Dil Chahta Hai :Trendsetter

Preamble :Last weekend I went to Kolad along with three young boys i.e. Sid & his 2 friends , we clicked almost 350 pics , as during rainy season whole area looks so beautiful , green everywhere .There was a small old bridge over  a small water stream with reasonable good flow , I asked all of 3 to sit on the edge in DCH style with DCH expressions , such is the impact of DCH on me I always remunate this movie extraordinaire......... so here is the post ;

Sid , Jabby & Varun somewhere @Kolad

Chapora fort

Tanhai

JNMD

Even after >10 yrs DCH is still most remembered movie for the youths , directed brilliantly by debutante Farhan , a fresh Start with a different  approach , which is reflected in every frame of this incredible movie , truly a youthful movie although based on proven male bonding Yaar Dost theme .DCH has turned out to be a milestone movie for Farhan, Amir , Saif & also recognised Adhuna Akhtar who did risky hair styling for the trio , after all with great risk comes great reward.
Apart from the theme (Dosti) , great direction & acting by Amir, Saif & Preeti ,  my fav is STILLS in the movie , a new dimension for the Hindi cinema ,a different angle of cinematography , never done before , I still remember most of the stills (Pics ) which were shot beautifully . In fact Chapora fort (pic) in Goa now is called DCH fort ,Everyone wants to imitate the scene in some form at different places , amazing isn't it !
Infact Zoya again tried to repeat certain things in JNMD .

Trip to KOLAD

Recent visit to Kolad with Vini & Tukur was refreshing & a perfect weekend outing, 150x2  KM drive thru lush greenery & intermittent rain  make this journey memorable .

Cliffs of nearly all mountains were covered with clouds & most of the route after exit from Bomby-Pune Expressway at Khopoli is not having much of habitat only 1 -2 places less than ½ KM route we found some crowd ,Almost 80 % of the drive was thru jungle only . Garam Chai  en route was just what someone can wish for.

ZBac Farm where we  had booking was not that great , poor aesthetics of the hut type room , 40 W incandescent lamp give sad feeling ,also it was quite humid , we had  enough reasons to skip adventure sports at approx 1 Km walk @ Sutarwadi Lake , instead we prefer to drive around & visited Pooja farm & other surrounding areas. Pooja farm lake water ascend more than few meters what we had seen during our previous  7^th May ,12 visit , now water is already inside fence & only few meters away  from rooms , their famous Thai style huts legs ,already submerged in water make whole farm looks beautiful .

Next morning after checking out we visited Hans farm , they had few rooms on lake side road & waterfall just back of the rooms was in full throttle , extremely beautiful & scenic , finally we visited Sutarwadi Dam , panoramic view from the dam was just awesome.

A relaxing , comfortable trip , Enjoyed !!!
