The thing about a witty easter egg is they guarantee a smile. Like a forbidden secret, you’re cognizant of. Something that lies outside the scope of a film, a clever reference generally about the actor’s previous work or their personal life. You know, the only good thing about Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was Bhagyashree’s cameo and the Maine Pyar Kiya reference.
Speaking of which, easter eggs have been very common in Hindi movies. Cinema Rare (@CinemaRare), a page dedicated to film buffs, asked people about the best easter eggs in movies and shows. And the responses are legit very cool. Take a look –
1. Duplicate
2. Kick

6. Housefull 3
7. Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!

PS – Didn’t realise SRK has delivered so many banger easter eggs over the years.
