Holi Special: What YELLOW means in the movies

March 02, 2018 08:26 IST

Jahnavi Patel tells us how Bollywood gives colours a whole new meaning.

When Coldplay sang Yellow, they probably knew the colour played an important role in Bollywood.

It has given us #FashionGoals, ways to express love, and, of course, how to kiss behind lovely sunflowers!

We saw how GREEN, RED and PINK are celebrated in the movies.

In our special Holi series, let's see what part YELLOW plays in the movies.

 

Aamsutra

What did you notice more in this ad: The juicy mango or Katrina?

 

Sarso ke kheth

Running in the sarso ke kheth towards your lover and then into their arms, Bollywood painted a beautiful picture for us.

 

Badle ki aag

The yellow flames perfectly depict SRK's anger in this scene from Chennai Express.

 

Kaali peeli

Twin with the kaali peeli and surprise your date!

PS: We take no responsibility for the consequences.

 

Mera suit bhi sexy

Nobody can nail colours like Govinda did. Would you dare to wear a yellow blazer?

Bappida is yellow gold. This list without him would be incomplete.

Remember Deepika's regal outfit from Bajirao Mastani?

 

Being filmi

A little filmi-ness is a must. What say?

 

Haldi laga ke rakhna

Haldi ceremonies are always fun. Haven't you seen the scene in YJHD?

 

Aag laga denge

Be cool, show off the swag in a yellow fur coat. Like Anu Mallik says, aag laga denge.

Dance like Vidya Balan in yellow!
