Krrish vs Superman - 2 !!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your interest in the first episode of this series. :~)

So, lets continue the war. ;~)

One of the most common arguments we hear from junta is that the Indian Hero dances and sings which is very unrealistic. Now I got a different view on it. I guess this is where our strength lies. I ask why shouldn't we put songs and why shouldn't our hero dance ??

We shouldn't forget that Movies are just a medium of expression. And just like any art the artist is free to use any tools he deems suitable to convey the meaning. So, if the hero wanna express his love for his dearest, why shouldn't he sing !!

And I gotta say Bollywood music is one of the most beautiful, pleasant and sweet treasures we have. The quality of music and lyrics is uncomparable. Now I don't wanna generalize it to every crap director in Bollywood ( say David Dhawan ) but nevertheless one would agree that songs in 'Rang De Bansanti' ( by Rakesh Mehra ) were beautifully executed and never hampered the story.

As far as dance is concerned I am proud of Bollywood brand of 'dance' . Why?? , u might ask. Becoz it is not just dependent on physical movements. I have seen many English videos and I have to say that their dance just don't touches the soul, it is very much restricted to body movements ( Again, not applicable to each and everyone ). To better understand what I am trying to say just see the range of steps in an average Bollywood song. For e.g. take 'Des Rangila' from Fanna, the use of hands/legs movements, facial expressions is so beautiful, and take 'Main Aisa kyon hoon' from Lakshaya, wow! Every movement was in tandem with the theme of the song.

So, if Krrish sings and dances, it adds to his strenght. And I gotta say Hrithik is just amazing. Great movements and the whole dance sequence appears natural. See 'San-na-na, Aaj Pawan Bhi' for e.g.

So guys, just savour our own brand of SuperHero rather than uselessly comparing it to others.

Might be continued ... :~)
