Namaskar, welcome back to Interval Bell. I am Siddharth Venkataraman. Last time we sat in Minerva cinema for five years with Sholay. Today we are going somewhere colder. If you grew up on Hindi films in the 1990s, you have a very specific image in your head. A woman in a white chiffon sari, a green meadow, a snowy peak behind her, and absolutely no explanation of how the hero got there from Delhi. That image was built deliberately, by one director and one cinematographer, after the valley of Kashmir became impossible to shoot in. We will follow Yash Chopra from Chandni to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, find out how Manmohan Singh lit chiffon against snow, and ask what a Bollywood dream did to a small Swiss town. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts. Interval is over.
