Classics and reasons why they are called classics!!

Well starting from 1950's to 2008 hindi film industry has evolved tremendously technically and in terms of its growth and expansion worldwide.And in this evolution of the hindi film industry their have been many classic films which had tremendous mass appeal and popularity and are still remembered today.But in those every classic film there was a scence which was the highlight or to say the turning point of the film which the audiences still remember and appreciate.This is a small analysis of those memorable scences and the reason why they are so memorable.
1) Starting from the biggest blockbuster of the millenium,DDLJ ofcourse the last scence where kajol runs to catch hold of shahrukh and atlast love wins.Classic scene in every sense because it proves that love triumphs over all odds and hurdles something audiences especially young audiences loves to see again and again now also.

2)Do bigha zameen a film which is and always will be cult film,a sheer masterpiece by bimal roy,the scene in which the rickshaw puller balraj sahni chases another rickshaw with lot of pain and agony and atlast succumbs.A scene which brilliantly potrayed the pain of a poor man,the difficult circumstance the protagnist has to go through.

3) Ofcourse the classic film by hrishikesh mukerjee Anand,a film which is still remembered today for its simplicity yet having a strong impact on audiences.Here also the last scene where Anand
the main character is dead and his dear friend bhaskar is not able to accept the fact that his dear friend is dead,even before that scene the other scence where when anand is dieing he goes to search a doctor who may cure anand in the last moment but he clearly knows the fact that there is no cure for the disease.Both scenes brilliantly captured by the director.

4) A film which is one of my personal favourites is satya a dark yet thought provoking film,the scene where urmila gets to know the real identity of satya the main lead,the shock and the eventual shattering of her dreams and belief was captured brilliantly.

5)A film which may not be considered a classic but was defently a pathbreaking one was DCH,and the scene where Akash who never believes in true love,atlast falls in love and breaksdown helplessly is a scene beautifully enacted by Aamir khan.

6)Another film which I personaly liked was swades,and the scence where the train halts and mohan bhargav the lead character buys water from a poor kid and sees helplessly the poor kid selling water for meagre 25 paise.A scene which brings tears to our eyes.

These are just some of the classic films and the scenes in them which can be termed as the USPs of the film.
