A song sequence that frequently appears in Bollywood films. Inspired by his beautiful surroundings, or by a beautiful love interest, the character sings a rousing anthem to demonstrate either his patriotism or his love, while defying the laws of gravity. The vehicle needn't be a bus; it could be on any vehicle. Trains are just as likely.

  • A song sequence that frequently appears in Bollywood films. Inspired by his beautiful surroundings, or by a beautiful love interest, the character sings a rousing anthem to demonstrate either his patriotism or his love, while defying the laws of gravity. The vehicle needn't be a bus; it could be on any vehicle. Trains are just as likely. Examples of Dancing on a Bus include: * A notable example is the "Chaiyya Chaiyya" opening song from Dil Se, where the characters dance on top of a moving train. * Makes an appearance in Salaam-E-Ishq, in the song "Dil Kya Kare". * Shows up in Veer-Zaara, when Veer sings "Aisa Des Hai Mera". * In the Hindi movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Surinder dances on top of a little yellow car while singing his signature song, Haule Haule. He also sings and dances on top of a bed. * Not a Bollywood film, but a variant of this does happen in Across the Universe * A non-Bollywood example: The film of the musical of the film Hairspray features a musical number sang and danced, in part, on a school bus. * "The Trolley Song" from Meet Me in St Louis. * "Man on the Flying Trapeze" from It Happened One Night. * Star Spangled Rhythm has a cartoonish sequence in which Betty Hutton sings "I'm Doin' It For Defense" while struggling to stay on a jeep. * Austin Powers dances with Miss Kensington on a double-decker bus as Burt Bacharach plays the piano. * In At The Circus, Groucho sings "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" in a train car. * In A Hard Day's Night, The Beatles sing "I Should Have Known Better" in a baggage car on a train. * The music video for Bjork's Big Time Sensuality films Bjork singing and dancing in the bed of a truck slowly driving in New York City. * In Bells Are Ringing, "Hello, Hello There" builds into a big dance number on a subway car.
