Re Hindi Movie songs : my nieces in Australia do not understand or speak Hindi. Yet they can sing and dance any songs from Hindi movies they have watched perfectly, just like in the movie. Amazing!

Also OT/Indian Music/Film The music in most Indian films, I find to be quite amazing---though I don't understand the lyrics, it matters not---the music, dance and overall production values are top notch ( and, ususally, intuitive..the fact that in breaks in to the drama without seguay(sp?) is a drama all it's very own. Watching the flicks have given me leads into CD's I spin on a world music show I host every week. I'm not sure if you were referring to the last scene in Monsoon Wedding where you inferred a "surprise " but if it was, it was this: When N. Shah ( wasn't he also in Gandhi? playing Nehru? ) returned to Uganda, the music last played was not Indian at all. And it wasn't even Ugandan ( if my African music expertise does not fail me here ) but rather Congolese. More exact, a style of dance music called Soukous ( an intoxicating blend of Afro rhythms and Cuban rhumba ) that ended the movie and went right into the credits. A bittersweet ending, to say the least....coming back to the land he and all Indians were driven out of by Amin. Also OT: Dil Se: the movie and the music, especially of course, Chaiyya Chaiyya...and the beautiful opening to that song: an Islamic call to prayer which stirred some contraversy amongst the largely Hindi audience but, bravely, paid homage (sp? ) to the Islamic population in India., Maybe you can help me. I rented an Indian flick from Blocky and I want it again, to own. A flick about an Indian ragtag Rugbee team that beat a British one during the early 1900's or abouts. The match's stake was a bet about taxes. Do you recall it. If you do, what's the title to the flick. tia lazarre
