25 dazzling frames in Karan Johar movies

May 24, 2022 13:36

Until now, Karan Johar's cinema viewed the world through rose-tinted glasses.
But his segment Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh in the anthology, Bombay Talkies, which talks about repressed homosexuality and sham marriages, marked a complete change of pace and revealed a rare intimacy, complexity and rawness.
And the once-upon-a-time-in-Bombay quality of this subdued frame, concealing one's bottled up deception, another's comfort in denial is hardly the stuff of happily ever after.

On his 50th birthday on May 25, Sukanya Verma/Rediff.com celebrates the man and his movies across 25 dazzling frames.
