Just in case you're turning up here for the first time, I figured I'd better put out a fresh post.
With a video.
The song is "Chaiyya Chaiyya", from the film "Dil Se". You might be familiar with it if you've seen Spike Lee's film "The Inside Man".
I love the song, and I love this clip -- for those of you following the Oscars, the music is by AR Rahman, the lyrics are by Gulzar (both of whom are nominated for an Oscar for the song "Jai Ho" from "Slumdog Millionaire". It's sung by Sapna Awasthi and Sukhwinder Singh. Sukhwinder Singh sang "Jai Ho", and AFAIK, he'll be singing it at the Oscars tonight.
So there's a little context for those of you dipping into the filmi world for the first time.
Did I mention that I love this? I love this. Shah Rukh Khan dances on the top of a train. So. Freaking. Cool.
