It's just a small obsession ... nothing to worry about.

I just can't get this tune or this music video out of my head! If you saw the movie Inside Man with Clive Owen and Denzel Washington, a hip-hop version of this song played over the end credits. It is called Chaiya Chaiya and it is originally from the Bollywood (India/Hindi film industry) movie Dil Se which came out many years ago. The setting and choreography of this video is amazing (it takes place on top of a moving train). Hindi music videos are trippy and fun. The women sing like they are inhaling helium and everyone dances in sinc like there's no tomorrow. If you haven't watched many Bollywood films, here are a couple of recommendations: Salaam Bombay, The Namesake (on my list to see) and my personal favorite Monsoon Wedding.



Enjoy!

We love Bollywood movies in our household. The kids, 4-15 love them too. LAGAAN is a good one too.
