The Bollywood Thread

When I was stationed in Thailand, my rent-a-wife dragged be to see one of Bollywood's finest; it was in the original language with Thai subtitles, so I had a little trouble following the finer points, but I was able to figure out it was a four and a half hour musical soap-opera that covered three generations of typical soap-opera goings on -- with 1950's American TV censorship rules and then some.

I managed to resist accompanying her to see the three sequels that were released in the remaining four months of my tour. :p

A local cable station used to show Bollywood dance videos in the wee hours of the morning. They're a delight when you have insomnia, like a substitute for dreaming. The basic plot of all the songs seems to be,

MAN: "I want to ask you for a date!"

WOMAN: "And I want you to ask me - but I may not accept!"


I just wish I could make my neck do that thing they do.
 
Yep.

And the only place you could get them was Frederick's.

My mom didn't approve.

We have a bellydancing supply store in my neighborhood. I never knew there were supply stores for bellydancers until this one opened...I always pretend to be studying the window display in the emergency generator store next-door.

Harem pants galore. And ankle bells!

Ankle bells?

:heart:
 
This was very informative. I had no idea anyone made films without bare tits, throbbing cocks and six fuck scenes.

Where ever did you find this, Shereads?

If you mean the head slides I can try to explain how to do them, if you would like. Its not hard but you need to stretch all your neck muscles first.

OH, I have had those forever since I was 20, they are just ankle bracelets with bells on them. You can get them at an Indian store usually, or in my case some one brings them back for you from a trip.

I love watching Bollywood dance sequences. They are a mix of Indian classical dance, belly dance, and pop, only very aerobic. I love how in a Bollywood movie the actors can be doing a scene in a house or a city street and all of a sudden everyone is dancing somewhere completely different, like out in the fields.

I study belly dance but would love to study Bollywood dance too.

The Disney Channel is promoting a new "Cheetah Girls" movie by showing "making the movie" clips. The majority of them involve the choreography dance numbers with Bollywood actors, dancers and choreographers.

I have no idea why the Cheetah Girls are going to India in this new movie, but the cross-cultural choreography is interesting.

YOU OWN ANKLE BELLS?

You rule.

I agree with SSS about Bollywood women's costumes. They're invariably gorgeous. Arabian Nights meets Agent Provacateur.



JEN: Where'd I find them? Orignally on local cable - the Univ. of Miami used to broadcast Bollywood videos during my Insomnia Hours. After that show ended, I suffered withdrawal symptoms. Thank heaven for YouTube.
