So I'm a big Bollywood fan, and I'm watching this good movie right now....Saawariya, which adapts a Dostoevsky story into a modern Indian love story.
This is one of my favorite song and dance numbers for lots of reasons. It's got a lovely melody, of course. I like is that it features a bunch of men. Muslim men celebrating Eid en masse no less. For something completely different from a bevy of women dancing. Men dancing Rockette style in one part of the choreography. Totally messes with all our stereotypes of scary Muslim men (although I'm not sure that the filmakers had that intention). There are comic touches too, exquisite costumes and set design that is dreamy.
