Bollywood Goes Disco!

If you think you can stop watching this video before it’s finished, think again. Many treasures are hidden in its 7 minutes. Just wait until the audience member gets on the stage and starts to “get down with her bad self.” This clip is from the 1983 Bollywood film Disco Dancer.

If you glance at my site, you’ll probably notice tons of 70s kitsch and disco. This is just a current obsession; mars poetica is not a disco heaven. I have a theory that people are getting tired of 80s nights and that they will soon be replaced by 70s nights. And if it doesn’t happen, it should. How many times can you really listen to “Like a Prayer”?
