Love and Faith

This has been an unusual week in many ways. For the first time, i saw two Bollywood movies in the space of four days.
Both from the same Producer director.
One set in 2012.
The other, a full generation ago, in 1982.

'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' left me with a headache, despite my (Fauji onwards-( the teleserial in the 80s)) love for Shah Rukh Khan's massively energetic screen presence.
'Silsila' left me with admiration and awe, of having seen a movie which, in 1982,  was decades ahead of its times, and in which the protagonists' (Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Rekha) professionalism comes to the core despite their complex individual equations at that time.

One question from both movies stands out as common.

Faith Vs Love ?
This can manifest itself in various sub questions-

Faith or love
Faith and love
First faith, then love
First love, then faith
Go together
Go separately
One without the other

My take is that Faith is love, and love is faith.

Time to enjoy the beautiful tulips in Amsterdam and the fabulous lyrics of this timeless song. Dekha ek Khwab (click below to watch)
