10 Iconic Dance Numbers in the Millennium ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Hindi Film Music has witnessed paradigm changes in the Millennium. Songs are now promo tools and barely situational, and lip-sync numbers predominantly dance songs. On International Dance Day (April 29), I choose the 10 truly magnificent dance numbers that will always live on. And yes, I have not included Naacho Naacho from Rrr as it was technically not a Hindi movie!
Budtameez Dil / Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Ranbir Kapoor outdid himself in this song, reviving memories of his father, Rishi Kapoor’s mastery of dance! The musical was enriched immeasurably by this by Benny Dayal-Shefali Alvares song, composed by Pritam with delightfully crazy lyrics (Paan mein pudina dekha) by Amitabh Bhattacharya. And if you thought the dance had a hint of Michael Jackson, please remember that legend was its choreographer Remo D’Souza’s idol.

October 31st is Halloween, when kids (of all ages) dress up to go trick-or-treating. Then, of course, there are the cool adults getting in on the costume fun to go to Halloween parties. Since we are all Bollywood buffs, okay fanatics, we thought it would be fun to poll our writers to see who they would love to dress up if we had a Bollywood Halloween – Bollyween Ball. Boy oh boy were we flooded with amazing and inventive ideas.
Some of these costumes you could probably put together easily. However, some might need extra help from family, tailors, costume designers, stylists, costume engineers and even Oscar winning makeup artist Greg Canoom (transformed Srk in Fan and Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire)!!
Check out how the excellent team of BollySpice would celebrate Halloween Bolly-ish style.

Nakul Dev Mahajan is known as Hollywood’s Bollywood choreographer and has, along with training students in the art of Bollywood dance at his Bollywood dance academies, been making contestants naach to the Hindi film music beat on the popular dance reality show So You Think You Can Dance (Sytycd) since Season 4. With many memorable numbers including his first to ‘Dhoom Taana’ featuring Sytycd super couple Joshua and Katee, the choreographer has, with a folk classic flavor, given audiences a wonderful view into this amazing dance style.
I recently chatted with the choreographer, in two wonderful interviews, about all things bolly-naach including his two numbers on Sytycd so far this season, his special judging appearance on a popular Indian dance reality show and so much more. I could present everything we chatted about in our fun and always fabulous conversations but would take way to long to read so please check out the highlights…...

New Delhi, Sep 5: Dancing seems to come naturally to "Besharam" actors Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi Sharda. The two will be seen grooving to wedding number, "Lut Gaye" in the film, which they reportedly wrapped up in just a day.
"Director Abhinav Kashyap had kept three days aside for the shoot of the song, but to his and entire unit's surprise, Ranbir and Pallavi finished the song in just one day.

There was once a time where the likes of Mumtaz shone on our screens with big hair, thick eyeliner, a silk sari and a voluptuous figure. This was the image of an Indian woman and of a sex symbol in Bollywood. In recent years however, Bollywood seems to have lost its curves with changes appearing in the image of an Indian woman who no longer supports a silk sari but a swimsuit along with a size zero intact.
Although it is essential for celebrities to adhere to certain codes in order to attract the positive media attention and appeal to the public, it is transparent to see that nowadays the actresses appear to be judged more on the looks and body image rather than their talent of acting and dancing.
