A Spike Lee Bollywood Bank Heist Caste Joint


Wouldn't you like to see an intriguing drama? Do you enjoy plots that twist and turn? Do you like a movie with a great intro song? Then The Inside Man is for you. We went to a matinee today, and couldn't decide what to see. Ultimately, the movie with the closest starting time was the deciding factor. I was pleased.

If you want to hear a cool song, check out this.

Chiayya Chiayya Bollywood Joint

If you were curious as to the nature of the lyrics, you can be assured they are completely inoffensive (you don't speak Hindi do you?) . Check it out

Jinke sar ho ishq ki chhanv
Paaon ke neeche jaanat hogi
Jinke sar ho ishq ki chhanv
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Saare ishq ki chhanv chal chhaiya chhaiya
Saare ishq ki chhanv chal chhaiya
Pau janat chale chal chhaiya chhaiya
Pau janat chale chal chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Vo yaar hai jo khushboo ki tarah
Jiski zubaan urdu ki tarah
Meri shaam raat meri kaaynaat
Vo yaar mera sainya sainya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Gulfosh kabhi itraaye kahin
Mehke to nazar aa jaaye kahin
Gulfosh kabhi itraaye kahin
Mehke to nazar aa jaaye kahin
Taaveez banaake pehnoon usay
Aayat ki tarah mil jaaye kahin
Taaveez banaake pehnoon usay
Aayat ki tarah mil jaaye kahin
Gulfosh kabhi itraaye kahin
Mehke to nazar aa jaaye kahin
Taaveez banaake pehnoon usay
Aayat ki tarah mil jaaye kahin
Gulfosh kabhi itraaye kahin
Mehke to nazar aa jaaye kahin
Vo yaar hai jo imaan ki tarah
Mera nagma vohi mera kalma vohi
Mera nagma nagma mera kalma kalma
Mera nagma nagma mera kalma kalma
Mera nagma nagma mera kalma kalma
Mera nagma nagma mera kalma kalma
Yaar misaale ous dhale
Paaon ke tale firdous chale
Kabhi daal daal kabhi paat paat
Main hava pe dhoondhoon uske nishaan
Saare ishq ki chhanv chal chhaiya chhaiya
Saare ishq ki chhanv chal chhaiya
Pau janat chale chal chhaiya chhaiya
Pau janat chale chal chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Main uske roop ka shehdaai
Vo dhoop chhanv se harjaai
Vo shokh hai rang badalta hai
Main rangroop ka saudaai
Main rangroop ka saudaai
Jinke sar ko ishq ki chhanv
Paaon ke neeche jannat hogi
Jinke sar ko ishq ki chhanv
Paaon ke neeche jannat hogi
Shaam raat meri kaaynaat
Vo yaar mera sainya sainya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Saare ishq ki chhanv chal chhaiya chhaiya
Saare ishq ki chhanv chal chhaiya
Pau janat chale chal chhaiya chhaiya
Pau janat chale chal chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chhaiya chhaiya chhaiya
Chal chhaiya .

Honestly, I haven't the slightest as to the nature of the lyrics, so I just enjoy the trick stylings of Sapna Awasthi and Sukwinder Singh.

Ok. I'm going to admit it. I have a bit of a thing for Hindi, Bollywood style music and dancing. Have you ever been flicking through the channels and have caught a snippet of an Indian music video, or a dance sequence from a Bollywood musical? I swear, I cannot turn the channel. I suppose it's a little strange.

Let me reccomend a Bollywood movie with a plotline even the most traditional of English majors could follow. Bride and Prejudice is an excellent jumping off point. Familiar roles of Mr. Wickham, Bingley, and Darcy are played out against the exciting backdrop of India. BONUS. For those of you who are Lost fans, you may recognize Naveen Andrews in the role of Balraj Bingley
