Dil To Pagal Hai
This weeks SOTW doesn’t focus as much on the music (although
it its essential), but more so on the dancing that goes with it and the woman
who brings it to life. As most people know, Madhuri Dixit is a trained Kathak
dancer and she excels at it. It is something she enjoys immensely, and I would
not be surprised if she loved Kathak and dancing in general more than acting. There
are few times in her career where we have been able to see her true talents in
this classical form of Indian dancing, but we get lucky enough in this film to
get quite the treat. Madhuri makes her ghungroos sing with her every move as
SRK accompanies her on the drums. Kathak with drums, the way it’s meant to be.
There are a few different ideas as to where Kathak originated. In the myths,
Shiva created the dance and when he did, I’m sure he had a woman like Madhuri
in his mind. She is never more feminine and graceful in her dancing than when
she does the dancing form that she has been trained to do since she was at such
a young, precious age. So enjoy this Song Of The Week. Enjoy something a little
more out of the box from the other 90s Indian masala films and songs. Enjoy
beauty, in the best form possible.
