11 years of 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha': Ayushmann Khurrana shares his favourite scene from film
"They're angry, are not speaking to each other... yet saying everything through music. - Ayushmann Khurrana"

Mumbai, Feb 27

Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who is celebrating 11 years of his film 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', has spoken about his favourite scene from the film.

On Friday, the actor took to his Instagram, and shared a clip from the film. In the scene, Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar's characters are not on talking terms while sharing the same physical space.

The characters, however, find a way to express themselves through old songs, which sets up the stage for a comic sequence in the film.

The actor also penned a long note in the caption, as he wrote, "One of my favourite scenes from Dum Laga Ke Haisha. They're angry, are not speaking to each other... yet saying everything through music. I've always loved how this moment shows that even when words fail, emotions find a way. Crazy how music can become a conversation of its own and sometimes says more than any dialogue ever could".

'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' is directed by Sharat Katariya and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The film is set in 1995 in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, and follows an arranged marriage between a small-town cassette shop owner and an educated, overweight woman. The film was released on February 27, 2015.

Bhumi Pednekar made her acting debut with this film and gained significant weight for the role. The music was composed by Anu Malik, with lyrics by Varun Grover. The song 'Moh Moh Ke Dhaage' received critical acclaim. The film won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi at the 63rd National Film Awards. It was also a commercial success at the box office.

One of the few Bollywood films that handled the topic of body image with such sensitivity and without mockery. Bhumi Pednekar's debut was stellar, and the Haridwar setting was so authentic. The music is still on my playlist! "Moh Moh Ke Dhaage" is timeless.

As someone who watched this film much later, I appreciate how it broke stereotypes. The silent communication scene Ayushmann mentions is a masterclass in showing, not telling. More films like this, please.

Respectfully, while the film was good, I feel the ending was a bit rushed. They spent the whole film building up the conflict and then resolved it very quickly. Still, a landmark film for sure. The 90s nostalgia was on point!

The scene he's talking about is brilliant. It's so true—in Indian households, sometimes music or old film dialogues become the language when people are upset. Such a clever and heartwarming detail. Sharat Katariya is a genius writer.

This film marked the beginning of Ayushmann's "social message" era in Bollywood. He took a risk with this role and it paid off. Bhumi's dedication to gain weight was commendable. A classic that aged well. Wishing the team 11 more years of love! 🙏
