My dad sent me this article from the Hindustan Times:
Baz Luhrmann, the fantasy and love obsessed Hollywood director of films like Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet, professed his admiration for Bollywood and its Shakespeare-inspired stories. He plans to make films in India in the future and work with “music maestro A.R. Rahman.”
Bollywood is the perfect fit for Luhrmann. Everyone knows Indian films are full of extended song and dance sequences that come out of nowhere. Luhrmann’s films have a sophistication and attention to detail which would allow traditional Bollywood films to be taken more seriously by critics.
Chamma Chamma, the song below, is from the movie China Gate, and is used the Luhrmann’s most famous film, Moulin Rouge.
