A Maybe Bollywood Dance Scene (as seen on MeFi) search
August 12, 2022 7:25 PM   Subscribe

So a few years ago (pre-COVID I'm pretty sure) I am absolutely sure that I saw a Bollywood-esque music video on the blue. It featured a prominent and famous (Indian, I'm pretty sure again) actress and actor, and they were amazing in their dancing. And now I can't find it. Help!

I have no idea what the song was about. I think the scene was a street scene, and included romance. And amazing dancing. But I think the post was about how famous one of the two of them were, and how they were amazing, and well-regarded. Searching YouTube and even Google just gives me stupid AGT or DSDS type videos, and this was definitely professionally produced and probably a scene from a popular movie. Can anyone find the post or the video? I can't:( I'll be around tomorrow to follow up on other questions, and thank you!

Was it by any chance performed on top of a train?

This is a long shot, but years ago I remember seeing a video on the blue of a flash mob in Times Square advertising Bollywood Hero. Can't find the post or comment now. The song, Dhoom Taana, is from Om Shanti Om, a film about a famous actress (Deepika Padukone) and the everyman who falls in love with her (Shah Rukh Khan). In that scene from the movie, Om imagines himself performing on stage with Shanti.

I don't even recall the movie but the dance sequence was unforgettable: In Shah Rukh Khan's dream, Aishwarya Rai appeared (she wasn't in the rest of the movie) and the song is Ishq Kameena

Response by poster: No, none of these are it, though they are amazing. And thanks for all the suggestions.

I might be conflating two similar videos, but there might have been Vespa-style scooters in one? And it, or they, are definitely from 2015 or later. The man in the video I'm thinking of has a beard but is young. I know that doesn't help much, and I might be wrong. And it's not a compilation video; it is one scene that I'm pretty sure is from a movie, but it could be taken on is own as a music video. And they smile a lot.

Keep the ideas coming!

Response by poster: Also, it's just a video with dancing and music. No special effects, no fires... Just the couple dancing and backup people
