The movie: Rangeela. Of colourful spirits!

The moment: Rangeela was escapist fare. Frankly, I wouldn't have liked it if Mili (Urmila Matondkar) opted for Kamal (Jackie Shroff) instead of the colourful rogue, Munna (Aamir Khan).

That is why the scene I remember best is the climax. Mili receives a letter before the premiere of her debut movie. In the letter, Munna finally expresses his true feelings towards her and concludes it with, 'Terko kisi aur ke saath dekhe, itna bada dil nahi hai apun ka (I am not generous enough to watch you with someone else).'

The scene is mostly communicated to the audience through Urmila's misty, confused eyes and Aamir's emotional voice-over. And director Ram Gopal Varma achieves the desired effect.
