Taal - Ishq Bina
Ishq Bina...the second musical dance piece that was offered to the audience in the movie can be rightly described as subtle dancing with a lot of power. The song itself had a lot of beats, a mix of qawali, classical flute, different beats of the tabla, the accordian and a variety of other beats and rhythm which makes the song a pleasure to hear.
The USP of this choreography done by Shiamak Davar is the setting and the color combinations that have been used. The setting comprises of beautiful black, cream and white patterns, be it the wood carvings or the checked black and white floors combined with the soothingly bright costumes that ranged from red, green, yellow, grey and orange that were complemented with traditional caps, making the whole setting quite appealing to the eye. According to me, if the ambience is created wisely, half the battle is won as it only enhances the choreography further.
Kudos to the troupe dancers who are the main stars of this particular choreography with occasional glimpses of Akshay Khanna and Aishwarya Rai. The troupe is absolutely perfect in terms of their timing, co-ordination, positions, beats and rhythm. Each one of them deserve full marks for their energy which makes such a subtle dance so powerful. The costume colors have been used creatively within the choreographinization, as at times the dancers perform in a scattered manner but during formations, positions are exchanged innovatively and you realise that they are in perfect color coordination with each other forming pairs or groups of the same colors.
Another point that can be noted in this choreography is that the setting has been made as natural as possible, nothing seems staged, for example, the friends at the sides watching the dances and giggling amongst themselves, young girls lighting the candles at the background, the boys singing in an impromptu manner with the musicians who provide the evidence of the music and the taals that have been accommodated in the song.
The choreography primarily comprises of traditional folk movements with a hint of Kathak during the instrumental phases which seems to be depicting the relationship between Radha-Krishna which is one of the most popular epitome used to represent love in Hinduism. Since, the lyrics of the revolve around the concept of love and its essence, these hand symbols complement perfectly. The sound of the ghungroos imbibed within the background music that is matched with perfectly timed hand and feet movements only increase the charm of the choreography.
On the whole, a fantastic choreographinization that blends perfectly with the natural setting and is an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to !
