I’m a huge fan of Bollywood and Om Shanti Om is one of my favorites. It stars mega-star Shah Rukh Khan and is written and directed by famed Bollywood choreographer Farah Khan.

Like many Indian films, Om Shanti Om draws from and pays homage to Hollywood. In this clip choreographed to the song “Dhoom Taana” we see something a little rarer, not only is Hollywood celebrated but so is old Bollywood. So not only do we see scenes inspired by Vincente Minnelli’s The Pirate and the candy-colored Bye Bye Birdie, there is the wonderful recreation of elements from Bollywood classic Gumnaam and at one point legendary Indian actor Sunil Dutt is digitally inserted into the film. Fans of Om Shanti Om have recognized dozens upon dozens of references to old school Bollywood in the movie. My knowledge of Indian cinema is pretty good for a westerner, but in an industry that produces thousands of films a year, there’s no way I can possibly identify all the movies that Om Shanti Om pays tribute to.
