The songs have a sense of the subcontinent, courtesy of top Indian choreographer Farah Khan, who taught the Chinese cast how to use their hips and added a few Bollywood dancers to round out the action. Two of Asia's best cinematographers?Peter Pau and Christopher Doyle?split time behind the camera, and each creates distinct visuals.
