In Bollywood, Holi is usually an occasion for joy, sometimes a time for things darker. Songs and dances apart, these cinematic Holi moments stand out in the crowd.
Any Holi discussion is incomplete without the song Rang Barse from Silsila. Just before Amit (Amitabh Bachchan) starts singing, Chandni (Rekha) tells Amit's wife Shobha (Jaya Bachchan) that she didn't marry the man she fell in love with. In another corner, Amit makes the same confession to Chandni's husband Dr Anand (Sanjeev Kumar).
