The new style statement of a leading Bollywood hero appearing in just a micro brief has set the new standards of dressing for the macho man. I wonder if we will get to see more of these from the new age hero in times to come. Yes, I am talking about the scene where the hero is shown being so happy and gay with just a brief while walking in an international city getting exposed to the cold climate with a well dressed partner (maybe a better dressed partner). It looked more like a shoot for advertisement.
I recall when Emraan Hashmi did the first "on-screen multiple long kissing scenes" the country said OMG this was never done before and that was not long back, today one of the pre-requisites of any Bollywood movie is to smooch and each one does it in different places and styles that most times the audience feel so pukish to watch and to their luck a popcorn basket is ready in front of them.
Next time, be careful before you call your team for a de-briefing session or for that matter when you ask them to give you a brief. You may lbw ooked at by your colleagues not as a "befikre" hero but a hero who is "befikre"
Karan Johar left no stone unturned when it came to Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. He is known for shooting in exotic locales and he kept his promise by taking us to London, Vienna, India and Paris. The Paris bit was definitely fun as we saw Anushka fulfil her Bollywood fantasies by dancing on a snow-covered mountain clad in a chiffon sari with Ranbir Kapoor. Rather than showcasing the usual suspects, we saw a different side of Paris and even an Airbnb room with quirky wallpaper and some its nightclubs.
Another film that has Paris in its title. This movie was a love story between Ali Zafar and Aditi Rao Hydari who meet in London, fall in love and decide to meet again six months later. Their journey goes to New York and Paris as well. You will see some hotels, nightlife, sightseeing attractions and vintage shops of Paris in this portion of the film.
This fun, young and peppy movie was shot across different locations in India and abroad thanks to its lead character played by Ranbir Kapoor who was a traveler at heart. We saw the north of India including Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir, the west as it was also shot in Rajasthan and then a bit of Paris as well. Remember the song Ilahi from the film? That was in France and Paris and you can even spot the Eiffel Tower. Even though we only see glimpses of the city, they are shot well and used nicely in the song.
This movie was about teenage love and how a girl and a boy fall in love in school and eventually profess their love in Paris. One of the key points is when the girl tells the boy how she would love to be proposed in Paris next to the Eiffel Tower and in the second half of the film goes their to visit her relatives. The boy surprises her by coming there and eventually proposes her just as she wished. The movie ends with the two kissing with Eiffel Tower in the backdrop. If you love romantic movies and Paris, add this one to your list. It is also called MP3.
One of the first Bollywood movies to have been shot in the city of Paris, An Evening in Paris had Shammi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles. Paris is an integral part of the plot as that is where Sharmila goes to fall in love after she does not fall in love in India. The movie was a superhit and the fascination with Paris started soon after. It was a 1967 release and even today, Paris is one of the top destinations to shoot in for Bollywood films.
