Dance in the rain
Yes, the good old rain dance. Whether you’ve received some great news, are out on a date and need some rainy romance or have just had your heartbroken, then the rain dance is for you. Rain seems to be a big fascination in Bollywood which is embraced, particularly when it is pouring and won’t stop…we’re not talking about light showers, but huge downpours which leave you absolutely drenched. So the next time there’s a downpouring of rain, make the most of it but Bollywood style.
Embracing nature when you’re in love
Ah, those good old classic Bollywood films where the best way to show what loves does to you is by running into nature and romancing with your partner in different natural locations in one song, yes all in one song…fields, desserts, mountains...the list is endless! Now I know that some of these locations are rather exotic, but there’s nothing wrong with your back garden or local park. So go lay on the grass, romance around a tree or even splash each other with some water from a nearby pond…who knew that nature could be so romantic!
Exaggerate your shocked facial expressions
If you’re a drama queen, then you’ll surely love this one. Every time when shocking news is found out by characters in Bollywood films and dramas, the camera suddenly zooms in on each character’s face and we see their facial expressions being overtaken with shock, from the eyes opening wide to the mouth gaping open and not to forget the dramatic background music mirroring their expression. Oh and also make sure you don’t forget to repeat your facial expression numerous time as well as in slow motion too.
Discreet kissing
The old school Bollywood films when kissing or romance was not allowed to be explicit…where have those days gone! If you’re someone who likes to keep things traditional, then you may like to try the romancing, but save the kissing for behind a tree where people can’t see you. In Bollywood films don’t be surprised if right before the kiss the scene quickly transitions or fades away.
Randomly break out into a song and dance
And the one that you’ve probably all been waiting for, the classic breaking into a big song and dance at the most random moments. Bollywood films are renowned for their vibrant mix of songs and dance which can take you on an emotional musical journey. Regardless of your mood there is bound to be a Bollywood song to sing or dance your heart out to.
So there you have it, 5 Bollywood spices to add to your life…enjoy re-creating these iconic Bollywood film scenes!
