"Genie Rap" from the Bollywood movie Aladin
This is the song I improved to at the Holiday Hafla. I inflicted this on my FB pals a while back, but LJ is ever-so-much nicer. ( So here it is (again, for some of you): )

A cute, sweet little video for a cute, sweet little song. Aamir Khan is looking soooo adorable here!

"Laga Reh" by Shehzad Roy (With English Subtitles)
[Error: unknown template video]
This isn't the best video quality, but the subtitles help the Urdu-impaired (such as myself) catch the sly jabs in his lyrics. There seems to be some controversy about this song... a recent NYT video article claims the song was banned in Pakistan and Roy received death threats over it. Comments indicate it was never banned. Anyhow, I like it. And I like Shehzad Roy.

My latest favorite song. A.R. Rahman, circa 2004. It gets me kind of like "Chale Chalo" does.

From the upcoming movie "Kurbaan". Lovely imagery. And not only is Saif Ali Khan a joy to behold, he is an incredible actor. Looking forward to this one, although it'll probably tear me up just like "New York" did.

We watched "Tropic Thunder" last night (had its ups and downs, but RDJr. and Tom Cruise were amazing). The movie starts with faux "previews" of the "stars'" other films. This one made me ROFLMAO - especially when the Enigma track kicked in.

One of the things that keeps me fascinated by WoW is the lore and the genuine poignancy of many of the quest storylines. Here, Cranius has written a song about the little ghost of Pamela, the fall of Darrowshire to the Scourge, the redemption and ultimate return of her father. It's just plain beautiful.

"Dhadak Dhadak" from the movie Bunty Aur Babli. With english subtitles so Hindi-deficient persons like myself can see how beautiful the lyrics are... a song of wild dreams, running away from small towns, making a life in the great big world. I LOVE this.
(The whole movie was a lot of fun, too. ^.^)

Exclusive - "Hadippa The Remix" from DIL BOLE HADIPPA!

Some nice glimpses of The Chest (of Shahid Kapoor) and Rani Mukherjee, who just looks so damned adorable in drag. Have I mentioned I love drag kings? Or in this case, maybe she's a drag prince...

Chale Chalo
Heard this song in "Kal Ho Naa Ho" last night and was so moved by the lyrics I was shocked to find it wasn't on the soundtrack! But that's because it was originally from the movie "Lagaan" - which is apparently about cricket*. Still, it's such a powerful song.
We will now take the courageous route
We will shake the earth, we will show everyone
Who is king, who are the ruled ones
We will shadow the earth, now we will show
What the status of our people is
Again and again, speak my friend
May victory be ours and defeat be theirs
May no fears now enter our minds
Come, let us move on
May every shackle be opened up,
Come, let us move on. (chale chalo)
* ( My bad, there is a hell of lot more to the story than just cricket... )

Om Shanti Om ~ Dard-e-Disco
[Error: unknown template video]
You know I couldn't let a day pass without a shot of Bollywood, right?
Watched the first half (?) of "Om Shanti Om" last night and had some hearty laughs. This video (indeed, the whole movie) is a campy satire of Bollywood itself, from the 70's to the present.
"Dard-e-disco" means "Pain of Disco". *snerk*
Gotta admit, Shahrukh Khan is lookin' pretty good though.

RDF TV - The Baloney Detection Kit - Michael Shermer

OMG! A 15-minute video with almost no dancing! ^.^
Srsly, I adore Michael Shermer and this guide is a production of the Richard Dawkins Foundation, so what's not to love?
Born from Carl Sagan's observation that there's a lot of baloney out there and we need a kit to detect it, this vid provides the ten crucial questions to ask regarding sketchy claims of truth.

Upcoming Bollywood movie trailers!
Attention durgablue: Shahid Kapoor is in a new film that looks as adorable as he is. Plus there's a cute crossdressing girl who's really good at cricket. ^.^
( Dil Bole Hadippa! )
Also, a love-hate relationship movie about a stuntman and a model (Kareena Kapoor) - with Sylvester Stallone! Look for the Universal amusement park sets; and I *want* his skull jacket. I also love the part where she kicks him in the shin. ^.^
Kambakkht Ishq
PS - Another one with Shahid, coming in August. Can't quite figure the plot out, but he's running barechested with horses so it's got to be good, right?
( Kaminey )
Observation on Indian film companies: Yash Raj will let you embed their trailers... Erosentertainment won't. WTF?
