4. The 1998 film Dil Se

Features a Bollywood dance scene atop an actual moving train, with no camera tricks or post-production manipulation. The star, Shahrukh Khan (SRK) wore no harness; it is unclear whether any of the dancers had safety equipment. The spectacular shots of the train moving thru the mountainous countryside of southern India, the dizzying shots of the group dancers, and the tactile closeups of SRK and Malaika Arora make this scene cinamatic gold. I do question the ethics of exposing actors to such danger in pursuit of art, however. Had there been casualties, the scene would not be so enjoyable, right? Thank you Uncle Joe for posting this interesting analysis. If anyone would like to check out the video, "srk dancing on top of a train" https://share.google/OLfqJX5o1IcOfHv1k
