Holi Special: What YELLOW means in the movies

Jahnavi Patel tells us how Bollywood gives colours a whole new meaning.

When Coldplay sang Yellow, they probably knew the colour played an important role in Bollywood.

It has given us #FashionGoals, ways to express love, and, of course, how to kiss behind lovely sunflowers!

We saw how GREEN, RED and PINK are celebrated in the movies.

In our special Holi series, let's see what part YELLOW plays in the movies.

What did you notice more in this ad: The juicy mango or Katrina?

Sarso ke kheth

Running in the sarso ke kheth towards your lover and then into their arms, Bollywood painted a beautiful picture for us.

Badle ki aag

Twin with the kaali peeli and surprise your date!

Mera suit bhi sexy

Nobody can nail colours like Govinda did. Would you dare to wear a yellow blazer?

A little filmi-ness is a must. What say?

Haldi ceremonies are always fun. Haven't you seen the scene in YJHD?

Aag laga denge

Be cool, show off the swag in a yellow fur coat. Like Anu Mallik says, aag laga denge.
