Bollywood Halloween Costumes ~ Do You Have Your Costume Ready?

The music for Bollywood productions is called filmi music (from Hindi, meaning "of films"). Songs from Bollywood movies are generally pre-recorded by professional session singers, with the actors then lip synching the words to the song on-screen, often while dancing. While most actors are excellent dancers, few are also excellent singers. One notable exception was Kishore Kumar, who starred in several major films in the 1950s while also having a stellar career as a playback singer.

For men, traditional clothes are the kurta. In south India men wear long, white sheets of cloth. In north Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi and Oriya these are called dhoti, while in Tamil they are called veshti. Over the dhoti, men wear shirts, t-shirts, or anything else.
A Sherwani is a long coat-like jacket fastened with buttons. It comes to just below the knees, hitting somewhere high on the calf. The jacket has a Nehru collar, which is a collar that stands up. This jacket is often cream, light ivory, or gold colored for weddings, especially those in the morning. It can be embroidered with gold or silver. While traditionally light in color, the jackets can be worn in dark colors, like reds, blacks, or navy, typically later in the day. A scarf is sometimes added to the jacket over one or both shoulders. The Sherwani is worn with tighter fitting pants or trousers called churidars. Churidars are trousers that are loose around the hips and thighs, but are tight and gathered around the ankle.
