Aasman ke Paar...

I guess this is the flavour of the month....Shankar Mahadevan is crooning आसमान के पार from Rockford. This takes me back even earlier than पिया हाजी अली . Fresh romance. The thrill of dates...Suburban Mumbai aint kind enough...and I aint cheezy enough for the Bandstands or the SeaFaces...Movies were a convenient intermediate option. The cool comfort of the cinehalls....plus the privacy afforded by the dark...Ironically though, what i remember most from this movie is 2 7th graders walking out of the theater in front of us... eyes gleaming at having seen something that they identified with...and reciting a scandalous line from the movie...chuckling...only to realise couple seconds later that their little enjoyment is being overheard by someone and then stiffening up and rushing away from the embarassment as soon as possible.
