Bollywood!

[annalouwho]

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while. My ACOK commentary kind of zapped me a bit. And I'm still feeling somewhat overwhelmed by all the TV shows I have yet to write about. (The Merlin finale aired on Syfy last night, so add that one to the list.)

But the other day zombres mentioned wanting to just watch Bollywood movies all week, and now I've been feeling the same way. So I thought I'd share my favorite Bollywood musical numbers! And jsyk, I have actually had a pretty narrow focus reregarding Bollywood up to this point, which means that every movie on this list stars one or more of the following three Khans: Aamir (my faaaaaavorite), Shah Rukh, and Saif Ali. They're all wonderful in their own ways. So enjoy!
