Bollywood Films – Where does the head of the car disappear in the scenes of movies, have you ever noticed? – Why Car Seats Headrests Removed In Films Like Piku But Not In Khildi 786 here is the logic behind this trick ntcpsm

The ‘Dawn’ (1978), who has been bled till just before DSP Silva’s car left his life, was not cold. In the song ‘So Gaya Yeh Jahan’ from ‘Tezaab’, the tension of his past memories was very clear between Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit while traveling in the same car.

In ‘Piku’, Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, who are seen in the role of father and daughter, smiles on everyone’s face after seeing Irfan Khan. Overall, the thing is that the car ride has been a part of the very important situation in many films. But have you ever noticed that in the scenes shot inside the car in films, the headrests of the next seats disappear? This does not happen in many films. The question is when it happens and when it does not happen? Let’s tell …

The secret of disappearance of headrest from seat
In the films that used to come till the era of 1970s, you will not see headrest with forward seats often. This is because till then most of the cars used to have benches seats, which did not have a headrest. Then the front seats in the cars started coming of Captain Style, that is, the seats of the driver and passenger were not different. On the other hand, in 1968, it became mandatory for the car makers in the US to give headrest in the car and gradually the headrest with the captain seat started coming in every car. But there was a new problem for filmmakers with headrests in cars.

It was easy to shoot the film scenes inside the bench style seats cars because then the face of the actor sitting on the back seats was also seen when shot from the front of the car. But when the headrest came, this work became difficult. Its treatment was removed that according to the need of the scene, the headrests started to be removed from the seats.

If you talk about ‘Piku’ (2015), then a large part of this film has been shot inside the car. Amitabh was sitting behind in the car, Irfan was driving and Deepika was next to the passenger seat next to him. According to the story, Irfan and Deepika, sitting in front, had to look at Amitabh sitting back several times. In such a situation, if the headrests were installed, it would have been difficult to talk to each other and the effect of the scene would have been over. Therefore, in ‘Piku’ you will not see headrest on the seat of the car.

Every time the headrests are not removed
There is no need to remove the headrest by shooting the scene inside the car in the film. Not only old era, modern films also have such an opportunity when a carless car is used. For example, Nana Patekar and John Abraham are traveling in a taxi in the film ‘Taxi No. 9211’ (2006), set on a taxi driver and passenger. This taxi is a premiere Padmini car, which has a bench seat and does not have a headrest.

Many times the scenes in the film are such that there are only two characters in the car and both are sitting next to the seats. There is no harm by the headrest, so they are not removed. Like Akshay Kumar and Asin are on the seats in the seats in the ‘Khiladi 786’ car scene. Therefore the headrests were not removed.

Another treatment for the headrest problem is that if two characters are in a drive-ride role, then they should not be made in one line. In this way the camera can easily capture both the driver and the ride. Like ‘Sandeep and Pinky absconding’ (2021).

However, in the same film, when Parineeti Chopra parked outside the car, talking to Arjun Kapoor sitting on the driving seat, the headrest of Arjun’s seat has been removed.

Looking at the scene, you must have understood the reason for this. In this scene, the camera placed on the back seat of the car is showing the back of Arjun’s head as well as the face of Parineeti, who is setting the mood of the scene. That is, in the scenes inside the car in films, or not having a headrest or not, depends on the need of the scene.
