<p>Aradhana was the first film that I remember seeing, after which I was made to wear all clothes, Rajesh Khanna style.<br /><br />I saw the film at Bandra Talkies. To my five-year-old mind then, Aradhana was a film made by Rajesh Khanna. <br /><br />He wrote the lyrics, the dialogues, he made the songs, and he sang them, and so did Sharmilaji. And the projectionist was Rajesh Khanna's friend!u00a0 </p>
<p>Jason And The Argonauts was a mythological adventure film that I remember seeing at Shree Talkies in Prabhadevi. <br /><br />I felt fear and thrill for the first time watching Jason and The Argonauts. I also saw foreigners for the first time on screen. </p>
<p>I have seen Mr Ramanand Sagar's Aankhen several times in Kum Kum aapa's living room. She is my neighbour and my family. <br /><br />She is the actress of several movies of the '60s including Mother India, Kohinoor and Aankhen. Through Aankhen, I discovered Mr Mehmood. <br /><br />And I discovered the importance of a comedian in a movie. According to me, Mehmood is still the greatest comedian actor ever!</p>
<p>Pakeezah was the first Muslim social period film that I saw and loved, especially for the song Chalte Chalte. <br /><br />I saw it in Nandi Cinema near Bandra station. I saw Pakeezah after Meena Kumariji passed away. And I was told that before I saw the film. <br /><br />And throughout the film, I kept wondering how Meena Kumariji could be alive when they said she was no more. And hence, I landed up falling in love with her much more.</p>
<p>I had so much identification with Yaadon Ki Baaraat that I felt that I was one of the kids. So I enjoyed it much more. And my first crush was Zeenat Aman.<br />u00a0<br />I saw this film at Neptune Cinema near Bandra station. And I loved Yaadon Ki Baaraat so much that I also included it in Swades.</p>
<p>These five films formed my first impression about cinema along with all of Chaplin's cinema and the Laurel and Hardy movies.<br /><br />
