You watched all the way to the end?
(I think my brain is exploding.)
Couldn't tear myself away.
Maybe it's not your brain, but mine.
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.![]()
Stop the madness!
How come all the men look like Edward James Olmos?
Ever since "I Dream of Jeannie," I've wanted a pair of harem pants.
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!
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.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.
Ankle bells?

I love watching Bollywood dance sequences. They are a mix of Indian classical dance, belly dance, and pop, only very aerobic.
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 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.
