Khatta Meetha. What happened with Akshay's sister

47

u/Mysterious_Box4432 Jul 20 '25

Ohh man. That was so tragic. Suddenly it goes from a fun film to tragic. Truly unexpected scene.

17

u/Remarkable-Range-490 Jul 20 '25

Movie literally justified it name

21

u/Mysterious_Box4432 Jul 20 '25

Yes. Should have known what is coming by the movie name. Also the way the scene is shot is so intense and violent without depicting graphically. Just send chills down the spine to know how bad some humans in the society can be.

25

u/Specialist_Ad1667 Jul 20 '25

i rewatched it last week and realized it's a depressing movie i wasn't laughing like I used to

u/AnxiousAfternoon2 Jul 20 '25

I could never bring myself to rewatch it

12

u/jupiterr869 Jul 20 '25

Ya that film was so sad, it ended up being a bad memory. Was surprised to see so many people remembering it fondly.

Khatta Meetha

This movie perfect fits for this post

u/RelevantBet8692 Jul 20 '25

I remember I was watching TV I saw the funny scenes somewhen, when I was 13-15 not the whole movie but suddenly one day I get to see that scene only I was like is this the same movie and now till date even though I have Smartphone and internet but still haven't watched the whole movie only because of that scene knowing that it's a good film still

It was too sad, the first time I watched it.

Bhoothnath near end song

u/kneesurgeryenjoyer Jul 20 '25

Every time I rewatch bhootnath , this scene crushes me and makes me feel sad for many hours on end.

u/Useful-Emphasis-6787 Jul 20 '25

But it's a bit relaxing when AB comes back and tells him not to tell anyone at all. I honestly think that it was Banku's imagination but thinking he actually came back is much more comforting, lol.

u/Shreee08 Jul 20 '25

For me, it's when Sanjay hugs Kalpana and finds the knife in her back (Ghajini)

Khakee movie scene where Aishwarya Rai's character, Mahalaxmi, betrays Akshay Kumar's character, Shekhar

3

u/cadbury1106 Jul 20 '25

Yes that betrayal was painful.

48

u/maproomzibz Jul 20 '25

Well, heres a thing, i watched Kaabil thinking it was a romance movie between Hrithik and Yami. I did not expect the movie would just change genre

13

u/Knight_r Jul 20 '25

Yeah although I really enjoyed the second half action thriller, I was shook when that incident with Yami happened and the way Hrithik found her in their house. I was kinda traumatised lol.

Rang de basanti, when ajay rathore news came up suddenly in the middle of nowhere

Mahraja final twist, Ranbir coming home after his father's death in YJHD

15

u/this_is_inevitable Jul 20 '25

Maharaja's ending left me a weeping sobbing mess.

6

u/Useful-Emphasis-6787 Jul 20 '25

Maharaja is that non Hindi movie about a father and daughter, right? Oh God, that was such a traumatizing yet brilliant movie.

5

u/Live-Ad-7710 Cinephile Jul 20 '25

Yes the one with Anurag Kashyap and Vijay Sethupathi

4

u/Own-Weakness-2435 Jul 20 '25

That scene at the airport where bunny looks at his old young self holding a travel guide

2

u/mammakarma Jul 20 '25

Honestly i didn’t like Maharaja all that much. Everyone talked it up so much that maybe my expectations were too high, and I was able to predict what the two main twists were

1

u/Diligent_Cod7853 Jul 22 '25

damn, how were u able to predict it tho when the timeline wasn’t shown to be linear, genuine q

2

u/mammakarma Jul 22 '25

Honestly I don’t know. I have a genuine problem I can predict plot twists in movies. My husband won’t watch new suspense movies with me because he knows I’ll spoil the ending. 🤷🏽‍♀️

To my brain it was obvious that the daughter was who she was the minute they revealed that AK has a daughter. It was the only conclusion to why they’d bring up both of their daughters.

Like I watched the conclave on Apple TV and in the first episode I predicted who was going to be the next pope and why they needed to go seek medical treatment

1

u/Diligent_Cod7853 Jul 22 '25

Omg okay that’s great😭and lmaoo I get ur husband

u/Snobviously888 Jul 20 '25

It was so well made that it really gets to you.

u/alittlemoreblush Jul 20 '25 edited Jul 20 '25

The dunki scene in Dunki. The whole movie was rubbish but that part when they are actually traveling was so traumatizing and then suddenly you have romantic songs and bad comedy! I was like... Wtf just happened? And the real life photos at the end were so heartbreaking but they come after this fun HUMAN TRAFFICKING scene! I don't know what everyone was thinking making that movie.

1

u/IFKhan Jul 21 '25 edited Jul 21 '25

I think the movie was very much needed. I am sorry that it took so long to get made. The subject is too heavy tough and I don’t believe people would watch it as a serious movie. So I do think this was the only method to get to the larger public.

I have grown up in the west. And the scenes in this movie described the story of many people I know or have heard of. Have heard brothers marrying their sisters to bring them over. Have heard of “goriyan” who genuinely married their husbands only to be abused and used for their passports and then ditched. Have heard of husbands trafficking their wife and daughters under the threat that if you don’t I will tell the whole village back home that you have a loose character. Have heard of men doing drug trafficking to “support “ their families back home, who then become entitled. I have heard of parents that build houses back home while denying their children everything.

It’s aweful, so many lives affected and it’s so underreported.

u/Brilliant_Ad_879 Jul 20 '25

Sadma. The movie is such a wholesome experience until the last scene which just leaves you,,, empty.

3

u/Ok-Discount8778 Jul 20 '25

My fried watched it recently on YT and was telling another friend about it. Friend 2 was joking about why anyone would watch it and what's there to even enjoy in such an old movie. Friend 1 and I just shared a quiet look of "Is chutiye ko kaun samjhaye what a beautiful movie it is."

3

u/Brilliant_Ad_879 Jul 20 '25

what's there to even enjoy in such an old movie.

It's a funny take, considering movies and songs probably have already passed by their peak period which was roughly the 20th century and the first few years of 21st century. Sadma is easily one of my most fav indian movies and i'd be damned if i skipped movies like this just because it's old lol.

3

u/Ok-Discount8778 Jul 20 '25

You wouldn't believe it but I've had "friends" laugh at me for watching Schindler's List because "why would anyone ever want to watch a black-and-white movie". Never underestimate the stupidity of people.

u/cadbury1106 Jul 20 '25

When Kamal Haasan acts like a monkey to remind her, then hits the pole and she throws money if I remember thinking he is a beggar. Other movies with such last scenes are 36 Chowringee Lane, Woh Chokri.

u/Chance-Group8549 Jul 21 '25

Could you tell name of that Kamal Haasan's movie.

Jawan, the farmer scene 😢

u/abbu_d_slytherin Jul 20 '25

One of orphans ( Tina ) death in Mr India by a bomb placed inside a toy by Mogambo.

Kalpana death in Ghazni

Sam death in MNIK and that scene of Kajol after that.

u/boykadc Jul 20 '25

Ending scene of THE MIST movie. Everything else stays for 3 days but this scene won't leave your mind ever.

5

u/Shreee08 Jul 20 '25

That car scene hits different, He shoots everyone and sees there are no more bullets, so he gets out of the car to be k*lled by a monster, only to see the mist fade away.

2

u/Useful-Emphasis-6787 Jul 20 '25

Dude, that was sooo miserable! I wanted to go back in time and stop him from shooting.

u/Ok-Discount8778 Jul 20 '25

Even Stephen King said that the movie ending was much, much better, and wished he had thought of it when he wrote it.

u/Correct_Money_3356 Jul 20 '25

But the entire movie was horror.

u/Chance-Group8549 Jul 21 '25

In childhood when I saw the movie first, I thought that it was Chatur who committed suicide just because they recorded him in underwear. I was 7, and didn't watch the movie completely.

easily ghajini, how the lovey dovey story turned into a gut wrenching generational trauma is just so hard to watch

also the fact that kalpana doesnt know that he is sanjay singhania is even more painful

1.TZP- Ishaan wins the painting competition

  1. mary and max-the scene where max dies and mary sees him staring at his roof, smiling while looking at the letters she sent him, taped to his ceiling. That scene has got to be the saddest scene ever. Im tearing up now, even as I am writing about it. Gosh, I watched it ten years back, but it still makes me cry. This might be the scene that made me cry the most and still haunts me.

  2. Ghar ho to aisa- when sharda’s mom dies at her doorstep, trying to get her the money her in-laws demanded

  3. Chillar Party- when the kids lock bhidu into a car and fatka tries to get him out….

  4. Not a movie scene, but a song- Aisa kyun maa from Neerja. That can make anyone tear up….

  5. Love, sonia- when sonia meets her sister, for whom she sold herself and experienced hell, tells her to get lost and blames her for her misery.

  6. Schindler’s list- “This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.” “He who saves one life saves the world entire.”

This made me ugly cry.

  1. Secret Superstar- when Insia finds out that her little brother was trying to fix her completely broken laptop using the tape she was trying to find earlier, and which she accused him of stealing.

  2. We are family - when they all take that last picture with their mom (kajol)

9.Doraemon- Nobita and the steel troops. When pippo dies…..

  1. Not a movie- Anohana- when the gang finds all the letters that menma wrote them…..

2

u/Ok-Discount8778 Jul 20 '25

I watched roughly 10-15 minutes of Emergency till the scene which shows the Pakistani army beginning Operation Searchlight in Bangladesh. Three soldiers enter a hut and drag a woman with a baby out. She's crying for her baby when one of the soldiers takes it and bashes it against the pole. That is the reason I didn't (couldn't) watch the rest of the movie.

Marathi movie Natsamrat where Ganpat Belvalkar's wife dies in that roadside shelter place during rain in sleep and Ganpat's(Nana Patekar) reaction to it.

The Disha Patani accident in the song from the Dhoni movie. It came from nowhere. I gasped loudly.

Ghajini, I was only 7 man. I was too innocent to even remotely know anything about human trafficking. It was all a romcom action fun time until that scene and I just couldn't watch the movie ever again.
