Like many folks in and out of India, I grew up watching Indian cinema both of the regional and Bollywood variety. And whenever a choreographed dance/dream sequence burst out on screen – Oh yeah! My imagination ran wild! My Queer identity without any rules or societal structures to mimic – mapped itself gloriously onto the coy yet vibrant romance that played itself out in booty busting technicolor.
It worked a little something like this :
A (The Hero) got B ( The striking damsel ), Therefore C ( Me ) who wanted to engage in pelvic thrusts of some form or fashion with B had to become A.
Gender became irrelevant. I wanted the girl and hence, adopted the normative Gender roles if you will. I would run around trees with her, pull at her ‘pallu’ mischievously [Cannot…absolutely Cannot resist a woman in a saree] , Kiss her delicate neck while she was arched backwards in my arms, Have her caress me to her sweet bosom etc.etc.etc. In retrospect, it seems like an one way street and heck, I’d love for some of that lovin’ to be directed my way. But apparently, I was very benevolent in my youthful Bollywood dream sequences. As I grew older, they stopped. Maybe because I barely made time to watch Bollywood movies or I grew too fashionably cynical – either way, my musical dreams had lesser and lesser fodder. And I miss them. I miss that inexplicable sense of joy of something so fantastical in my head for me to relish and enjoy with song and dance and music and me and my on-screen honey grooving and busting moves to Bollywood Beats.
But, if I had to choose a Bollywood song from the past decade for my inception dream sequence?
Yes, I’d be Khan. I would edit out the bit where my girl is dancing with my father and 20 others. And I would get more progressive and sync it to this remixed version. Yep! That’s what I would do. Me at my corniest best.
Sooooo, whats your Gay Bollywood Dream Sequence ?

Ooh! Mine would be Tip Tip Barsa Pani with Raveena Tandon. having met her in person (and yah, I am totally showing off), I think that chica is totally stunning! Far be it from me to resist a totally intelligent, seductive Scorpio! Totally awesome.
Btw, love this thought QC:)
hehehehe…for me
Bipasha Basu…and song from JISM – Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai 
Hey QC, thanks for putting up this post.. I remember such indulgences very well
Well, if I had to pick just one.. I guess- Dhak Dhak Karne laga..
And ‘Dekho na’ from Fanaa coz its special(much more than just the visuals)
I would have to go with “Teri Ore” from Singh is King minus Akshay Kumar. Rest is just perfect.
Mine would be the one from Roja.. Yeh haseen waadiyan !!!
Holy cow !!! What a song !!!!!!
i’m going to go with “khuda jaane” because in spite of not liking the song, i’d like to do my running around trees with deepika padukone.
@Tappy : Perfect! I was wondering who would give Raveena company, when I take away from her, Akshay, the song, the rain, the ….
Okay, Let me stop right there!
If I am allowed one more, “Jaanleva” with Arjun Rampal!
Folks, This post has had the most fun comments for me ever – it had me going to youtube every single time and watching the videos of each and every one of your dream sequences !! Thoroughly enjoyable…Thank you all for sharing – I have a feeling my gay bollywood dreams are gonna start up again…
QC…
wow!
I would go with parveen babi….raat baaki…baat baki…
hona hai jo..hojaane do….
enjoyed reading that! <3
… sorry to join the party late, ladies.
so i guess mine would be suraj hua maddhyam. rusty coloured kajol with shimmering black hair and kohl lined eyes. ah. joy.
I was going to say haseen wadia, but that’s taken
umm mine wud be “tumse milke” from the movie Parinda. Just the perfect one for all moods
My one would be kuch na kaho and we would have the sunset in the background and that swing as well.
Got to say all the sequences are quite romantic. I think that’s says quite a lot about gaysi. It’s where all the romantic gaysis hang out.
