Every Frame Evokes a Memory, and Every Memory is Worth Sharing

My name is Uday Nandivada and I am an Indian American in my sixties – a part time poet and a full-time movie fan. Movies, especially Hindi movies have shaped many things in my life. My celebrations begin with a song, and my disappointments end with one. I grew up in a literary family, which perhaps influenced my choice of movies. But it was movies that shaped my view of the world. Encouraged by some friends I started “Frames Of Reference” as a place for fellow cinephiles like me to gather and take this nostalgic trip along with me.

Are Deewano, Mujhe Pehchano

Some faces in Hindi cinema slip past us not because they’re forgettable, but because they belong to entirely different worlds — a sports personality trying their hand at the movies, a future superstar hiding in plain sight as a wide‑eyed child, a struggling actor who found a second act as a director, an actor with an unusual make-up, or a legendary singer or director making a blink‑and‑miss cameo before they became a name.

This quiz celebrates those delightful “Wait… that was them?” moments — the hidden appearances, the early avatars, and the behind‑the‑scenes legends who briefly stepped into the frame. Get ready to test your memory, your eye for detail, and your love for Bollywood’s secret cameos.

I have used the song from Don as the title for this quiz as it aptly summarizes the question in our minds when we see that rare appearance on the screen.

Each question begins with a still from a movie, and four choices for your guess. Your job is to correctly “Pehchaano Woh Hai Kaun, Aur Kahan Se Aaya”. If you’re not sure, you can click on the hint icon at the top of the question for some additional help.

And remember, the quiz master’s ignorance is neither final nor binding if there is a dispute on the answer! If you have corrections or additional clarifications about the question that you would like others to know, please click on the “comment” icon below the question to let us know. After all, this is a virtual mehfil, “aur yahan sabhi gyani hain!”. Your enhancements will enrich the knowledge of our readers, for which we will be grateful.

Good luck!

      As far as I know all answers are correct, Ritu.

      But in a few cases there is some room for interpretation.

      If anyone knows something that I did not mention or if I misstated any facts, I would request them to add those details here, that’s all.
