Something has been bothering me for pretty long time and so today I thought I should vent it out. It’s regarding our famous choreographed numbers that are super duper hit in Bollywood. It really doesn’t matter who choreographed them or who has designed them – today all of them will have to take a beating 
If you watch almost all the new hits, none of the costumes matches with the lyrics of the songs. Why?
As far as I understand any work that needs to be picturized, needs to be well coordinated. I am pretty sure they go through enough meetings and discussions discussing the lyrics, tunes, beats of the songs, what type of background it needs and most importantly the costumes required for that particular song. But in actuality what we see is different. So what goes wrong with the so called famous costume designers and choreographers that they end up with a narration that gives out a meaning totally different from its song? Do these well known choreographers and costume designers take their work for granted? Or are they so confident to sell any crap to the audience. And Why?
Most of the Indian songs have lyrics that talk about a chunri, dupatta and other traditional outfits of India but if you watch the songs carefully you will be 
surprised that the actresses that dance to the song are in minis or jeans or some western outfit and there is no chunri or dupatta to be seen for miles. I also have observed that the song will talk about different colors in a dupatta but there is no dupatta at all but the actress is dressed up in a deep neck sexy outfit dancing away to glory on words dupatta. Is this funny or what? To me it did not make sense but if it makes sense to someone else, please make me understand as I think the meaning of the song was lost completely. If I was the director of the movie, I would either force the lyricist to use words mini/ jeans in place of chunri and dupatta or dump the choreographer for not understanding the meaning right or throw the costume designer in a local school to learn costume designing and its meaning all over again. Maybe the directors are out of their mind too that they approve such absurd combination.
No wonder the old songs will always remain GOLD!!!
Okay now that I vented out, I do feel better – See you all tomorrow
