This was really cute, and further convinces me that I need to see this movie.

(He's not going to set her on fire, is he??)

I'm glad you liked the vid. The film is gorgeous in the way only Bollywood can be, and it's worth it for the musical numbers alone. There is a darker side to the film though, which you've picked up on. I'm going to spoil for that below, if anyone wants the warning.

[SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS] The hero doesn't set her on fire, but the villian does. It's a reincarnation story, so he gets his comeuppance the next time around on the wheel of life. The fire itself is dramatic, but not gruesome. [END OF SPOILERS]

SHANTI!!!! She's beauty, she's grace. I am deeply enamored of this homage to her timeless elegance and her many, many, many amazing outfits. I may have already watched it twice.

(....sorry about all the fire, Shanti.)

I love how the clips flow into each other and are framed the same visually.

Thank you!

I'm stuck somewhere between "Ooooooo pretty!" and "Wait what??" Plus, I feel a strong desire to check out the source so I can know all the rest.

I really love the flow of motion across shots, btw; it's gorgeous.

Thank you! It's gorgeous, isn't it? Those Bollywood colours. Yum. Such a pleasure to vid.

If you do watch the film, you might want to read my warning to someone above, in which I mention a possible trigger.
