My ultimate all-time favorite SRK movie.
This is Mani Ratnam's best work without a doubt IMO.
Romance was subtle, mature, realistic and epic.
All characters so well etched out.
Story, script and screenplay so flawless.
Movie is gripping from the first frame to the last.
Performances -
SRK - Intensity in his eyes just blew my mind off. Totally restrained. His one of the best acts.
Manisha - I could feel her anguish throughout the movie. Her best act by a distance.
PZ - Fabulous screen presence for her first movie.
Locales and Cinematography - Kashmir and Delhi Amazing!
Music - Rahman's best for me ( yes better than Bombay and Roja ) and SRK's best for me ( yes better than Pardes, KHNH, DDLJ, DTPH ) and Gulzar's best for me ( yes better than Maachis )
Chaiya chaiya is an iconic song in Indian cinematic history for the way it was picturized on top of a train and the brilliant lyrics.
My fav song - impossible to choose one but still..
aye ajnabi tu bhi kahin
aawaz de kahin se
My fav scenes -
almost every scene is close to my heart
but the initial platform scene where he first sees her and brings tea for her in the rain..
then the night scene in the open in Ladakh where they come so close yet so far (that's like the most romantic thing ever shown on celluloid) when he says what he hates and loves the most about her is her eyes and all and then they keep looking into each other's eyes..
then the scene on the rooftop when he places the earphones in her ears and they again come so close yet so far..
*goosebumps*
My fav dialogue -
Meghna : aakhir tum jaante kya ho mere baare mein
Amar : kuch nahi..
sirf yeh ki main tumhe chahta hun..
dil se..
