Cha Cha Cha! Bahut Accha! Award: three disco amigos
Another Rishi delight from Temple, this time with Jeetendra (!) and Rakesh Roshan (where did Hrithik get his dancing prowess?). My favorite moments, which are hard to discern from among all the general disco goodness: baby pink and blue backup dancer outfits (à la Disco Dancer) and the gentle shuffling and balletic arms at around 5:05.

Beth - you are making me look like someone with a Rishi obsession when in fact I pointed out these songs as cautionary material.
Although the ballet arms with non synchro kicks is delightful.
Someone should do a clip series of Jeetendra vs. Rishi to determine the early disco king, I think. (Mithun being the latter disco king, of course.)
Rum - there is nothing I don't love about this. Have you seen this film? Is there MORE? Rakesh to me looks very uncertain most of the time.
Ajnabi - that's exactly what I thought too!
Temple - There is nothing wrong with being obsessed with Rishi. It's happened to some of the finest people we know. Plus other Kapoors are already sufficiently hadled and it is only fair that he have his share.
I have a feeling that if we tread carefully through youtube's suggestions for related material, we will find disco nuggets a-plenty. I for one am happy to volunteer to go spelunking.
Bollyviewer - YES! This is all goodness and light! I do not understand the splotches either - amoeba, perhaps? I forgot to mention that in another version of this video, you can see that Rishi and Rakesh are called up on stage to join Jeetendra, and they have to undergo a costume quick-change, thus making their leaping splotchy entrances all the more special!
