My favourite Indian actor is Aamir Khan. He is the master of character and expression. What he doesn't do a lot of is the standard Bollywood 'item dance'. When he does turn a rhythm, though, it is also very worth watching!
Wanted to put one of his items here as tomorrow is his birthday. This movie, "Lagaan" is a lovely period piece - for those who may be interested, it is available on Netflix. The dance here is part of celebrations for Radha-Krishna. Radha was one of the gopikas (dairy maids) of the village of Dwaraka and whilst Krishna was a 'bit of a lad', Radha was the queen of his heart. Which is basically all that is being conveyed here.

Very high energy dancing. They are all very talented. I did not understand the significance of the young lady in White.
