Cast Cast A Shade





After a tiring three-day session over the weekend, I saw this picture on a billboard on way back home. It was for an ad for Lloyd air conditioner. The thought of an AC cooled me down, alright, but the vibrance that Deepika emitted was cooler. It may be the coolest sight I’ve had for a few days then. The sparkling smile, which very few have, and the spark in the eyes tell a different story. More than the endorsement for the air conditioner.

Co-incidentally, I stumbled upon this picture while browsing for songs on music sites. And, suddenly, some dots started connecting themselves, the emergent form was unnoticed hitherto. And this was even cooler. It would be wrong to say the damsels were hot! No, they were cool. In these pictures.

I might have seen this picture from the Hindi movie Silsila (1981), innumerable times at its time. It just looked ordinary then, despite Yash Chopra pulling off a coup of sorts with the cast. The ensemble cast an interesting shade to the plot. A classic example of love that cannot be captured in a can of film reels.

The two pictures say that one need not enact love while with the loved one. It just shows. Deepika’s smile has a million fans, but this is just natural. Even men love Amitabh, but none can embrace him like Rekha did in this one.

The language that is not auditory is the body language. It can be only seen. And it shows numerous stories. And it doesn’t lie. The stories don’t lie. It’s the science having both chemistry and biology.
