Filming of the dance scene for the song Yeh Ishq Hai (This Is Love), in the movie "Jab We Met", is underway in the Naggar Castle courtyard. The dance routines are highly choreographed and shot in very small blocks from different angles, and not necessarily in sequence.
It’s a time consuming process that requires days of work, many costume changes, and re-arrangements of the set. It’s mesmerising to watch the set burst into life with extremely enthusiastic and over the top routines, only to have the energy disappear just as quickly as soon as "cut" is called. The strength of one's grip on sanity can also be tested, as the same song is played over and over for days on end as each movement is repeatedly filmed.
The director, Imtiaz Ali (in the gray sweater), can been seen in discussions with one of the dancers. These dancers were all local Tibetan people and they danced so gracefully.
