Found this wickedly funny video of an accomplished mime doing a Bollywood song. I don't know who the mime is but he has defintely captured the inherent gayness of the average Bollywood hero (IMHO almost all of them are really that ... average) who can lip-synch to entire songs. Some of them actually walk away with Padmashrees.
One thing that I really liked about this mime was how he lapsed into a wierd sub-sequence in the song when he cannot seem to find his other song-mate.
Now, we can shake Bollywood filmdom and a twenty dozen instances such as this will fall out, but one sequence I remember vividly (because it had Amitabh in it I guess) which drove me really crazy was a song sequence in Geraftaar where Amitabh Bacchan and Kamal Hasan are singing a song in tandem and each cannot find the oether .... and they are separated by a lousy wall ! Shit, I may be taking this a bit seriously you know but I remember I was actually rolling on the floor laughing at that sequence while all my friends and family members sitting in front of the TV, were looking at me as if I was crazy ....
