Thread: Bollywood gypsy dance videos

Most Bollywood versions of gypsy dance are usually interpretations of gypsy dancing by Bollywood, not always invested in authenticity. Often, the gypsies' songs would help the protagonist figure out his thoughts/often his love, as they're associated with passion and abandon. Some of my favourite Bollywood gypsy dance-featuring videos are:

1) “Rasiya” from Mangal Pandey:

2) “Pardesi Pardesi” from Raja Hindustani:

3) “Choli ke Peeche kya hain” from Khalnayak:

4) This video is from a film about a class of professional mourners who expressed grief at the deaths of members of upper classes of society in Rajastan. It’s a beautiful movie called “Rudaali”:

5) “Morni Baga ma bole”:

6) “Main Albeli” from Zubeida:

7) “Banjare hum banjare”- from a film from the 1970s:

8) From the 1958 film “Phagun”, featuring the legendary Madhubala:

9) “Yama Yama” from film “Shaan”:
