Some of my favourite scenes, greatness after all is subjective: 1) In Wake up Sid, Konkona sen calls up Ranbir 10 mins before her birthday and tells him that its her birthday in 10 mins. He then makes an impromptu cake with jam, bread etc and gives it to her. Pretty sweet scene. 2) The final cycle race sequence in jo jeeta wohi sikandar. I know the movie is moronic, but I still like that scene and the movie. 3) On of the most powerful and socially relevant scenes that I can recollect is from Deewar. The police commissioner breaks it to Shashi Kapoor that his brother is a don. Shashi Kapoor walks out of his office and after a little while finds a thief ( a small boy) making a run with some stolen goods and a few people behind him. Shashi Kapoor asks him to stop, but the guy doesn't. SK is forced to fire at the boys legs. When the kid falls down, SK discovers that he only stolen a piece of bread. SK has the boy admitted to a hospital and himself goes to the boy's home to hand over some eatables. The boy's parents don't recognize him and assume him to be a friend of the boy. The boy's father is a masterji. When SK says that he is the one who shot the boy, the mother gets livid and starts off with the " bade bade criminals ko kuch nahi karte aur mere bete ko goli maar di" The masterji appologizes for his wife's behavior and says that SK did the right thing. While leaving SK says something to the tune of " yeh seekh mujhe sirf ek masterji ke ghar se hi mil sakti thi" The scene encapsulates the guilt and helplessness of a police officer, who knows that he is harsher on the weakest segments of the society and not so much on the big criminals. It also shows the anguish the masterji faces when facing SK. He is forced to choose between being a wronged father and his principles. He chooses the latter.
