Valentine Week - 3

I didn’t want to help my friends when I asked my Valentine week question by giving examples. I just wanted to know how they react, really explore how they perceive little things in relationships to be. But movies provide hell lot of instances to derive from. I am jotting down a few that came across my mind today. These are only one of the many things that define the chemistry.

Khushi (Telugu): The scene where the hero declines to lift the shirt of heroine for an injection. Have you seen the look on the heroine’s face? That’s what I am talking about, attraction. Did she know prior hand that she likes a guy who would do so? No, its just the moment and a revelation about the importance he gives to her.

Mirchi (Telugu): Have you seen the short scene of Prabhas observing Anushka in the middle of a song where she serves his father? A girl who cares about the people around her is desirable to him and that moment he felt her personality.

Jab We Met (Hindi): Remember the scene on the terrace where Geet and Aditya will be hiding before the elopement? Geet gives her philosophy behind acting according to her heart. Aditya did see her crazy side before, did enjoy her innocence and childishness. But knowing where all this comes from makes a greater impact in that scene.

27 Dresses (Hollywood): When all she hears all day is requests and demands, when suddenly someone tells her its okay to say no, the girl definitely feels more comfortable with that someone.

Seducing Mr. Perfect (Korean): Sometimes, hearing someone say what we wanted to hear makes all the difference. Remember the scene after the heroine dumps her beau and talks to the hero? The minute he utters exactly the words that ran in her head, she gives a sweet smile. However, the moment he actually yells at her out of concern leads to stronger feelings.

Jab Harry Met Sejal (Hindi): No matter what, I am Shah rukh fan and his romantic expressions are world-renowned. But this one is ultra special. The scene where the couple hide behind the windows of a boat to escape from the goons, the expression on Shah rukh face, its memorable. Not a word is spoken but his feelings are crystal clear. There is absolutely nothing significant happening there but the proximity, her dependency on him overpowers the dire situation too in his mind.
