Bollywood Break: Parineeta.

From my favorite film of the 21st, Parineeta. Angelic Shreya Ghoshal in a duet with Sonu Nigam.

The lyrics are quite melancholy. I love the simple poetry of the chorus:

phuul phuul bha.nwara dole
The flowers and bees dance together
man me.n guu.njii terii yaad
and memories of you echo in my heart
baag me.n papiiha bole
The cuckoo cries out in the garden,
piihu piihu piiyu kahaan
"Pihu, pihu, where is my beloved?"

Not only is it one of my favorite songs but this shot of Vidya Balan

Just makes my heart melt every time. The only other shot that has done that is this one of Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face:

sigh....
