We have all watched Woh Kaun Thi (1964). The scene when it begins to rain torrentially and, lo and behold, Sadhana (clad in a white saree) asks for a lift from Manoj Kumar is still etched in our cinematic memories. What makes that scene memorable even after all these years is the rainy night. The two strangers in a car, their mysterious banter and the sounds and visuals of pitter-patter.
