70's Era Bollywood: An Om Shanti Om picspam

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

So the new challenge at picspammy is Color Focus, which looks like lots of fun and I sort of have a couple picspams in mind for this. I managed to finish this particular picspam quickly so I'm posting it now. :P


So, if you, like Jon Stewart, have not seen Om Shanti Om and have no clue what it's all about, it's basically a Bollywood movie about... making Bollywood movies. If I had to break it down, the movie is approximately:

50% crack
25% fanservice
10% DISCO
10% meta on the Indian film industry and
5% Bollywood references and in-jokes that my mom's generation would understand better than me

The first half of the movie takes place in the 1970's and pays homage to a lot of the Bollywood cliches and classics from that period. What makes it particularly conducive to this challenge is that 90% of the 1970's scenes are either bright and colorful or have a certain pop of color in the background that makes it really visually interesting. I hope you all enjoy the picspam!
