Hrithik Roshan - live performances at the 12th Rajiv Ghandhi 2009

I have watched Hrithik Roshans live performance at the 12th Rajiv Gandhi Awards. The music that opened the performance was true traditional Bhangra music, with traditional Bhangra moves and choreography. It started off with all men dancing with swords on the stage, I found it very interesting and enjoy watching the choreography in detail. Some female dancers came on stage to join the men wearing traditional Bhanrga costumes. The music didnt change genres through the whole performances it stayed traditional Bhangra the whole way through but as the performance went on the movements started to get more westernised like the movements we choreographed for our Bhangra performance. As it became more westernised the movements got stronger and sharper. There was a random part where clowns came onto the stage like they where in a circus, this was to follow the tradition of comedy as Bhanga performances always have an aspect of comedy.

I watched the choreography in detail, and saw like all Bhangra performances it was very energetic at all times, the steps they did where very quick too! But they again followed Bhangra tradition and danced in unison. Everyone followed Hrithik Roshans moves and gave the same feel across. The movements he did where very repetative but it looked good as everyone was doing it. Hrithik Roshan was very good at isolations these occured a lot throughout the performance. Even though isolations would be classed as more street dance, Hrithik Roshan still mixed it into Bhanrga to make the performance flow and more exciting to watch. Even though the movements they where doing had a westernised feel to them, they still stuck to beautiful traditional music and costumes, I thought having this mix made it very different and exciting to watch. The way they move is so beautiful, and I can see why people look up to Hrithik Roshan as he has such a talent!

  1. A lovely review of a Bhangra performance Myriam. I will use this as evidence towards Unit 2, Task 1 (Bhangra).

    Some pictures or links to video footage would be nice!
