  8. I love Abhishek calling out the whole stalker/gangster feeling of it all! I swear I am getting 50 Shades flashbacks (haven’t seen the movies or read the books, but enough analysis of its horribleness to know everything)

  32. Okay, in case you are lost, in India “coolies” wait at trian platforms and wear red shirts. The fantasy is telling the story of her mistaking him for a coolie and giving him her suitcase, but she is so pretty he goes with it. And then they keep bumping into each other, and slowly slowly LOVE hua.

      • I guess I get motion sickness more than most folks. I’m actually still a little nauseaus from that roundabout. It takes like 10 minutes to feel normal again.

  36. I know it is a Yash Raj stable to show the places in grandeur, but somehow this movie just oozes with architectural appreciation and places to visit nature with all its shots

      • Well, it is their Holy Colour the same way blue is for Christianity and saffron is for Hinduism and Buddhism.

        Though in the scene I was referring to one of the Sikh men was wearing a mint green turban and the other one was wearing a yellow one. Both colours came together in Abhishek’s and the other guy’s (didn’t catch the name) shirts

        • I’m getting a religious education. I had no idea religions had holy colours. (I’m American, my computer keeps telling me I spelled color wrong). Why do Hinduism and Buddhism share a colour? You don’t actually have to answer that, but I’ll probably wonder for a while as I doubt it is a quick internet search.

          • Not sure about why Green is the symbol for Islam, but saffron/orange/whatever is generally a color of India, thus Hinduism. And Buddhism comes from Hinduism.

            In the present day, saffron/orange/whatever is the most common symbol of Hindu extremists. Which brings us to politics, so we will stop there.

          • It is a complicated thing. But Christianity has the whole blue associating with the Virgin Mary thing and its association with purity. See every painting of the Virgin Mary in any church or cathedral and she will be is the best green dress and veil apart from the other women. Also, I suppose in ancient times when Christianity was in its infancy they used a fish to mark their graves that they were Christians and that comes with its own water = blue = holy = pure associations.

            Hinduism and Buddhism use it – after doing a quick go-to Wikipedia – because it was used as an offering in the old days and its association with sacrifice, abstinence ect. Fun fact! In ancient times it was also an aphrodisiac!

            Here is a quote from Wikipedia for why it is used in Islam:
            “According to tradition, the robe and banner of Muhammad were green, and according to the Koran (XVIII, 31 and LXXVI, 21), those fortunate enough to live in paradise wear green silk robes. Muhammad is quoted in a hadith as saying that “water, greenery, and a beautiful face” were three universally good things.”

            Hope that helped!

    • Yes! And that alone is a cute idea, lying about being engaged as part of avoiding a train station pick-up, but I adore the way the fantasy lies they told are so elaborate and all that.
