Dan (Mark Ruffalo) and Greta (Keira Knightley) use a headphone splitter to listen to an #iPod together on the New York subway in Begin Again (2013, dir. John Carney) #ValentinesDay #PortableSound #PortableSoundInCinema #KeriaKnightley #MarkRuffalo

An attractive young white couple in casual 2010s clothing sit on a blue subway seat next to each other, each wearing a pair of headphones (she sports Apple earbuds, he's got over-the-ear cans) plugged into a gargantuan headphone splitter which is in turn plugged into a white Apple iPod. They both are smiling, but she's smiling more.

The first use of a #mobile phone in a #Bollywood film was in 1996's Tere Mere Sapne, also the first film produced by #AmitabhBachchan's ABCL company. In the story, it was used by Rahul (#ChandrachurSingh) to speak to his grandfather (#Pran) long distance in England.
