If there’s one thing you see unfailingly in practically every single Hindi movie, it’s the park.
Only did you realise there’s more to it than taking a jog or reading the newspaper?
Thanks to Bollywood, we’ve learned it’s many recreational and romantic possibilities.
Bollywood shows you 20 ways to use a park!
Go picnicking with hot date and hotter nanny. ;-)
Host your very own comic con.
Sit under a tree and wait for an apple, or perhaps a pear for novelty, to fall and come up with a brand new breakthrough like Sir Isaac Newton.
Channel your inner Sherlock and look for corpses that lead into high profile murder mysteries.
Walk unescorted wearing kilos of gold and diamonds and not a soul will come forth to rob you.
But, hey, beware of nattily dressed purse-snatchers.
Break into a spontaneous folk dance paying rich tribute to Maharashtra’s art and culture.
Break into an spontaneous folk dance paying rich tribute to Punjab’s art and culture.
Play a little game of Alice in Wonderland. Rabbit holes come in the form of a stammering psycho.
Memorise that horrid chapter of Political Science while girlfriend dies of boredom.
Catch up on your beauty sleep. Few things can match the joy of snoring on the partner’s lap surrounded by colourful, fragrant flowers.
Promote healthy living -- nothing like performing push-ups on fresh, dewy grass for perfect washboard abs.
Right, Ms Pradha?
Reinvent kung fu with your trainer cum masseur.
Go spying on the boyfriend and his ‘me-time’ activities.
Roll over flowerbeds proclaiming your love for your beloved. Because so much better than carving hearts on trees.
Throw an open-air costume party, Halloween or not.
Grab a clandestine spot in the park and engage in a little PDA.
Not the coy type? Then, of course, khullam khulla pyaar karenge hum dono.
Arrange a hush-hush meeting with the husband’s ex (if applicable) and ask her to buzz off without making a scene.
Arrange a meeting with former flame’s current wife (if applicable) and tell her you buzz off without making a scene.
And jog, of course.
What else is a park for!
