How to show the utmost intimacy between the hero and the heroin without resorting to explicit lyrics and without crossing the limits of decency? Gulzar knows the trick.
.
एक सौ सोलह चान्द की रातें
एक तुम्हारे कांधे का तिल
एक तुम्हारे कांधे का तिल
.
(Ek sau sOlah chAnd ki rAtEn
Ek tumhAre kAndhe kA til)
Ek tumhAre kAndhe kA til)

He won't say a word more and the listener's mind careens to the most dramatic picturization of the lyrics. The same Gulzar will admonish you for imagining a less-than-dignified intimate scene by directing the shot with utmost dignity combined with delicate sensitivity. If you don't believe me, watch this song from Ijaazat (mera kuch saamaan). Sublime !!!!!
