A Study of Color Co-ordination and Contrast in Karan Johar’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’
Karan Weds Kolor
Of all the fortes of Karan Johar, I think, color co-ordination is his strongest one. The evidence of which we first saw in a very fantastic “Tumhi Dekho Na” song from the film “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna”. The song, in isolation, is an epitome of immaculate color choreography. But what makes it work even better in the context of the film is Dev (Shah Rukh Khan) proposing to Maya…
Say hello to India’s iconic song Dola Re. This dance was choreographed by Saroj Khan. This song featured two of Bollywood’s most iconic actresses Miss World 1994 Aishwariya Rai, and Dhak-Dhak Girl, Madhuri Dixit performing a duo. The song consists of music and dance that took place during Durga Puja, to worship the goddess Durga. The song was sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Kavita Krishnamurthy. The song’s meaning was to express love and friendship. These two women in the movie, their character’s lives were spiraling out of control. They both rejoice to shake it off and enjoy the moment.
I thought this duo dance was so interesting to me that I feel like it could relate to anyone. Why is it so famous anyway? It’s the art put into it. These women look so fierce and amazing. It may be very girly but it’s so much fun watching them dance. I used to watch this in my childhood and copy the dance in front of the tv.
The meaning of the song wasn’t super complicated, but very simple. It could also not only relate to women but also relate to men. In fact, I barely see men doing parodies of Bollywood songs like Dola Re. Which gave me a great idea yesterday that I could create a visual of two of Napoleon’s marshals doing the same thing.
Now I wasn’t sure where to start. Thinking about Napoleon’s marshals, I wanted two of his most important ones taking the lead. I was debating Murat and Ney, between Ney and Lannes. I went for Ney and Lannes. I did too many Murats. I hardly do Lannes. I also wanted to do Davout and St. Cyr. But Idk. Maybe switch around marshals whenever the scenes change?
For the women, since it’s a girly song (not always girly), maybe Josephine and Marie Louise, or Hortense de Beauharnais and Aglaé Auguié or her sister Adelé.
the problem with Devdas coming up on shuffle in the Bollywood playlist is that if i am not prepared for it and Dola Re Dola hits i am seized with the immediate urge to pack up run away overseas get myself some dancing lessons and learn kathak/bharatnatyam. if i did that i'd probably be permanently immobile for life tho rip but a gay can dream
I am discovering the world of indian movies and im loving it. Here you go some Paro and Chandramukhi from Devdas request of @safehousebooze <3 ty for showing me the movie
there's nothing more dear to me than taking songs where two people of the same gender sing about their shared love interest (of a different gender) and interpreting the lyrics as being about their queer love for each other instead <3
রকি রানি দেখে গোটা বাংলা মুগ্ধ টোটার কত্থকে, জানেন কী শর্ত ছিল করণের নাচ নিয়ে?
করণ জোহর পরিচালনায় ফিরেছেন দীর্ঘ সাত বছর পরে। রকি অউর রানি কি প্রেম কাহানি-র প্রথম সপ্তাহের রিপোর্ট বলছে ছবি বক্স অফিসে হিট। রণবীর সিং আর আলিয়া ভাটের অভিনয় যেমন প্রশংসা পেয়েছে তেমনই করণ জোহরের পরিচালনা। করণের ছবির মধ্যে যে সমাজবদলের এমন একটা বার্তা থাকবে তা ভাবতে পারেননি অনেকেই। তবে দর্শকদের বিশেষ করে বাংলার মানুষদের কাছে এই ছবির ভালোলাগার আরও একটা জায়গা হচ্ছে দুই বাঙালি অভিনেতা-টোটা রায় চৌধুরী…
