The dancing was good, even though the classical Indian dancer purist in me is cringing at some of the misrepresentation of hand gesture names etc.
I have to do some introspection about what degree of snobbishness is causing me to balk a little at the classification of Bollywood dance as an 'Indian cultural style'.
But they definately performed it with a lot more athleticism and strength then real Bollywood actors, because none of the stars are that fit or trained. :)
