One cannot imagine Indian films without dances and music. There are many renowned actors in the country but only a few made a name among movie lovers across the country with their dazzling dances. India has various dance forms and few actors showcased their classical and western dancing skills on the screen. They include Bharat Natyam, Kuchipudi, Kathakali, Disco Dance, Breakdance, etc.
Till the 80s dances used to be normal but drawing inspiration from Hollywood films like Fast Forward, many dance-based films came. The most prominent among them is Mithun Chakraborthy's Disco Dancer. Till that time, Indian films used to showcase only classical dances like the heroine dancing in front of a hero who admired her skills. In Tollywood, ANR brought change to those scenes. Chiranjeevi created a new trend with his exceptional dancing skills. While Mithun Chakraborthy introduced Disco Dance in Bollywood, Chiranjeevi introduced breakdance in Tollywood. Heroines like Radha and Bhanu Priya competed with Chiranjeevi in dances.
Hema Malini and Rekha showcased their dancing skills. In the current generation, Hrithik Roshan made a powerful impact with his dances. Tiger Shroff, Madhuri Dixit, Govinda, and shahid Kapoor made a name for themselves. At present Hrithik Roshan is ruling Bollywood with his dances and Madhuri Dixit is showcasing her talent. In Tollywood even now Chiranjeevi is showing his grace. But among the younger generation, Allu Arjun and NTR are showing their dancing prowess. Ram Charan is known for his dancing moves.
Those who are leading the race as dancers are Allu Arjun and he is followed closely by Hrithik Roshan. Then comes Prabhu Deva, NTR, Chiranjeevi, Madhuri Dixit, Raghava Lawrence,Ram charan, Vijay,Aishwarya Rai, Simbu ,Ganesh Hegde and others.
