Song and dance routines are an essential part of Bollywood movies, even today. I don't think there's any harm in actors and actresses performing a bit in their films.

What I feel is that..dancing skills bring a certain amount of flexibility in an actor's body..which in turn enhances the performances of actors..and they look more natural and easy to the eyes in certain scenes..Or else they end up looking like the likes of Sunny Deols and Sanjay Dutts..Uncomfortable to be more precise..

Other than that if a movie is on a critical and sensible subject..I dont mind if they dont have song and dance sequences..Infact I feel its better.. 😊

Who said movies are only about acting? It's about singing, dancing as well. And most of our cinema is made of musicals. One thing we don't copy from Hollywood, thank god! Even we remake HW movies, we throw in a few songs here and there, somehow. 😆

However, strictly speaking in terms of actors, well they are actors first and their job is to act. But if they are doing a musical, their job is to act like a dancer. And if you're a bad dancer, rather don't sign up for such roles.

Having said that, a great actor does not need to be a good dancer. But if you are a superstar in India and you can do some badass dancing then it's a huge asset. It gives your popularity a veritable push.

Depends on the movie. If it is a masala movie dancing is important since Bollywood mostly makes musicals with dances. It is even better if actors can sing as well...it gives their voice more emotion.

Having said that being a good dancer or singer is not a necessary requirement for being a good actor. If you are not good at dancing and cannot improve, it is best to avoid such movies and do what suits you. Bollywood makes plenty of movies these days where dancing is not needed- the songs are all background songs. It does hurt your popularity though but you gotta do what you can do
