Shake a leg with Happy New Year’s Indiawaale dance tutorial


  • English
  • Arabic

One, two, three … put your hands up in the air, while simultaneously raising your right leg. Then, bring down the arms in a namaste position. Throw in an imaginary pull and few claps into the mix. There, you've mastered a few dance steps from Happy New Year's first song IndiaWaale.

Director Farah Khan’s latest Bollywood movie with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani and Sonu Sood is set for a Diwali release.

The production company Red Chillies Entertainment has released the movie’s first song, along with the making of the video and a tutorial to learn the steps to IndiaWaale. Easy to follow if you consider the ‘changing of a light bulb’, ‘stomping on an insect’ and ‘head bobbling’ gestures, aka Bollywood dance moves, a cakewalk.

Happy New Year was largely shot at the Atlantis The Palm in Dubai. Last month, King Khan promised the cast of the film will be in the emirate on October 22 for the premiere.

“This is where we started our journey and this is where we want to end it,” he said.
