2:16 "Pancake was the brand name of the make-up material that Gemini Studios bought in truck-loads" is an example of humour, using irony and exaggeration. It suggests that Pancake was once a popular make-up product probably known to famous actresses like Greta Garbo, Miss Gohar, and Vyjayantimala. However, by the time Rati Agnihotri came along, it had become less well-known, highlighting the shift in popularity over time in a playful way. English subtitles are now available.
