Song & Dance

 

Name one person who doesn’t like Bollywood masala..! [Actually there are a few.. but for the purpose of this entry.. let’s just pretend there are none ;)]

I for one, love the entertainment. Like the general public says, its leave-your-brain-at-home slapstick comedy. And, don’t forget the song and dance routine. I’m sure a few calories can be lost trying to imitate the steps. Also, increases blood circulation, I hear.. eh! Not sure.. but it does. Maybe, I need to try a few steps just to make sure.. ;)

<Pause for effect.. While I turn up the volume on my TV>

Well, I am back.. And, it’s safe to say that you will survive the jhatkas and matkas.. You will never know it unless you try. <smiles>

Apart from the comedies and dances, there are quite a few films that have made its mark. I wont name them and bore you with it.. All I can say is that these numbers are rapidly increasing. And, I have the movie buffs to thank for this. You have definitely upped your taste and style. More and more, art films are making its introductions in theaters. And, boy, do I feel the magic in the air.

But, having said and done that.. I still prefer the good-old Bollywood. I don’t mind SRK flaring his hands wide, looking up in the sky (as if).. who wouldn’t like to see Madhuri Dixit gain control of her heavy ghaghara while she swings her hips to music.. And, what about Akshay Kumar performing one of those dare-devil stunts.. (being a woman.. I don’t mind Piggy Chops jumping over loops too.) Let’s not forget the star kids debuting in the industry. Wow.. They are a force to be reckoned with.

Personally, old school is still the best. My movie collection has quite a few I watch over & over & over again! Like seriously, I can say the dialogues by-heart.. [actually, NOT.. but it’s good to have confidence in myself] But, technology is turning scenes these days. There is a barrage of new-age equipments making its existence felt now-a-days. But, I do love the evolution..

Music has taken a turn for the better too..! Thank you! You, musicians, singers, directors, truly deserve the praise. Love the melodies and tempo in the music.

Why go to Hollywood or other foreign films, when the magic is created right here in our country! And, there are lesser inspired (read: copied) stories doing the rounds these days.. [Wishful thinking, I know].

So, listen up, take notice and put on your dancing shoes..

 Let’s escape to the land of romance, good vs evil and happily-ever-afters (in most cases)..

How can we ever get tired of the nothing-can-beat-us-down-heroes, (no.. seriously.. no amount of spraying bullets can stop him)

Dance-to-every-tune heroines  (who are always about 20 years junior to the heroes)

And, can-do-the-evil-laugh-at-any-given-moment-villains.. (Got to love the sound effects here)
