What is mujra? is it popular in india?

Question

is mujra like the dances in Omkara or Umrao Jaan?

Answer 1

Mujra is a form/adaptation of Kathak dance originated by north Indian Tawaif during the Mughal era. it takes away more classical elements of the pure kathak dance to make it more appealing to the audience of that time, and adds sensuality fitting a courtesan's dance. Due to the lack of classical training in Bollywood dancers, most kathak related dances in Bollywood films are in reality mujra. In certain modern settings and red light districts, Mujra has become designated as any Indian exotic dance. mujra has taken a new form in Pakistan by becoming less artistic and more seductive especially in Punjabi stage dramas.
