Techni-color


Where are the days with the stereo-type dialogues,
and when heart shaped goggles were in vogue?
When the mother was kidnapped by the bald villain,
and bullets were fired, in a fight, for fun.

Where are the evergreen 'Kutte's and 'Kaminey's,
And the long nahiiiiiiiiii that her mother says...
'Mar jane de mujhe par inhe kuch nahi batana'
'Saat phero ka matlab hai maine tujhe janmo ke liye pati maana!'

Oh I miss those days and the rounded heroines,
and how at the end the hero always wins.
The actress gives a villain one tight slap,
and then hero rescues the girl from the gangster's trap.

There's a widowed mother draped in a white saree,
and a mentally challenged woman addressed as 'Bechari'.
Flowers and blurs were used to show intimacy,
1 typical dialogue 'Ladki haansi matlab phansi'

I miss those movies though there was nothing new,
As the girl feels shy to say 'I love you'
Technicolor was a golden era of the history of Cinema,
When the strongest word of the movie was 'Maa'
