    Are there any Indian movies that are an actual musical?

    I'm a westerner that watches a lot of Indian movies, and I've notice that despite how prevalent musical numbers are in Indian cinema, I've yet to see an Indian musical. In Western musicals, the musical numbers drive the story and used every time there is a strong emotional beat. But this rarely seems to the case in Indian movies. Most of the strong emotional beats in Indian movies are done through dialogue, and the only time musical numbers tend to be used for emotional moments are when it's for the romance plot. This isn't even to mention the times when the musical number feels disconnected to the plot, especially for item songs. Are there any Indian movies that use musical numbers in the way a Western musical would?
