Single shot in 'chale jaise hawaein'


Hi

I believe the song introducting Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan was shot uncut for long time during its first half. The camera followed Rao all the time and remaining time of first half of he song was uncut too .

I do not recall any other example of such incredible choreography and direction

What d ya think

reply

i agree the song has really long shots ..even the second half of the song is one shot while the camera moves from Zayed to Amrita & then back to Zayed and so on and so forth..altho i dont like Farah Khan much but yes this is one of the best choreographed song i have ever seen along with pehla nasha of JJWS... again choreographed by her..

reply

i noticed that too....very impressive

Amrita didn't actually look exhausted though! In fact, I thought she looked remarkably relaxed considering every take they tried was a complete run-through. I have loads of admiration for her. She looked really professional, and kept a lovely smile throughout, or at least until the entrance of Zayed's character.

This sequence was the highlight of the film. One of the best choreography I've ever seen. Rest of the movie sucked.

reply

The song was shot as one shot take. Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan had to practice for it ahead of time so they could get it right in one shot!

I also feel that the song was amazingly done and choreographed! I would love to see Farah Khan do more one shot dance sequences!!!
