Ang Laga De (EN)

Choreography context

For their first Diwali, Chandāga's members were separated. Mouki then decided to present her first solo at a public event organized by l'ICAQ (Indian Cultural Association of Quebec). She was under a lot of pressure, since her last dance number hadn't end up well (watch this video for more info). But when it's Ang Laga De, nothing bad can happen!

Anecdote: The choice of the song was very difficult, because it had to match the criteria :
1. To speak about/make think about fire;

2. To mention the name of Rama;

3. Not to have any muslim reference (it's an hindu festival, it would have been weird);

4. To be beautiful and energetic.

Do you think Ang Laga De match the criteria? Tell us in the comments down below!

The story of the dance is only a young woman, devoted to a flame... Like Parou in Devdas ;)

Song context

Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (A play of bullets, Ram-Leela) is a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film from 2013 starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. Ram and Leela are the Romeo & Juliet of Ranjaar, in Gujarat. Children of two rival families, they decide to escape from violence and to build their life elsewhere, after a riot that took their dear relatives' lives.

Ang Laga De escorts their honeymoon.
