These 8 Minute Details From Hindi Movies Will Make You Appreciate Bollywood Even More

The power of a story lies in it’s details. An exceptional eye to detail can make a film/story or any experience last for an eternity.

For the same reason some of the Bollywood movies have stood out from the rest and have given us moments to remember.  Our friends at Quora shared which is the one detail about a bollywood movie they love the most and we couldn’t agree more with them.
 

1. In the movie ‘Bahubali’ lyricist Madam Karky developed an original language with more than 700 words for the tribe Kalakeya.

The language is called Kilikili and it not only has 700 words but also 4 dozen grammatical rules. It is amazing to see how directors take so much pain to develop a language rather than making people believe that a story set centuries ago would have people communicating in the same dialect as ours. It’s the details that makes you believe in the story.
 

2. In the Movie ‘Tamasha’ Ranbir Kapoor’s character, Ved is an avid story lover and when Deepika is with him in Corsica, she finds a book in his room.

Implying that Ved might have just started reading the book. A few scenes later when it’s time for them to bid adieu to their little adventure, look closer at the red circle in the picture below.

An inclination to such small details shows the director’s love for the character as by strategically placing the book there is absolutely nothing that has been stolen from Ved’s personality.
 

3. The guy beside Shahrukh Khan in his cameo in Farhan starer ‘Luck By Chance’, is his very old friend. This happened for a reason.

Shahrukh Khan appeared in the movie ‘Luck By Chance’ in the scene where he advices Farhan Akhtar to keep his old friends together especially those who stood by in the bad times. And that is exactly why Mushtaq Khan is seen beside King Khan, who is not only a very old buddy but also has written quite a few books on him. Such detail makes you want to believe that the filmmaker means the real deal.
 

4. In the movie ‘Queen’ (song Kinaare), Rani is seen running through the streets realizing that she is truly happy there is a little detail of perfection here.

The store she runs by, there is a sign that says, “De Vrijheid”, which is Dutch for Freedom. It is at this moment that Rani has realized that she is free and that is what adds depth to the scene.
 

5. In the introductory scene of the movie ‘Masaan’ there is a spectacular detail. Vishal’s character Deepak Choudhry, belongs to a lower middle class family and they earn money by burning corpses.

In the scene here, he goes to a ghat and lights up a twig and later he is shown lighting up the gas in the kitchen with the same twig. Words wouldn’t suffice as to what this one scene has given to the movie.
 

6. In the song ‘Emotional Attyachar’ from the movie ‘Dev D’, there is a line where the leads sing “1, 2, 3, 4,….6” and skip 5. Well, it wasn’t just supposed to be funny.

Anuragh Kashyap’s works on stories that are usually out of the box and do not agree with generic mass who likes predictable plots. And this one line here in particular is meant to be a satire. One of Kashyap’s films called, “Paanch”, was not approved by the censor board and remains unreleased till date. That’s why they eat up five in the lyrics, seems legit.
 

7. Akshay Kumar starer ‘Special 26’ is set in the 1980’s and their attention to detail will actually leave you dumbfounded.

In the 1980’s the number plates on the vehicles would start with three letters (DIA, CTP, MTP). It was in the late 1889 that the new numbering system, that is used today came into being. Every car used in the movie has been number plated accordingly. Now it wouldn’t be such a big deal if they would have skipped that but the authenticity of the story is established in details like these, won’t you agree?
 

8. In the biopic ‘Sarabjit’, wherever his wife Sukhpreet played by Richa Chadda or sister Dalbir Kaur played by Aishwarya Rai are seen holding photographs or posters of Sarabjit..

they are all made with Sarabjit’s real pictures and not Randeep Hooda’s pictures. This details stands out in the movie a lot of times and adds the much needed feel.
