Hollywood Will Take Over Bollywood If There's No Song & Dance: Farah Khan

Farah Khan believes that if there's no song-and-dance in Bollywood, Hollywood will take over the film indistry in India and we must protect the forte of song-and-dance in Bollywood films.

Farah Khan has regaled Bollywood audiences with beautiful song-and-dance sequences in her larger-than-life movies. Which is why filmmaker-choreographer Farah feels sad that people nowadays tend to look down upon such routines in Hindi cinema. For long, Bollywood has been associated with actors dancing in sync with the film's songs. But if we go by the recent releases, like Phobia, Akira and even the Shahrukh Khan starrer Dear Zindagi, song and dance sequences seem to be fading away.

Farah, who has choreographed dance routines for more than 100 songs in over 80 Hindi films, says these are what international audiences associate Bollywood with. "In a way, I feel sad that people tend to look down upon our song-and-dance because I genuinely believe those are what make Bollywood what it is internationally," Farah told IANS.

She said that if the songs and dances go away from Bollywood, Hollywood will slowly take over the film business in India, "If that goes away, which I have been saying, it is going to be... Hollywood will come and take over, which is happening now in any case. The Jungle Book is doing better than any other Hindi movie released. So that, I think, we should not lose."

She further continued, "That is our forte and that is our strength. That we have music in our movies and we have songs and celebrate dancing and colour."
