A taste of Bollywood :)
Hey folks
I thought I'll post a few Bollywood songs/dances, just in case there are some fellow Bollywood fans here 
.
I've chosen videos with English subtitles (click on the cc button on youtube if the subtitles do not show) for those who do not know the lingo (yes..that includes me too 
)
Seems like Du does not allow the direct HD links of youtube videos. Change the Video quality to HD (720p) when the video starts playing

Asihwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit, are imho one of the best Dancers in Bollywood, probably due to the fact they had extensive classical dance training before they became Bollywood actresses.
Song

Movie: Devdas
Dancers : Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai
Here is a Dance by the former Miss world(1994) Aishwarya on the Tamil movie Kandukonden Kandukonden(2000). It was one of her first movies and she shows her talent as a classical dancer.

If your daughter learned Baratantyam then you would definitely know a lot about classical Indian dance. I'm impressed. How did you/your daughter decide to learn Baratanatyam? if you do not mind me asking.
As you pointed out, Baratanatyam is as classical as it gets . My mom learned Baratanatyam when she was young, and she used to say that it takes a lot of practice to perform well. It's a good thing me and my sibling both turned out to be boys..otherwise we would have had a hard teacher to learn Baratanatyam from . Instead we learned Carnatic Music and Mridangam, a percussion instrument.
I live in California, but Ive been to Lucknow once..when I was in my early teens, If my memory serves right. yep, I love visiting those ancient places. Maybe one day I'll visit Cambodia/Thailand, I've always been interested in their architecture and history as well.
Here is a recent Baratanatyam Video I ran into, on youtube. I think its pretty cool.
Performed during an Indian festival at UIUC
My Japanese friend goes to a belly-dancing class and she said the same thing
It sure seems like fun. I'm glad you liked the vids

A simple man (Vijay) from the city of mumbai is recruited by a police officer to masquerade as the Don, the leader of an international gang of smugglers. But things go wrong, the officer is killed and now vijay is on his own, with only his lover (Roma) and a lame ex con artist to help him to prove his innocence.

None of the Indian Moviegoers realized that the actress who played the character Harleen Kaur from the movie Love Aaj Kal was Brazillian even when they saw the movie in the theaters. They assumed she was Indian till the director let them in on the suprising fact a few days later
. She plays the role of a Village girl flawlessly!

Movie: Love Aaj kal
Song: Thoda Thoda Pyar

I was gonna post it, But assumed most would know about it already, so omitted it from the first post, and later forgot all about it 
Thanks for posting it!
yep, the songs/movies want me to go watch something too. Often I end up watching some movie online after i start out to watch only a few songs only, on youtube.
I doubt there is anything called "real" Bollywood , given the wide range of styles the directors use, so dont worry about the street cred of the movies
It has almost become an internet meme. The fact that the small video clips provided by Bombay TV tend to be a choice selection of the cheesiest dialogues, especially from the 70/80s just serves to reinforce the epicness
Why This Kolaveri Di? (Why this Killer rage? girl)
Nominated by CNN as the world's most popular Youtube Song of 2011, and the most watched Indian song of All time on youtube, I think this song deserves a post of its own. "Kolaveri" means "Killer Rage" in Tamil.
Btw, This Entire song is mostly in English (but intentionally in Broken/Colloquial English, for the added fun factor) with a few Tamil words thrown in.
The Song is supposed to be sung by a Guy who has just been Dumped by his girlfriend. His lamentation of "why are you so hatin on me?" sets the theme of the song. Listen to it and see if you could understand it...after all its in English
. The song was composed to be part of the Tamil language movie "3".
In less than 3 months it has racked up a total of more than 42 Million views on youtube(for the main upload) and another 20-30 million views on copied uploads/remakes/parodies/remixes) and counting.
Here is CNN on the song, the most popular song of 2011
The Dutch rowing team pays tribute to the song with a video of their own
