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."
