How many of you have drooled and moaned over Ranbir Kapoor's intriguing towel dance in Saawariya? Well...its definitely a post metrosexual syndrome off late..Gone are the days when the object of a sexual fantasy were restricted only within the female appearance in a movie (from Raj kapoor to Yash Chopra to Mani Ratnam). I personally felt that the towel dance in Saawariya has been one of the most stylishly choreographed sequence in the history of indian cinema! Sanjay's trick was definitely to blurr out the gender boundaries at the level of how bodies are perceived by male and female. A male sexual form in its full glory gyrating into a chartbusting number redefining male sexuality in Bollywood movies.Ranbir Kapoor in his firm,chiseled out,sculpted body baring it all in front of the audience,combine with it a Monalisa draped in indian finery,Bhansali's own surrealistic obsession with colors,from monochrome to multicolor (black,white,blue,green and red)..light and shadow..giving the song a visually stunning,overwhelming in opulence and often, Moulin Rouge in appeal
I ve heard someone referring it as a 'coming of age' scenario of Homo-Eroticism !! well...i dont agree,atleast then it wouldn't ve been a drooling factor for the countless female fan followings of Ranbir Kapoor!
P.S. : Well, Ranbir's been a drooling factor for me as well ;)
very well observed, well sketched out info.. ve'nt seen the flick as yet but ve seen the song..the camera work is brilliant
