The girl in yellow, dancing on a grid-locked Los Angeles freeway, in the infectious opening sequence of La La Land, is perhaps, the film’s only India connection. Long before we see leading lady Emma Stone twirl around in a fairy tale yellow dress, it is Reshma Gajjar, an Indian American dancer and actor, who sets the tone for the mad musical as she dances to Another Day of Sun, the film’s opening track. She is joined by 32 dancers, four band members, a professional skateboarder, one BMX biker, a free-runner, a hoola hooper and 40 extras. The song has gone on to become such a rage that no discussion on the film is complete without talking about it. How did director Damien Chazelle manage to shoot it all, has been the question on everyone’s minds.
