India’s film industry is larger than Hollywood’s, long dubbed Bollywood, with their gaudy Musical productions and mass production of mostly B-movie line scripts.  However, people love it in one of the most populated places in the world and it has now inspired another entry in the crowded exercise field.  The Bollywood Dance Workout is hosted by Hemalayaa, a female fitness figure who guides the viewer through her own unique brand of workout.

 

At times, I wondered if this was exercise or belly dancing lessons, but the main program is exercise and broken down into seven convenient subsections.  You too will learn Bhangra Style and much more in what Acacia is hoping will be exercise with some kind of exotic appeal.  Those interested will not be disappointed, but only expect so much.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1/16 X 9 image is soft, yet adequate for the exercises.  Color can be good, but we have seen better, even in the few ex, but we have seen better, even in the few exercise discs we have looked at.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo is simple and with no real surrounds.  Extras include bonus exercises and isolating the music or instructions depending on what suits you best.
