"Hoton Main Aesi Baat" (Beholding a secret) is an enigmatic song from a hugely successful Hindi film "Jewel Thief". In this song, the lead actress (Vaijantimaala) is performing a tribal infused folk dance to give certain signals to the thief unwillingly and without being noticed. Through the words of this eccentric musical display she's showcasing the pain of beholding a mammoth secret the revelation of which can cause great destruction. To much of your amusement, this dance requires mountainous stamina as it goes on for almost 9 minutes with all the running and crisp belly movements. Interestingly, the lead actress performed the entire song in one take. That speak lengths about her caliber and humongous talent.
So sit on the edge of your seats as this song will take you to mystical journey of unparalleled aesthetics infused with ancient mystery.
