Hi!!
Welcome to Bollywood Chewing-Gum!
This world will be about... well Bollywood! For those who doesn't know what Bollywood is, it's a the name given to the movies made in Bombay (now Mumbai) in India. Indians movies are... uniques. In Occident we describe it as kitch and people doesn't like it... So it's a question of taste I guess.
Personally i find it magical! They don't try to reprensent reality, but they want to make people dream, to forget for one moment their complicated life...
So I'll present Bollywood's movies like Om Shanti Om, Devdas or Saawariya... I've not seen a lot of movies (but I'll try to resolve this problem^^) so don't expect me to edit a large number of articles which present movies.
I'll also talk about dancing scenes in particular. Indeed Bollywood movies all contains (at the exception of the movie Black) about 6 dancing scenes.
Here you go, I don't know when I'll post my first article yet because I have to understand how it work lol.
Bye Bye
Here is the last dancing scene from Om Shanti Om! I find this one original... It's very... Theatrical... But there is one thing that I don't like in this one: Khan acting... It's too much.
Next time I'll put the list of the actors that appear in the film, other than in the dancing scene I put previously (Deewangi). And I'll try to find a video of that scene (because it's funny).
Here is the scene I spoke about previoulsy. It's the one when there is a large number of bollywood actors!!!! I don't like the song but well... I put it for those who wanted to see the actors...Here is the list of the actors in this scene:

So here is my favorite song, Main Agar Kahoon from Om Shanti Om
The lyrics are beautiful!!!! He brought her to a film set and he uses different background used on movies... I love this idea!!!!! It's sooo romantic!
Here are the first two dancing scenes from Om Shanti Om...
The first one is more like a song scene^^ The lyrics are beautiful! There is two part, the first part takes place in the first part of the film and the second... In the second part of the films^^(Bollywood movies are always in two part). I wanted to put only the first part but well you can have all the song like this...
The second one... Well I love it! But only the begining and the end lol (the end is funny^^) Because I find the choregraphy... Well I don't like it (except at the begining) But I love the song so I put it there... I like the rythm.
I'll put an other video later... My favorite!!!!!!!!!!
Protagonist Om Prakash Makhija (Shahrukh Khan) is a junior artist in the 1970s Bollywood film industry. He and his friend Pappu (Shreyas Talpade) are trying to succeed as leading actors.Om is in love with the film actress Shanti Priya (Deepika Padukone).
One evening, Om views the premiere of Shanti Priya's film Dreamy Girl, claiming he is the actor Manoj Kumar. Later that night, Om becomes drunk and describes his vision of himself as a famous, wealthy film star to Pappu and some local children. During his speech, references are made to the Law of Attraction, creating an axiom that recurs throughout the story.
On another occasion, during a shooting of a film wherein Om is acting as a scene-extra, he notices Shanti trapped in the middle of a fire scene where the fire has escaped control. When the lead actor of the film fails to save her, Om saves her instead and they become friends.
The following day, Om tries to talk to Shanti on the set of a film, but is almost ignored. He follows her into a dressing-room, where he, unseen except by the viewer, overhears her argument with the film's producer Mukesh Mehra (Arjun Rampal) about a recent promise of Mukesh's to marry a businessman's daughter in return for funding of a film. It is here revealed that Shanti is secretly married to Mukesh, and that Shanti is pregnant with Mukesh's child. Mukesh insists that his relationship with Shanti be kept secret, arguing that its revelation will spoil his plans, but Shanti demands that they marry in public. Mukesh relents when she reveals her pregnancy. Om leaves,disappointed, and remains miserable for some days.
One night, Om notices Mukesh escorting Shanti to the set of their planned film Om Shanti Om. Inside, Mukesh tells Shanti that he will cancel the film, reveal their marriage to the public, and have a grand wedding in the spectacular set, but contradicts himself by blaming her for his loss of the film and its revenue, igniting a fire in the set, and leaving her imprisoned inside it. Om attempts to rescue her, but is attacked by Mukesh's men. When they leave him, Om enters the set, but is prevented by an explosion from rescuing Shanti. Om, having been fatally injured and propelled by the explosion into a road, is hit by a car owned by Rajesh Kapoor (Javed Sheikh), a well-known actor who is taking his wife (Asawari Joshi) to a hospital for the birth of their child. Rajesh Kapoor then takes Om to the hospital with them, but Om dies of his injuries. Moments later, a son is born to Rajesh Kapoor, who is named Om and implied to be Om Prakash's reincarnation. The film then cuts to the younger Om's adulthood, wherein he is a popular movie star and lives an extravagant, luxurious life. It is shown through some scenes that he subconsciously inherits Om Prakash's memories.
Having been introduced to Om Kapoor, his lifestyle, and his nickname of "O.K.", viewers see him becoming aware of Om Prakash's memories when his film crew use the site of Om Prakash's death as the setting of his new film. Here, O.K. sees images of Mukesh's argument with Shanti Priya. O.K. is later introduced by his father to Mukesh Mehra. Upon seeing him, O.K. becomes aware of all of Om Prakash's memories. He conceals his knowledge of Mukesh's past, but later reunites with his mother and Pappu. He then conspires with them to avenge Shanti Priya's death by terrifying Mukesh into confessing his role therein... And so you'll have to see the film to know how it end^^
In this film, there is a lot of parody scenes of Bollywood... So I find this movie funny... At first it seems stupid but when you understand that they are mocking indian movies you find it very funny!
There is also a scene where there is a huuuge number of bollywood actors! We can see Kajol, Rani Mukherjee, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor...
So here is a trailer... you'll find it very kitch, excentric but as I said before, there is a parodic side^^
Well the frist one is with french subtitles:
Well I can't find one with english sub sorryyyyyy!!!
lol.
