Item number/Playing With


 * Basic Trope: A song/dance number in a Bollywood film that serves to titillate the audience.
 * Played Straight: Anjali and a bunch of Chorus Girls do a dance number.
 * Exaggerated: The number is a Big Lipped Alligator Moment; Anjali isn't even a main character (and is never seen or mentioned again after this number)
 * Inverted: Anjali sings a song that is relevant to the plot (such as an I Want Song, a Villain Song, etc.) and is modestly dressed while doing so.
 * Justified: Anjali is a performer in a Show Within a Show and actually serves a purpose in the film (besides looking pretty).
 * Subverted: Anjali sings a beautiful I Want Song that is relevant to the plot.
 * Double Subverted: But the song involves a Wet Sari Scene, suggestive lyrics, or some other form of Fan Service.
 * Deconstructed:
 * Reconstructed:
 * Parodied: Anjali's performance is not only a BLAM, but resembles something you might see in a Western strip club.
 * Lampshaded: Anjali sings about being an "Item Girl" and how it has made her rich and famous and gained her lots of fanboys.
 * Averted: No songs or dances are performed for the purpose of titillation, and all are relevant to the story.
 * Enforced: "We need to promote our film and make people want to watch it."
 * Invoked: Anjali performs in a Show Within a Show
 * Defied: Anjali doesn't want to make a spectacle of herself.
 * Discussed:
 * Conversed: "How was that relevant?"
 * Played For Laughs: Anjali is Hollywood Homely and provides Fan Disservice.
 * Played For Drama: Anjali is a victim of Go Go Enslavement.
