Real Talk : Never forget that Karisma acted out, right about now, because of her deep-seated need to seek validation from a man (Rahul) who was too full of himself to ever realise that he was causing potential damage to a girl with a history of abandonment. When you are trying to reach for that T.V remote without losing the warmth of your comfy bed.ġ3. You and another female friend - *flip hair and storm out of the room*ġ2. Sexist man : Men are hard-wired to protect women because women have been proven to be anatomically weaker. Girls, starting today, synchronised hair flip is the only way you will shut down mansplaining. More synchronised hair-flips…I can’t even…ġ1. When you get that sweet itch in the metro and, god knows, you need to get it.ġ0. I need a cropped jacket just like Karisma’s so that I can unzip it with the same amount of savagery.Ĩ. This is the dance move to bust out when you pretend to be all jazz on the outside, but you are 100% Saroj Khan on the inside.ħ. Drunk Titanic pose, Drunk Titanic pose, Drunk Titanic pose, Drunk Titanic pose, Drunk Titanic poseĦ. Titanic pose, Titanic pose, Titanic pose, Titanic pose, Titanic poseĥ. Jazz hands should officially be your comeback for everything.Ĥ. Seriously though, how cool were those 90s sweat headbands?ģ. Face it, these are the most gender-fluid background dancers Bollywood has ever seen.Ģ. Men were legit wearing onesies, in 1996, and no one batted an eyelid. As Indians, we have officially regressed. Should you read further, I advise you to use jazz hands for these 25 important observations.ġ. I decided to re-watch the movie, and particularly the much-revered three minutes of this dance routine, following which I had a lot of feelings. Long story short, it was the perfect scenario for one woman pulling the other down. Sceptics will also say that it was Karisma’s character that was visibly more miffed while whipping up those mean moves.
It was fuelled by their love for the male lead, Rahul, aka Shah Rukh Khan. Growing up, we believed the routine to be a cold war between the two characters portrayed by Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor.
What is also absolutely unforgettable and mimicked by all of us, is the dance sequence between Karisma Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit. The movie can still be hailed as the OG pop culture film with its body-hugging sweatsuits, aerobics-gear and Shiamak Davar’s dance troops. Now, 20 years later, nothing’s changed, except that the movie cannot escape the modern-day scanner, rightfully deployed by the ongoing dialogue around the depiction of women in Indian cinema. 20 years ago, Dil To Pagal Hai was the coolest movie to have happened to Bollywood, and our soon-to-be millennial hearts.
