Also, the harmony of this frame is simply wow. Gulzar says it best: ' Woh jo doodhdhuli masoom kali.' Manisha Koirala was born to play Meghna. It's a blazing, breathtaking view - every single time. Sivan's camera captures Shah Rukh Khan's eyes furiously and feverishly in Dil Se. The drama of blue, a hint of green and a bold pop of red - three primary hues that Mani Ratnam would pay rich ode to in his multi-narrative Yuva/Aaytha Ezhuthu six years later. Sivan's masterful timing and neat imagination ensures we see light at the end of the tunnel and wizardry right in the middle of it. Here I've handpicked 25 of my favourite shots to elaborate this love for you, direct dil se.Ĭhoreographed by Farah Khan atop a train, the A R Rahman chartbuster Chaiyya Chaiyya, featuring SRK and Malaika Arora, is a thing of beauty. Sivan creates magic on screen his cinematography is a remarkable blend of grandeur and gentleness.Ĭinema is a visual medium and Sivan's sublime telling of Mani Ratnam's doomed romance is an awe-inspiring reflection of it.
I find more to dote on as well as disagree with it.īut one thing remains constant - the wonderment I feel for its fabulous, flawless frames.
comes alive in Mani Ratnam's evocative vision of star-crossed passions even as it struggles around its politics in highlighting the insurgency in north east India.Įvery time I watch Dil Se. Inspired by the Arabic idea of seven shades of love - hub (attraction), uns (infatuation), ishq (love), aqidat (reverence), ibadat (worship), junoon (obsession) and maut (death), Dil Se. Shot by the ingenious Santosh Sivan, this intense love story between a radio journalist (Shah Rukh Khan) and suicide bomber (Manisha Koirala) unravels across Assam, Ladakh and Delhi ensuing in abundant doubt and heartache every time pursuit and purpose lock horns. Stunning, stoic landscapes and luminously lit faces of love are my enduring memory of Mani Ratnam's Dil Se.
