Dil Se (for you and me)
Bollywood continues. This week we started a trend by going with another Shah Rukh Khan film - Dil Se. Unlike last week’s K3G, Dil Se served us some fairly heavy plot over majestic landscape rather than petty family squabbles with too many helpings of billionaire luxury. Sadly there were no subtitles, but we were able to follow the gist of the story to its exciting and unexpected end.
Today I found a new hobby: mining YouTube for Bollywood song-and-dance videos. It is a treasure trove for known favorites and for uncovering new prospects for your movie queue. My picks from Dil Se…
It doesn’t get much cooler than this: dancing on top of a train traveling across beautiful mountain countryside. Beware of those swiveling hips, SRK! Chaiya Chaiya
This video pulled me in with its haunting melody and amazing cinematography. Don’t miss the burning tree followed by the reversed flowing silky garments! Satrangi Re

Added on December 2nd, 2006 at 2:06 pmReflecting on this movie experience - bizarre and unique, I must say - I thought of the post title “Dil Se: Say What?” You were more patient than I to embrace an unsubtitled Hindi movie! I wanted to know exactly what SRK’s eyebrows were SAYING, damn it, besides, of course, “Check out my hotness, ladies.”
Thanks for digging up the amazing “Chaiya Chaiya” video with subtitles. At least now I know what he was singing on the train, but I still don’t get what it has to do with anything else in the story. I insist the train siren is NOT the sullen female protagonist. Who the hell is she? A Bollywood mystery.
From what I can tell, this was a brilliant SRK vehicle. He looks good getting wet in the rain, dancing atop a train, AND crying in anguished love and getting the crap beaten out of him. Let’s totally look for a copy with subtitles.
