I am always curious about things, though I know Indian movies always have that scene where they wld dance and sing, sorry scene(s). But this morning I found myself watching one and I just gave up wondering and decided since we have alot of minds here in nairaland I should probably ask to get a good answer. So biko who have seen an Indian movie without a dance scene and why is it always a must to dance?

If there are any Indians in here it just makes this easier.

Lol.. I doubt it

I just don't get it..the dancing is sometimes annoying

Yes. If it's a bollywood-hollywood collabo.

which one of the collabos?

I mean if Hollywood decides to partner with Bollywood to create a movie, if that hasn't been done yet. American audiences do not have patience to sit through dance scenes so I'm sure producers would fill them with more meaningful content.

By the way, you know those dance scenes are a form of censorship, right? They're mostly done to represent intimacy in courtship.

Very big IF

It's possible they've already done one. I don't watch Bollywood movies so wouldn't know.
Check Ghajini and let me know if there's singing and dancing.

Errm I don't watch Bollywood or Nollywood so no need, just that from most of them I hv by chance seen there is dancing. Maybe its a new development!

There are tons of holy-bolly collabo and the dance scenes are still there. Even some hollywood movies shot in india has dance scenes in them. have u seen slumdog millionaire?

Lol guys guys guys.. Actually an indian female frnd of mine told me dat the reason why dey dance in dr movies is just dr tradition and mostly they can't produce a movie without incorporating the dance steps.. As annoying as it sEems, we just have to deal wit it. Just like our nigerian movies are, some other races dnt like some features in our movies...m
