One of the toughest jobs I have had, as a quiz master - to make a clue for this song!

A side note on this clip (Excuse the rant!) - After I settled on this clue, I noticed how beautiful yet unnatural this picture was. What you see in this picture, is a guy's hand and a girl's hand intertwined at their little fingers. But, do you see how the girl's hand has been deliberately twisted away from the picture, so that the entire composition looks more beautiful ? Imagine the same shot with the girl's hand facing the other way - which, I think, is the more natural way someone would have held their hand. It would definitely look less artistic. Now turn your attention, to the guy's hand. Imagine yourself having to do this. More likely than not, you are bound to hold your thumb over the index,main and ring fingers thus extending your little finger out. However, here, the guy has his fingers merely curled so as to look aesthetically appealing.

Now, we can write this off as a co-incidence that just happened because the actors improvised. Or, we could accept the genius of this director who executes the simplest of his shots, with great attention to detail. I chose to do the latter, and I bow my head to this great artist!

  1. Blessings, my good lad! Thanks for posting this on my birthday.

    Had it nailed in less than 3 seconds. This be wedding song from one of U2's fav movies in this language.
    Cracked it by director trademark of the close-up of the babe's bangles.
    The director is basically a painter and had designed pretty much every saree that the girl wears in the movie. Do i really need to name the song?

  1. Good to see the quiz is back.

    "Tadabadithe, porabadithe tappu didduko..."

    What's funny to me now is that in North India, the way to tell if a woman is married is by her bangles. Married women (particularly newly married women) wear these type of red and white bangles. So that's interesting that she's wearing that here.
