I don't know about the whole song-and-dance thing. But if India will have me, the independent cinema scene there is something I'm really interested in.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must have song and dance in our lives; we've had it ever since the inception of cinema in India. Our stories are very social-based, very human-based. We are a very emotional nation.
Indian cinema is entertaining, and what I love most about it is the songs and dances in the films.
Conventional Indian cinema is about people falling in love. They sing, they dance.
Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be as full of music as a Bollywood film.
The thing people don't get about Indian films is that the songs are the story.
You never know when I might decide to work in a Bollywood film and do one of those dance numbers with the whole crew in the backdrop.
In the states we all have this idea, everyone who wants to be the next best singer, next best dancer. Those same wants and desires are in India, too.
A Passage to India. It is my favourite movie.
I am not sure if India is the right place to promote such music. I don't think there are still enough people who listen to English songs.
I am a product of Indian cinema; I've grown up watching Indian films ever since I can remember. And song and dance is part of our lives; it's part of our culture; we wake up to songs, we sleep to lullabies, you know, we celebrate every religious and traditional function with music.
