From Rang Barse To Rang De Basanti, Movies Have Epitomised The Mood Of The Festival. Metro Picks A Few Oddball Pairs To Colour Things Up Published 14.03.06, 12:00 AM

MALLIKA SHERAWAT & JACKIE CHAN

No myth here. He likes her ?great pair?. She likes his international tag. Together, they are the most colourful ? and clicked ? couple to have graced the global red carpet in the year gone by. Reason enough for the Haryana Hurricane (sorry, Kapil paaji) and the Chinese Chan to go all bawdy in the boldest festival of the year. And if a maudlin Mallika can have Jackie crash-landing in Mumbai, a whimper here and a scamper there can sure melt the action star to run after Miss Murder, crying ?Malika, Malika? with a pichkari in hand.

Aishwarya Rai & Daniel Craig

All she ever wanted was to Bond with the best. As long as it is a 007 tux, Ash won?t mind smearing some gulal on it, doesn?t matter who is in it, Brosnan or Craig. Of course, it would have helped had her Bluffmaster been cast as the British super-agent. But that?s asking for too much from our hip-hop AB Baby (Jr). So, before Craig has Bond girl Thandie Crash Newton shaking and stirring his martini, Ash can try her nimbooda tricks on the blue-eyed British blond. The height difference may pose a petty problem but having sworn hum dil de chuke sanam to Sallu Miyan and matched her taal with Akshaye Khanna before, Ash knows how to make men look up to her. And since she?s all geared up to slip into a bikini for Dhoom II anyway, don?t be surprised if Ash does a Halle Berry either.

rani mukherjee & will smith

The Black woman with the Man in Black in a riot of colours... The buzz is she doesn?t like him all that much for all the Rai reasons. But then again, isn?t the love-hate relationship streaked with more colours than drab devotion? If Rani can go Vari, vari with Aamir for Holi, she should surely be happy to get Hitch-ed to Mr Holly.

alice patten & aamir khan

Ya, ya, he?s just got married but then what has marriage ever got to do with a Holi-daying silsila? Don?t we all want to see what we couldn?t in Rang De Basanti? Don?t we all want DJ to remix Sue kar mere mann ko... one more time? Yeh sab tu mila mila re aur rang tu khila khila re aur dono ko rang de...
