slap. This powerful scene directed by Subhash Ghai is a lesson in acting for newcomers.

Mirch Masala (1987): Smita Patil's acting calibre doesn't need any certificate but the climax of 'Mirch Masala' is probably her best. She turned a personal rebellion into a symbol which stood against all kinds of suppression. Ketan Mehta was the director.

Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981): Who wouldn't have cried when Vasu (Kamal Haasan) and Sapna (Rati Agnihotri) die in the climax of K Balachander's film! Their tragic deaths in the end gave the film and the issue of discrimination on the basis of language a whole new dimension.

Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989): Cute, innocent romance-that's what 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' was all about. Remember the scene where Salman Khan gifts new friend Bhagyashree a cap and she says "Thank you" to which Salman promptly says "Dosti ka ek usool hai, no sorry, no thank you"? That dialogue became the underlying theme of the film and was used by innumerable lovers later on.

Vaastav (1999): After becoming a gangster, Raghu walks in to meet his family and shows off his wealth. Gifts his mother a saree and shows off the various gold chains around his neck and decalres "50 tola!"

Om Shanti Om (2007): Ek chutki sindoor ki keemat tum kya jano Ramesh babu. It was Deepika Padukone's first film but the kind of confidence she displayed in this scene was amazing in every sense. Farah Khan's film worked at the box office due to such scenes.

Sarkar (2005): The opening scene of 'Sarkar' is like a guide to character placement in a film. RGV wanted Big B to come up with nuanced acting but what the big man did was simply superb. It might be inspired from 'The Godfather' but Amitabh Bachchan made it look entirely Indian.

Kahaani (2012): Bob Biswas (Saswata Chatterjee) was not your usual criminal who would just come and hit you. He will play with you till the ultimate moments. Vidya Bagchi (Vidya Balan) learnt it the hard way and the viewers became skeptical towards otherwise very gentle looking people forever.
