Vasudha Sabharwal

The thing about first impressions is that they need not be entirely accurate. But if done right, they will make the way forward a little easier. You see, it’s hard to let go of first impressions unless something mind-bombastic happens. And this is precisely what Twitter has been discussing lately, the ultimate opening scenes in pop culture.

These scenes could be anything ranging from the actual opening scene to an important character’s entry and from anywhere, the movies, TV series, songs, literally anywhere. The idea is to remember the first time we, as an audience, witnessed an iconic moment, and we were enthralled.

Here’s what Twitter considers the best opening scenes of all time:

1. Gangubai ATE this scene

Movie: Gangubai Kathiawadi

2. Veronica is the because for Cocktail and no one else

Movie: Cocktail

She opened the film like the star she was; Bollywood was unfair to her.
