Moviegoers would feel cheated without the dance routine... Just as we now expect every action movie to have bullet-time effects... By the way, the Indian thriller that was posted a while ago is just a parody... Chiranjeevi is the best paid actor in India, and that video is a Yankovic-type parody in Bollywood style, part of a film named Khaidi.

On a more contemporary note, check out Virgin comics - they've taken ancient Indian stories and heroes and mixed them with more modern timelines..and the result is quite impressive. Check out "Sadhu", "Devi" and "Ramayana" I’m from India and I haven’t seen that Superman before..yikes! :)
