I chose to focus on two iconic films and dance sequences that defined my childhood. - Dola re Dola (Devdas, 2002), and Chaiyya Chaiyya (Dil Se, 1998).

These are the kinds of visuals that instantly trigger recognition: the pose, the expressions, the scenery — and suddenly you’re searching for the soundtrack and replaying the songs.

I was drawn to the exaggerated emotion, spectacle, and visual richness of 90s and early aughts Indian cinema posters.

My approach was to reinterpret these cinematic moments using saturated colour palettes, texture, movement, and layered compositions to recreate the joy, drama, and instant familiarity of the films that shaped an entire generation.
