if the director thinked like a designer.....

(PS: Have finished up the ipad and designer post. This post kinda links on from that post)

same song, 2 different movies.

This song, "O Re Piya" was first used in the Hindi movie, "Aaja Nachle". It is later used by the late Yasmin Ahmad for a scene in her movie, "Talentime".

The same song is used in two different movies. Though the song is very much heartachingly beautiful, both films used it very differently to develop the story.

If you are to think like a designer, which way would you use it?

(A) As in Aaja Nachle



(b) As in Talentime (6:25 onwards)


(The last few seconds of the song extends to this clip)

<3 Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

I found the symbolic strawberry offering very painful, in Talentime. I know the song was originally used in another movie, but for better or worse, O Re Piya will always be associated with Talentime and Yasmin Ahmad in my mind.

Such a beautiful, beautiful movie.
