The complete and unforgettable “Jaan Pehechaan Ho.”
Terry Zwigoff used some of this 1960’s Bollywood production in the opening sequence of his superbly realized film adaptation of the comic book Ghost World, by Daniel Clowes. Scarlett Johansson was the breakout star of the movie, but Thora Birch’s performance has always impressed me more.
Guess what? YouTube Movies has the complete Ghost World. Yeah, there are commercials, but it’s free and it’s here. (Note that you will need some form of Google account to watch.)

Zwigoff got in a self-deprecating dig. He played string bass on this R. Crumb & His Cheap Suit Serenaders album. Yeesh, Thora and Scarlett look unbelievably young but, then, didn’t we all at some time?
The size and shape looks more like a harmonica than a mic!
Sorry, I should have been clearer — the handheld was the one I was curious about. The stand mic is pretty familiar, even if I couldn’t have named it 🙂 What are the odds that the handheld one was just a prop?
There appear to be two mics. On the stand could be a Western Electric 639. I have no idea about the smaller one he carries.
Never seen a mic like the one in that scene from Gumnaam. What is it?
