Träume in Pink, Gold, Orange

At first Christiane Grefe mentions the high security standards of the film studios of Bollywood. On the streets there are a lot of people, that have different kinds of jobs, who would do a lot to visit the Bollywood film factory. The actors seem to be superstars in India and are admired by the Indians for entertaining them and also for the fact that the workers can forget their life in Mumbai for a while. The singers manage to do this by singing, dancing and performing dramatic love stories that can touch hearts.

But the everyday life in the dream factory consists, apart from tailors that make the costumes, of bored guys and girls and of course of waiting. In the film business there are also some famous choreographers like Vaibhavi Merchant whose biography is performed on the stage. She received a lot of prizes and has worked for 16 productions of films in 2004.

Choreography plays an important part in such films because the dances can connect the different parts like love, comedy and gangster elements or tell their own story. The choreographies also combine different dance styles and unit them.  All together about 800 Bollywood films are released every year.
